Default Would 2 m15's power a Cheetah?

We have two Unlimited Oxygen M 15 concentrators and would like to upgrade our torch to a GTT Cheetah. We currently run a Mini cc, we use one M15 for soft glass and then run both for Boro. Would they provide enough O2 to run the Cheetah at full or near full power ???


Thanks

Hi guys
The cheetah would require 10.4 lpm of oxy which the two m-15s would easily do the pressure required im not to sure about but when Kblinkster gets back on im sure will be able to give you a spot on answer.

Ok ive found some info on the Oxy Psi required which is between 20-25 psi so you would not be running at 100% as the m-15s only deliver 8lpm at 15 psi. Hope this helps till kblink gets on.

regards
andrew

I'm going to try to get back to work, tomorrow. I got back from GAS conference and then got very, very sick and I'm still recovering. I have a bunch of emails left to answer, too (including yours, Andrew).

Anyway, I'll check with Wally tomorrow about what pressure he was running to get the consumption rate data. Remember that on tanks, you get your higher flow rates by increasing the line pressure. So, when you already have the needed flow like from a concentrator, you may not need that flow delivered at as high a pressure.
