Recreational oxygen is also termed as consumer oxygen, which is used to enhance brain functioning and also to improve athletic endurance. Recreational oxygen can’t be replaced with the medical oxygen as medical oxygen is used for treatment purposes and is controlled by the FDA as a therapy. Along with this, equipment used for the delivery of recreational oxygen is called recreational oxygen equipment.

Moreover, recreational equipment includes concentrators and bar equipment among others. Oxygen concentrator does not create oxygen, whereas it separates oxygen from nitrogen and other gases which are present in the surrounding by a method called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). Additionally, it doesn’t change the oxygen percentage in the surrounding instead it separates oxygen at the top of the machine and deposit nitrogen at the bottom, and delivers oxygen to the consumer from the top of the machine.  The oxygen bar equipment is mostly used in festivals, tradeshows, corporate party, spa or shopping mall. These can provide 88 to 90% purified oxygen and can hook plastic nose hose to breathe.
