A pioneering separable oxygen generator engineered to deliver efficient, convenient, and comfortable oxygen therapy.

I'm Ruotong Li, a junior student majoring in Product Design and Manufacturing. My interest in design stems from a desire to create and innovate. I find joy in brainstorming new ideas and exploring ways to improve products from various angles. Proficient in CAD and other digital tools, I enjoy translating ideas into visual designs and using rendering techniques to bring concepts to life.

Growing up with family members working in hospitals, I developed a keen interest in medical equipment and devices. This exposure sparked my passion for industrial design. I believe that effective design goes beyond aesthetics; it's about understanding user needs and creating solutions that enhance functionality and usability.

In my career journey, I aspire to become a skilled industrial designer, leveraging my creativity and technical skills to design products that make a positive impact on people's lives.

ZENO – Separable Oxygen Generator

ZENO is a pioneering separable oxygen generator engineered to deliver efficient, convenient, and comfortable oxygen therapy. It amalgamates advanced design principles and cutting-edge technology to fulfil the requirements for top-tier oxygen therapy while surmounting the constraints and hurdles associated with conventional oxygen systems.

Primarily, ZENO boasts a distinctive exterior characterized by its cylindrical framework complemented by a hollow design, deviating from the conventional rectangular configuration and showcasing unique aesthetic attributes. Its modular architecture streamlines assembly and maintenance processes, enabling users to operate and uphold the equipment effortlessly, thus augmenting product reliability and sustainability.

In terms of technology, ZENO adopts a hybrid approach involving two-phase liquid cooling and heat pipe technology for effective heat dissipation, which significantly curtails equipment operating temperatures and mitigates noise emissions. Moreover, the integration of Venturi tube technology reduces exhaust pressure and optimizes airflow dynamics, thereby further attenuating noise while enhancing the efficiency of the fin tube heat exchange. The multi-layer filtration system adeptly eliminates airborne impurities, safeguarding the molecular sieve and augmenting oxygen purity and stability, thus furnishing users with a safer and more dependable oxygen therapy environment.

Additionally, ZENO offers user-friendly operation with its intelligent control system and intuitive interface, empowering users to effortlessly select and adjust oxygen therapy parameters, thereby enhancing convenience and personalization. By simply rotating the handle, users can effortlessly retract the oxygen tube into the device, facilitating storage and portability, thereby rendering oxygen therapy more convenient and adaptable.

As an innovative oxygen generator, ZENO not only caters to the demand for high-quality oxygen therapy but also attains industry-leading standards in design, technology, and user experience, providing users with a safer, more reliable, and comfortable oxygen therapy solution.

Breathe better, live better.
