20 LPM Veterinary Oxygen System — For Growing General Practices
4–6 anesthesia machines · 12–18 LPM estimated demand. Select the smallest oxygen plant that covers the estimated demand, then ask ON2 to confirm simultaneous use, operating reserve and site requirements. These are selection guides, not minimum operating loads.
Size from equipment demand
Count anesthesia machines, standard ventilators, dental units, oxygen doors and kennels at 3 LPM each; oxygen cages at 20 LPM and high-flow ventilators at 60 LPM. Confirm manufacturer-stated oxygen flow for specialized equipment.
Site preparation
Aura 10/20 use 120V plug-and-play connections. Aura 40 requires a dedicated 208V circuit. Aura 80 uses 208–240V, 32A single-phase with a 40A breaker and NEMA 14-50R. ON2 confirms model-specific room size and ventilation.
Service and timing
Annual preventive maintenance is included in the 5-year warranty. Typical lead time is 8–12 weeks after paperwork is complete.
Key benefits
- Supplies multiple stations at once — surgery plus recovery
- Sized for 2–3 vet general practices
- Fixed monthly cost no matter how busy you get
- No cylinder rental, delivery, or hazmat handling
Frequently asked questions
How many surgery stations can 20 LPM support?
A 20 LPM system comfortably supplies concurrent surgery and recovery for a typical general practice. Clinics adding ICU oxygen cages or a third active suite usually move up to the 40 LPM system.
Will on-site generation keep up with a busy day?
Yes. The plant produces oxygen continuously from ambient air, so unlike cylinders it does not run out mid-procedure or require swapping during a busy surgical schedule.
Is installation disruptive?
Installation is handled by ON2 and scheduled around your clinic. Most installs are completed quickly with minimal interruption to your surgical calendar.
