Oxygen-Enrichment 18 LINN LINN Germany has been manufacturing oxygen enrichment systems for 20 years. Thedesignbrief for the latestdevelopment was to produce a robust and reliable sys- temwith a high oxygen transfer efficiency. In addition, the new floating device was to be as light, convenient, easily-serviced and quickly-deployable as possible. The development trials were a success, and LOXY® was born – the latest state-of- the-art oxygen enrichment system from LINN! LOXY® This new enrichment system contains a novel rotary mixing mechanism wit- hin the plastic body. This is driven by an electric motor located above the water surface. This mixer propels the water out- wards in the contained system, due to its rotation. The resulting fast-flowing water generates a vacuum, and pure oxygen is drawn in and entrained through a tube in the mixer, and is distributed in very fine bubbles within the water. LOXY® – 0.37 or 0.55 kW With the help of this new invention, LOXY® achieves a very good level of oxygen enrichment with low energy con- sumption. Previous systems worked with ‘bottle- necks’ (for example, the venturi nozzle – disadvantage: a relatively high water pressure is required) or with wheels or brush wheels (disadvantage: a lot of ener- gy is required tomove the water) Compa- red to these systems, LOXY® has the ad- vantage that, due to the rotarymixer, only a very small portion of the water needs to LOXY® –motor cover easy removable without tools LINN.eu THE LATEST GENERATION OF OXYGEN ENRICHMENT
