Lightweight and Versatile: The Helios H300 Portable Oxygen Unit
The Helios H300 portable oxygen unit is a blessing to those who have to be on oxygen almost twenty-four hours per day without an end in sight. These very compact systems allow individuals to conveniently carry the system without trouble and it is very long lasting as well. The system is a liquid oxygen system, which means that it is not as dangerous if dropped like the concentrated oxygen tanks that used to be one of the only choices on the market.
Since the Helios H300 portable oxygen unit is filled with liquid oxygen, it can hold more at a time, since the liquid form takes up less space than the gas form of oxygen. The Helios H300 portable oxygen unit weighs less than four pounds, allowing even a weaker person to carry it with relative ease since it can be hooked directly to the person’s body instead of carrying it. They system lasts up to ten hours between being filled, and unlike other systems, can be filled in a very short amount of time – under a minute!
Other Systems
There are other liquid oxygen systems besides the Helios H300 portable oxygen unit, but most of the others are more cumbersome to carry around. In addition, most of the other systems take a professional to fill them rather than allowing the individual to do it. With the Helios H300 system, there is a home reservoir that will need to be filled by a professional occasionally, but allows the individual to fill the portable tank by themselves whenever they need it. One down side to any liquid oxygen system is that it will evaporate so some of the oxygen is lost that way, making the tank empty more quickly than other systems.
With concentrated portable oxygen systems, there are some difficulties that are dangerous to the individual. Since the oxygen is in a compressed form, it is under pressure which allows more oxygen to fit into the tank and also allows it to flow out of the tank when needed. However, the high pressure condition of concentrated portable oxygen systems make them very dangerous to carry around since if they are dropped they are likely to explode if the casing gets cracked in any way. These systems also usually need refilling by a professional rather than the individual, which is more of a burden to the individual, limiting their freedom, unlike the Helios H300 portable oxygen unit which is totally self sufficient for the individual to use.
