Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In an aspect, the oxygen concentrator module can comprise an electrochemical cell (40) comprising a cathode (34), an anode (54), a proton exchange membrane (42) located in between the cathode (34) and the anode (54), a cathode side chamber (32) located on a side of the cathode (34) opposite the proton exchange membrane (42), and an anode side chamber (52) located on a side of the anode (54) opposite the proton exchange membrane (42); a gas feed stream (10) in fluid communication with the cathode side chamber (32); a concentrated oxygen stream (56) in fluid communication with the anode side chamber (52) to remove the concentrated oxygen stream (56) from the anode side chamber (52); a separated water stream (96) in fluid communication with the cathode side chamber (32) to remove the separated water stream (96) from the cathode side chamber (32); and an enthalpy exchanger (20) in fluid communication with the cathode side chamber (32) via an exchanged stream (22), wherein the gas feed stream (10) is in fluid communication with the enthalpy exchanger (20) upstream of the electrochemical cell (40) to form the exchanged stream.
