Element LP Low Pressure Nitrox System
The Element LP Nitrox System produces oxygen-rich air (22-40% nitrox) for delivery to the intake of a separate high pressure (HP) or low pressure (LP) compressor. The secondary compressor compresses the nitrox to fill tanks for later use or to a low pressure (LP) compressor for direct use by a surface-supplied diver.
The Nuvair Element LP is a nitrox generator that supplies low pressure enriched air nitrox to an external high pressure (HP) compressor for tank fills or to a low pressure (LP) compressor for use by a surface-supplied diver. Although it is described as a "nitrox compressor," it can also be used to pump air. The Element LP comes in electric, gas or diesel powered models and can deliver 6-15 CFM (170-427 L/min) of nitrox depending on percentage of oxygen delivered.
