Abstract
The invention relates to an oxygen separator for generating a flow of oxygen-enriched gas, said oxygen separator comprising at least two oxygen separation devices arranged to separate oxygen from an oxygen comprising gas, said at least two oxygen separation devices each comprising a first end for receiving the oxygen comprising gas and a second end for delivering an oxygen-enriched gas. The oxygen separator further comprising an equalization duct fluidically coupled to the respective second end of said at least two oxygen separation devices, a first gas sensor is provided in the equalization duct such that the first gas sensor is arranged to monitor at least one component of the oxygen-enriched gas in the equalization duct; and control device arranged to control the oxygen separator based on the monitoring by the first gas sensor.
