Oxygenator Membrane

Membrane oxygenators are one of the most effective ways to saturate liquids with oxygen. They are devices that are used to deliver oxygen to various liquids such as water, blood, medicines, etc.

The operating principle of a membrane oxygenator is based on the use of a semi-permeable membrane that allows oxygen to pass through, but does not allow other gases and molecules to pass through. As a liquid passes through an oxygenator, oxygen diffuses through the membrane and saturates the liquid.

Oxygenators can be used in various fields, including medicine, chemistry, biotechnology and other areas where oxygenation of liquids is required. For example, in medicine, membrane oxygenators are used to saturate blood with oxygen before transfusing it to a patient. In chemistry, oxygenators are used to saturate solutions with oxygen before carrying out chemical reactions.

One of the advantages of membrane oxygenators is their high efficiency and accuracy of saturation of liquids with oxygen. They can saturate liquids with up to 99% oxygen, making them very useful for many applications. In addition, membrane oxygenators are safe and easy to use, which makes them accessible to a wide range of users.

However, like any other medical device, a membrane oxygenator may have its drawbacks. For example, some users may have problems using an oxygenator if they have breathing problems or if they have certain medical conditions. In addition, some oxygenators may not provide sufficient oxygenation under certain conditions, such as high temperature or high solute concentrations.

In general, membrane oxygenators are an effective and reliable way to saturate liquids with oxygen, which can be used in various fields of science and technology. However, before using the oxygenator, it is necessary to test it to ensure that it meets the user's requirements.

In medicine, oxygenators are devices that provide a continuous flow of oxygen. They are used to oxygenate blood before transfusion to save patients with chronic hypoxia. This technology is based on the process of physical diffusion.

The main parts of oxygenators include: - a capsule for filling blood; donor blood enters the capsule cavity through a connecting hose, where it is saturated with oxygen - supplied to the main laminar path. The capsule is attached to the engine and provides a continuous flow of liquid, which is saturated with oxygen - the main laminar flow in laminar flows is the diffusion of oxygen through a membrane located in the shell. O2 or enriched air is used as a breathing reagent - fan oxygen coming from the capsule is mixed with the room air , creating an atmosphere containing an increased amount of oxygen. This device is called a cell oxygenator, it is capable of saturating a large amount of liquid from a single input stream. The circuit is similar to the one in the figure, but sometimes the number of cells can be increased (10-30), which significantly speeds up the perfusion rate.
