Abstract
Embodiments of gas concentrating systems and methods are provided. These systems and methods comprise configuration of hardware and software components to monitor various sensors associated the systems and methods of concentrating gas as described herein. These hardware and software components are further configured to utilize information obtained from sensors throughout the system to perform certain data analysis tasks. Through analysis, the system may, for example, calculate a time to failure for one or more system components, generate alarms to warn a user of pending component failure, modify system settings to improve functionality in differing environmental conditions, modify system operation to conserve energy, and/or determine optimal setting configurations based on sensor feedback.

A method comprising:
- collecting oxygen and pressure data from sensors of a gas concentrator;
- calculating a linear regression for the pressure data;
- determining a predicted time to failure for one or more gas concentrator components based on the collected oxygen data;
- determining the slope of the pressure linear regression;
- and
- generating one or more component alarms based on the oxygen data and the pressure linear regression.
A method comprising:
- collecting oxygen and pressure data from sensor of a gas concentrator;
- calculating linear regressions for the oxygen and pressure data;
- determining a predicted time to failure for one or more gas concentrator components based on the oxygen linear regression;
- determining the slope of the pressure linear regression calculation;
- and
- generating one or more component alarms based on the oxygen linear regression and the slope of the pressure linear regression.
A method comprising:
- collecting oxygen and pressure data;
- calculating a linear regression for the pressure data;
- determining a first predicted time to failure for one or more gas concentrator components based on the oxygen data;
- determining a second predicted time to failure for one or more gas concentrator components based on the pressure linear regression;
- comparing the first and second predicted times to failure;
- setting based on the comparison a time window having a period that ends before a sooner one of the first predicted time to failure or the second predicted time to failure of the one or more gas concentrator components;
- and
- generating one or more component alarms within the time window.
A method comprising:
- collecting oxygen and pressure data from sensors of a gas concentrator;
