A gas fractionalization system including a compressor for receiving air from the ambient environment and producing a flow of pressurized air, a gas separation system for producing a concentrated gas portion from the pressurized air, a valve for controlling duration during which the compressed air is delivered to the gas separation system during a pressurization cycle, and a product chamber for receiving concentrated gas produced by the gas separation system. The gas fractionalization system includes a control system that itself includes a pressure sensor for sensing the occurrence of high and low pressures within the product chamber, a processing system that determines the pressure ratio of the high and low gas pressure within the product chamber, and a valve controller that manipulates the valve, and, hence, the duration in which the flow of pressurized air is presented to the gas separation chamber based on the pressure ratio.

1. A method for varying a valve cycle time in a gas fractionalization system comprising:determining a high pressure level of gas within a product chamber of a gas fractionalization system; determining a low pressure level of gas within the product chamber; calculating a pressure ratio of the high pressure level versus the low pressure level; and manipulating a position of a valve that controls delivery of pressurized gas from a compressor to a gas separation system in such a gas fractionalization system based on the pressure ratio for controlling presentation of pressurized gas to the gas separation system during a charging phase.
