OxyGen Electrochemical Air Purifier

open in viewerMillions of people every year require oxygen therapy for support or as life sustaining measures due to a rise in chronic illnesses and viruses, such as COVID-19, and the increase in elderly population. The goal of this project was to design a unit that could efficiently and reliably produce a pure supply of oxygen, require low energy, and be environmentally friendly. This was achieved by developing a predictive OxyGen pump model and comparing it to literature data as well as producing further experimental data for support of the concept. In the end, while laboratory-based efforts to reproduce literature data were limited in success, a strong model for the data was produced that allowed for design specifications of the system to be calculated. Two final designs were created, one a mobile version for on-the-go usage and another that is more applicable to hospital-like settings, overall establishing a possible breakthrough in practical electrochemical oxygen production.
