How it works - The Technology
The McKinley Altitude Simulator™ features a single ATF® pressure swing adsorption (PSA) module that replaces over 200 components found in conventional PSA hypoxicators.
A patented single rotary distribution valve built into the ATF® module is continuously rotated at low speed by a precision synchronous motor. The valve is maintenance-free, self-cleaning, insensitive to contamination, and invulnerable to wear. It sequentially directs the flow of compressed air to a group of four sieve beds (adsorption), while at the same time another four beds are purged into the atmosphere through the valve (desorption).
The remaining four of the twelve beds are interconnected through the valve to equalize pressure as the sieve beds sequentially transition between adsorption and desorption. In contrast to a conventional PSA hypoxicator, the small amplitude pressure swings generated by the McKinley Altitude Simulator's™ twelve beds eliminate loud noise impulses, the need for a pressure regulator, and reduce compressor wear.
No other system offers the quiet elegance and maintenance-free reliability of the McKinley Altitude Simulator™.
