The Essex OGL is designed to liquefy, store and fill LOX equipment.  It has FDA 510(k) Clearance which covers the use of the OGL in military and commercial applications to produce and transfer liquid oxygen (LOX) into portable systems, such as the Essex BMOS (Backpack Medical Oxygen System), MMOS (Mounted Medical Oxygen System) and NPTLOX (Next Generation Portable Therapeutic Liquid Oxygen System).  These portable systems are then used to provide supplemental oxygen for patients during transport. 

The OGL generates 1 liquid liter of 93% USP oxygen per hour, with an onboard LOX storage capacity of 40 liters.  It has a user-friendly operator interface and runs on standard 240 VAC.  Designed for reliability in harsh conditions, the OGL is portable, using a fork lift or pallet transport.

Founded in 1947, Essex Industries is a leading supplier to the Aerospace and Defense market, providing platform controls, aircraft components and liquid oxygen life support/ground support systems.  Essex also manufactures products for First Response, Safety and Medical markets in their four facilities, which are all located in Saint Louis, Missouri.  For more information on Essex products, visit www.essexindustries.com
