    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure describe a design that isolates concentrated oxygen from electrical and/or flammable components of a ventilator. In an example, ventilator components containing or otherwise interacting with concentrated oxygen are isolated from the electrical equipment and/or drained to an exterior of the housing of the ventilator, in case of a leak. For example, an isolating structure encases the concentrated oxygen-carrying components to prevent concentrated oxygen from inadvertently leaking into the inside of the housing of the ventilator. The isolating structure may be a sleeve. An isolation gas inside the isolating structure may be fluidly coupled with ambient air outside the housing of the ventilator to allow the escape of isolation gas outside of the ventilator housing.
