OXYCAT – Controlled Atmosphere Systems

High Altitude Systems

The high altitude system is an ideal solution for professional and youth teams who want to train at altitude camps at the beginning of the season. Ideal altitudes to train are 2500-3000 meters, however, in Turkey, for example, camping centers such as Erzurum are at the altitude of 2200 meters. Moreover, in order to benefit from training at altitude, it is necessary to stay in a high camp for longer periods of time (4-6 weeks on average) and endure various altitude discomforts in the first days.

In order to create higher altitudes, prolong the trainings and eliminate altitude sickness, OXYCAT is happy to offer high altitude training systems which can be adjusted in minutes on the same day from the sea level up to 8000 – 9000m altitude according to your needs. With this investment, athletes can benefit from the effects of high altitude trainings throughout the year, and since the system will be located in your facility, you can gradually increase the altitude to avoid the altitude sickness.

In addition to the increase in performance and focus due to high altitude, athletes can also accelerate their recovery processes by spending time or sleeping in a high altitude room after an injury. With its regeneration effect, which is one of the main effects of high altitude, it provides a unique performance when used regularly. It helps to recover very quickly after a match as it removes fatigue. Sleeping for 1 hour at high altitude is equivalent to sleeping for 8 hours at sea level.

Other Controlled Atmosphere Applications

O2Low applications can also be used outside of the main sectors where controlled atmosphere technology is primarily used:

OXYCAT fire prevention application. In rooms where OXYCAT fire prevention systems are installed, the oxygen level is lower, but at a rate where people can safely enter the environment and do their necessary work. However, the level of oxygen is not enough for a fire to burn, so no ignition or fire is possible. This provides a total and cost-effective solution to prevent the ignition of a fire and therefore fire damage.

O2low anoxic application. The preservation of historical artifacts is carried out by applying the O2low anoxic protocol in the archives or inside display cases. By controlling the level of oxygen, gases, temperature and humidity, etc., the system protects the artifacts against insect infestation, humidity, fire, oxidation and all other biological damages.

Nitrogen blanketing applications. Nitrogen blanketing is a technique used to eliminate the risks of bacteria, mold and rust formation that may occur in the upper inner surface of the tank where the product is stored  (that is the area where there is no product but the air is in contact). It prevents the products and the walls of the tank from coming into contact with air.
