WARMING COIL (COMPANION 1000)
The warming coil on the Companion 1000 Portable is a heat exchanger that transfers
heat from the surrounding atmosphere to the fluid contents inside the coil. The purpose
of the warming coil on the Companion 1000 is to vaporize the liquid oxygen and warm
the resulting gaseous oxygen entering the breathing circuitry. The warming coil on the
Companion 1000 is not field serviceable. Replace the entire coil as a means of service.
