A passive valve for use as a fixed leak valve. The valve includes a body having an internal chamber, first and second body ports in fluid communication with the chamber with the first port configured for fluid communication with a patient connection and the second body port configured for fluid communication with a ventilator, a body passageway in fluid communication with the chamber and with ambient air exterior of the body, and a check valve seal positioned to seal the body passageway to permit the flow of gas within the chamber through the body passageway to the exterior of the body and to prevent the flow of ambient air exterior of the body through the body passageway into the chamber. In alternative embodiments, the valve is incorporated into the patient connection or constructed as a separate part connectable to the patient connection.

A method of providing a breath to a human patient. The patient has a patient connection connected, by a patient circuit, to a ventilator having a first ventilator connection and a different second ventilator connection. Each of the first and second ventilator connections are in fluid communication with the patient circuit. The method includes identifying, with the ventilator, initiation of an inspiratory phase of the breath, delivering a bolus of oxygen to the first ventilator connection before or during the inspiratory phase, and delivering breathing gases comprising air to the second ventilator connection during the inspiratory phase. The ventilator isolates the bolus of oxygen delivered to the first ventilator connection from the breathing gases delivered to the second ventilator connection.

An air separation system includes an air separation module configured to receive feed air and separate the feed air into nitrogen-enriched air and oxygen-enriched air, a nitrogen-enriched air line for transporting the nitrogen-enriched air from the air separation module to a fuel tank for inerting, an oxygen sensing line connected to the nitrogen-enriched air line, a gas adsorption filter located in the oxygen sensing line, and an oxygen sensor downstream of the gas adsorption filter in the oxygen sensing line.

Provided is method for concentrating ozone gas the method including the steps of: allowing ozone gas to be adsorbed onto the adsorbent by introducing ozone gas-containing raw material mixed gas into an adsorption vessel (20) that houses an adsorbent for adsorbing ozone gas; reducing a pressure in a concentration vessel (30) in a state where the concentration vessel (30) does not communicate with the adsorption vessel (20), the concentration vessel (30) being configured to be connected to the adsorption vessel (20) so as to be interswitchable between a state where the concentration vessel (30) communicates with the adsorption vessel (20) and a state where the concentration vessel does not communicate with the adsorption vessel (20); and introducing concentrated mixed gas including ozone gas with a higher ozone gas concentration than the ozone gas concentration in the raw material mixed gas into the concentration vessel (30) by desorbing the ozone gas adsorbed onto the adsorbent using a pressure difference between the internal pressure of the concentration vessel (30) and an internal pressure of the adsorption vessel (20) in a state where the concentration vessel (30) having a reduced internal pressure communicates with the adsorption vessel (20) that houses the adsorbent onto which the ozone gas is adsorbed, and delivering the desorbed ozone gas into the concentration vessel (30). Also provided is an apparatus (1) for concentrating ozone gas for implementing the method.
