Subject: Partial pressure mixing helped our compressor
Fifth Dimension installed a gas mixing panel, and now does partial pressure
filling for nitrox, etc. We use to have a continuous blend system through
our Rix compressor.

We have not changed the rings in 2 months since we dumped the continuous
blend system. When we had the old system, we were changing the rings every
2 - 3 weeks and had our cooling tower blow (not sure if it's related to the O2).


Although buying bottles of O2 costs more than a big bottle of liquid O2, we
don't have to worry about evaporation if we have a slow month, and we are
saving a lot of $$ in rings and service. Partial pressure filling is the
way to go.
