Liquid oxygen, sometimes abbreviated as LOX or LOXygen, is a clear cyan liquid form of dioxygen O2. It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard, [1] an application which has continued to the present.
Liquid oxygen takes up less space than oxygen in its gas form, making it easier and lighter to carry around. Not only that, it also can be stored at a much lower pressure. This makes liquid oxygen tanks safer than concentrated oxygen cylinders under high pressure.
Liquid Oxygen therapy uses pure oxygen and is most often prescribed to patients who need high levels of oxygen. This video explains the components of a liquid oxygen system and how to use and care for your device.
Liquid oxygen is a form of supplemental oxygen that is the standard of care for persons who experience a drop in oxygen levels when moving around (ambulatory oxygen desaturation) that is not adequately controlled with tanks or portable oxygen concentrators (POCs).
Liquid oxygen is a type of oxygen delivery where oxygen is compressed and cooled to a point that it becomes frozen. Most liquid oxygen systems provide a high concentration oxygen and do not require any electricity to run.
Liquid oxygen is pale blue and extremely cold. Although nonflammable, oxygen is a strong oxidizer. Oxygen is necessary to support life. Oxygen will react with nearly all organic materials and metals, usually forming an oxide. Materials that burn in air will burn more vigorously in oxygen.
Liquid Oxygen, commonly referred to as LOX, exists as a pale blue, highly magnetic liquid, showcasing the unique properties of oxygen when it is cooled beyond its boiling point at -183 degrees Celsius (-297 degrees Fahrenheit).
Liquid oxygen is lightweight making it easier to carry than other oxygen alternatives. It lasts longer between refills, giving you more time to run errands or have fun. It provides 100% oxygen with better therapy outcomes.
Rotech provides home oxygen concentrators and portable oxygen systems to help make home oxygen therapy simple and convenient, at home or on the move.
Liquid oxygen therapy is the medical process of providing additional oxygen to a patient who can not get enough oxygen on their own. Conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, dysphasia, COPD, heart failure, lung disease, and pneumonia can be treated by liquid oxygen therapy.
