Medical Piped Gas Systems Supply

Medical piped gas systems in hospitals, and most other healthcare facilities, are essential for supplying piped oxygen

Oxygen

Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. Its name derives from the Greek roots ὀξύς and -γενής , because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition...

, nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or sweet air, is a chemical compound with the formula . It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic...

, nitrogen

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a chemical element that has the symbol N, atomic number of 7 and atomic mass 14.00674 u. Elemental nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting 78.08% by volume of Earth's atmosphere...

 and medical air to various parts of the hospital. These systems are usually highly monitored by various computerized alarm systems.

Oxygen

Oxygen may be used for patients requiring supplemental oxygen via a mask. Usually accomplished by a large storage system of liquid oxygen at the hospital which is evaporated into a concentrated oxygen supply, pressures are usually around 55 psi. In small medical centers with a low patient capacity, oxygen is usually supplied by multiple standard cylinders.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide is supplied to various surgical suites for its anesthetic functions during pre-operative procedures. Delivered to the hospital in standard tanks and supplied through the Medical Gas system. System pressures around 50 psi.

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is typically used to power surgical equipment during various procedures. Pressures range around 175 psi to the various locations.

Carbon Dioxide

Typically used to inflate or suspend tissues during surgery. System pressures are maintained at about 50 psi. it is also used in laser surgeries.

Medical Air

Medical Air is supplied by a special air compressor

 to patient care areas using clean outside air. Pressures are maintained around 55 psi.

Medical Test Gas Mixtures

There are many gas mixtures used for clinical and medical applications. They are often used for patient diagnostics such as lung function testing or blood gas analysis. Test gases are also used to calibrate and maintain medical devices used for the delivery of anaesthetic gases.

Medical Culture Growth Mixtures

Culture growth applications include controlled aerobic or anaerobic incubator atmospheres for biological cell culture or tissue growth. Controlled aerobic conditions are created usign mixtures rich in oxygen and anaerobic conditions are created using mixtures rich in hydrogen or carbon dioxide.

Medical Vacuum

Medical Vacuum in a hospital supports vacuum equipment and evacuation procedures, usually supplied by various vacuum pump systems exhausting to the atmosphere. Continuous vacuum is maintained around 22 inches of mercury.executive

    Vacuum Insulated Evaporator
    The vacuum insulated evaporator is a device which hospitals use to store large amounts of oxygen .It stores oxygen as a liquid and therefore needs to be insulated, rather like an insulated flask, otherwise the oxygen will rapidly warm and pass from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase and be lost...
