THEORY OF OPERATION
This section describes the theory of operation for the Companion 1000/T Portable
liquid oxygen unit, including system component descriptions, liquid oxygen saturation
principles, and Companion 1000/T operating principles.

COMPANION 1000/T COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
Following is a brief description of each of the major functional components of the
Companion 1000/T Portable.
2.1.1
Cryogenic Container
Liquid oxygen is stored in the Companion 1000/T Portable at a temperature of
approximately -276°F (-171°C) and a pressure of 22 psig (152 kPa). The cryogenic
container (Figure 2-1) minimizes the transfer of ambient heat to the liquid oxygen
contents. It consists of a stainless steel inner container suspended within a stainless steel
outer container.
