High Volume Oxygen
I'm the creator of the High Volume Oxygen system, the owner of High Volume Oxygen and a boro artist. The High Volume System has been up and running for years and is replacing liquid and compressed oxygen systems all the time. My list of customers include Robert Mickelsen in Fla, Branden Martin in St Paul MN, Morio in Kyoto Japan and Kevin Murray in Portland. Any one of these artists I'm sure would be glad to give you honest feed back about the HV system. I love to talk about how the system works and I love to talk about boro so Please feel free to ask me questions.
PS You can see a picture of the system running a cc at Mountain Glass on my profile page on this site. Also please check out -- and like - my High Volume Oxygen page on facebook.
Thanks

Hi Marc, your former Beth Tiger Shark torch still lives happily with me.
The system looks great! If/when my RIX dies, I'll be in touch.

Thanks Marina. Let me know. Just curious, how many oxygen machines do you use for a system like that?

I'm using two OG-20's feeding into a bank of 4 k-tanks.

Thanks Sadie. so the pricing depends on how much oxygen you go through. The HV30 retails for $5,800. In addition you probably need two 10 lpm machines. I can package a complete system for you. I only sell high quality new equipment so the pricing is a bit higher. The up side is reliability. I also recommend Pyronamix and oxygen plus for good quality refurbished machines and service.

sounds like a good system. I think thats about 12 to 18 lpm from the 20's. Im guessing the rix compresses at a rate of 10 lpm . Do you run it continuously?

I think there's definitely a place for the rix system and a place for mine.

No, I fill the tanks and then use from there. At the time, it was the best solution for my needs. If I was buying a system today, it would be a different calculation.

so this system doesn't include oxycons? you have to add oxycons on top of the price of this unit?

Yes. My system controls the oxygen machines turning them on when the pressure drops to 50 psi and turning them off when the oxygen reaches 100 psi. I do also package systems with oxygen machines, but only the new ones.

hmm. that kind of price tag and having to buy oxygen concentrators on top of that, well that's way too rich for my blood.
i'll stick with a homefill.

I think there's definitely a place for both systems. Also why make a change when what you have is working. The big difference between the HV system and home fill is the rate of compression and available volume of oxygen. A home fill system compresses oxygen at a rate of 5 to 10 lpm. The invocare is 5lpm, the rix more like 10. Additional machines don't speed up the fill rate. So you run the system around the clock to accumulate the oxygen you need. When you run out you have to wait.The HV compresses at a rate of 40, 80, or 160 lpm which is huge by comparison. You turn it on when you work and have all the volume and pressure you need. Then you turn it off when your done. Also because it's low
pressure 50 to 100 psi, the system goes at least seven to ten years before
maintenance. Low pressure is much less wearing on parts. Also the system doesn't need to be on long hours , consuming power when you're not working.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I would need to provide your compressor with 40LPM min which is ~9 Oxycons...

You can start with one 10 lpm machine but I recommend at least 2 or 20 lpm. 10 lpm machines are very common and east to get. 3 will power a mirage, but 2 will be all you need for a phantom. 4 tens are what I have in my studio. I can run the mirage and a CC with an optomiser. I can easily teach on 5 minors. Remember you can always start small and add machines over time.

The home fill units are meant to fill very small tanks, for example one person on oxygen who requires about 3 to 5 lpm throughout the day. If you use them to fill larger tanks they need to run continuously which wears them out. They are simply undersized for the job. The rix systems are designed to fill small diving tanks to very high pressure. They work great for that job but require expensive new head gaskets from time to time and also fill at a fairly slow rate -- 10 lpm. The HV system was designed by a boro artist for working glass continuously at full power. It compresses oxygen 4 times faster than the rix and 8 times faster then the modified home fill machines.
