Development of Pressure Swing Adsorption Technology for Spaceflight Medical Oxygen Concentrators (Completed) (Completed)

Last Published: 03/26/21 03:34:00 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Ritter, James

Short Title: O2 Concentrator-Ritter

Responsible HRP Element: Exploration Medical Capability

Collaborating Org(s):

National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI)

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:
This project will identify approaches to improve the efficiency of the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) separation and thus culminate in a breadboard system that will supply 4 LPM of oxygen, weigh 7.2 pounds and require 106 watts of electric power.

Resources (None Listed)

Deliverables (1)

Category: Technology or Tool
Subcategory: Systems Solutions, Prototype Hardware or Software

Description:
The deliverable is a TRL 5 system that provides oxygen concentration capability. The TRL 5 delivery will contribute to the closure of Gap 4.04 by addressing interim stage 5.

Internal Customers:
Exploration Medical Capability
External Customers:
