Oxygen generator is a complete set of equipment that uses air as raw material to produce oxygen (or liquid oxygen), nitrogen (or liquid nitrogen) and argon, neon-helium, krypton-xenon and other mixed gases. In general, because air separation equipment is mostly used to produce oxygen, it is customary to call it "oxygen generator".

During this period, with the development of production, the field of use of oxygen generators continued to expand, which promoted the development of large-scale oxygen generators. Because large oxygen generators are used in gold smelting and ammonia synthesis industry. After 1950, due to the development of iron and steel industry, nitrogen fertilizer industry, and rocket technology, the consumption of oxygen and nitrogen increased rapidly, which prompted the development of large-scale oxygen generators. Since 1957, 10,000 cubic meters per hour oxygen generators have come out one after another.

The development of pressure swing adsorption oxygen production technology started early in China, and the 1970s was the heyday of the development of China's separation air oxygen production technology. More than a dozen units across the country have successively carried out experimental research on PSA oxygen production technology, and established several sets of industrial test equipment.
