Will somebody please amuse me by giving me some details on how the "continuous blending method" for filling a cylinder with nitrox works? I've just started an ANDI course (I like the instructor, can't care about the agency), and it seems the author of the manual is quite vehemently against the partial pressure filling method. The reasons I can understand, "how do you know whether a cylinder is O2 clean". I can have my cylinder cleaned, and then just fill it with my own compressor without anybody the wiser. The way I see a "continuous blending method" is to make a "Y" split in the line coming from the air compressor and an O2 cylinder, where you can just control the flow of O2 to mix constantly with the air from the cylinder. With such a method you'll only need to ensure that a certain small part of your system is clean, not the customer's. Right, wrong? How difficult is it to set up such a system? On a related note, how do you O2 clean a cylinder? Can't be that difficult and I'd like to know how much I'm going to be ripped off for a clean.
