Sechrist 2500 Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber ＋ Oxygen-Generator - $49,000 (Offers Welcomed)
QR Code Link to This Post
This 1995 Sechrist chamber has only 3,600 cycles on it. It was purchased in 2012, and used for 12 years in a residential environment. Included is a Stryker gurney (also in excellent condition), and 1 oxygen-approved "wedge” cushion. This Sechrist 2500 is narrow enough to fit through the standard front door-frame of a home.
An additional oxygen chiller and heater are included, for comfort during summer and winter use. These are the blue and black colored appliances next to the chamber. Also included is the overhead TV monitor.
The oxygen generator was manufactured in Slovakia in 2013, using all EU-sourced components by the Danish company Oxymat. This is their O40 Eco model that produces 38 liters per minute of 95% ~ 97% breathing oxygen gas, at a high pressure of 6-Bar (110-psi), and stores it in two 500-liter tanks. For one treatment at a pressure of 30-PSIG (which is the maximum), and a purge rate of 50-lpm, this provides a comfortable supply of ambient oxygen (no mask) for a maximum of 90 minutes. At the end of a treatment, both tanks will be at 30-psi, and will require about 90-minutes to refill. The electrical requirements of this generator are 220-volts, 1-phase, 40-amps—an electrician will likely be required to install a dedicated breaker, but 300-feet of armored electrical cable is included.
This generator originally included a purity analyzer, but the zirconian module in these devices require replacement after a few years because they constantly monitor purity. I opted to continue to using the generator without it because of the cost to service it (about $1000 every 2 years), and because it seemed useless. The purity was always 95%, and I could confirm this at anytime with a handheld gas analyzer. And so Oxymat instructed me concerning its removal from the generator, and configuration to operate without it. You can get one from them, however; the cost might be much more now.
500 feet of stainless-braided PTFE hose is included for oxygen delivery. This allows placement of the noisy generator far away, in a well ventilated room. I stored the generator in a garage where I could feed the compressor with fresh air from an adjacent window, and route all drainage air/oil outside into an underground collection container. Normally drainage is collected indoors with dedicated containers, but it is a noisy process so I routed it outside.
Also included are plenty of maintenance supplies. I have regularly maintained this generator. Its coal tower, and molecular sieve, were both replaced in August. I will included all of the removed zeolite (which appears to still be useful), and enough unused zeolite for another change. This is UOP Molsiv zeolite from Oxymat—all European sourced components.
I am selling it because of lack of use, and personal financial requirements.
