Military Uses
Military aircraft sometimes use molecular sieve oxygen concentrators (MSOC) to supply the aircrewmen with oxygen at high altitudes. Otherwise, supplies of liquid oxygen are used.
Oxygen concentrators have also been used by the Armed Forces of the United States in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the equipment used by medical and surgical units in the field.
