sorry I'm so full of questions.... feel free to just post a link and move on or tell me I'm in over my head! LOL
A concentrator should not be stored outside. Their real enemy is humidity. It kills them faster than anything else. Always keep concentrator indoors.

As for size the are typically 12x16x28 inches (DxWxH)....

A oxygen concentrator produces oxygen at the rate of 4-5 LPM (liters per minute) at a working pressure of 5-7psi (pounds per square inch).

Small oxygen concentrators contain their own compressors, and draw room air in and filter the nitrogen out of the air and produce oxygen somewhere near 97% pure.

Large, high volume (commercial application) oxygen generators "may" require a external air compressor depending on how unit is designed.
