Background and Identification
The Atlas Copco SF is a range of oxygen concentrators made by Atlas Copco, a Swedish company that produces industrial tools and equipment. An oxygen concentrator is a medical or industrial device that concentrates the oxygen from either ambient air or another gas supply. Oxygen concentrators selectively remove nitrogen and other gases from the air to provide an oxygen-enriched stream. Atlas Copco develops, produces, services, and rents equipment like air compressors.
The SF range of oxygen concentrators includes oil-free scroll air compressors. This means that the concentrator’s compression scrolls have no metal-to-metal contact, so oil lubrication is not necessary for the compression chamber. The scroll compression elements result in quiet operation. According to Atlas Copco, the SF oxygen concentrator includes a minimal number of moving parts, which extends the operating life. The Atlas Copco SF is advertised to eliminate dust and other particles as small as one micrometer.
The Atlas Copco SF oxygen concentrator can be identified by the letters “SF” printed in large font on the front of the machine’s metal housing. The name “Atlas Copco” is printed in white font in the upper left-hand corner of the housing’s front face. The machine’s model number is typically printed in bold font on the front of the machine, as well.
