What does LOX cost as compared to High Pressure gas? Because all oxygen is first created in liquid form, LOX is invariably cheaper than high-pressure oxygen gas. In order to get high-pressure oxygen gas, the LOX has to be converted to gas and then pressurized to fill the high-pressure cylinders. For these reasons, LOX will provide more gaseous oxygen at a lower price for the user if the LOX is supplied and then converted to gas on demand. As mentioned in "where would I get LOX", all local gas suppliers store their oxygen in liquid form. Therefore, a source of LOX can easily be found. A word of caution, because gas suppliers make considerable $ by renting and/or refilling high-pressure cylinders, they may show reluctance to want to supply LOX. However, armed with the knowledge in the FAQ, it should be relatively easy to convince them to be your LOX supplier, or you may just get it from someone else. |
