Abstract

Oxygen concentrator apparatus and method of use are described herein. The oxygen concentration may include at least one canister; gas separation adsorbent disposed in at least one canister, and a compression system. At least one of the canisters has a variable internal diameter cavity, wherein the diameter of the internal cavity is narrower at a position between the inlet end and the outlet end than the internal cavity diameter at the inlet end and the outlet end of the canister.
