Maximum Oxygen flow allowed in a plane ?

Hi, what is the max flow in a plane ?

Not sure you would need to check with the airline to be sure as they do vary. I know I have never had trouble with my own which is normally 2 ltres but doubles to 4 when flying.

I believe the maximum flow that airlines provide with their own equipment is in the region of 2-4 lpm.

My Inogen one g3 certified for aircraft use can provide a max of approx 5 lpm.and even using it's largest battery which i don't think is authorised for use in the cabin i would probably only get about 4 hrs flight time at 4 lpm.considering your last post i am not aware of a POC for use on an aircraft that can supply 8 lpm,i don't think one has yet been developed and if there were one you would probably need more than a suitcase full of batteries to sustain even the shortest of flights,i would suggest considering another form of transport if you require that amount.

Thanks Skischool ! I will look into the one g3 but my problem is its a 15 hrs flight straight . Its is sad to sometimes think that I can not travel or go anywhere coz of this o2 that I have to carry all day .

Thanks again !

You will need to have a chat with the airline you are flying with and see what's on offer?

Good luck.

I went to Jamaica last year and I flew with TUI, I had a fit to fly test done at the Respiratory centre and was told I will need 2 litres per minute whilst in the aircraft.

TUI supplied the oxygen for free and they will supply to three passengers at any one time. I went on the aircraft with my own concentrator with batteries Inogen One g2.

Sequal. And Equinox portable concentrates go to 9 lpm and are airline approved. Hope this helps

Ok Thanks DriverHV, I hope they are available here in Canada , would u be able to give me the link if I cant find it . Is this the continious flow or pulse flow?
