GAZE CU UTILIZRI
MEDICALE
Independent de structura medical a spitalelor -general sau de specialitate- exist modele
tipologice de alctuire spaio-funcional i tehnologic a acestora, prin care se asigur condiiile
optime de lucru n raport cu specificitatea activitilor medicale, sau complementare actului medical,
efectuate.
n acest sens, la orice spital, se remarc existena serviciilor medicale de terapie i tratament
-bloc operator, bloc de nateri, serviciu de anestezie i terapie intensiv, serviciu de urgene- a cror
operaionalitate este condiionat de utilizarea fluidelor medicale.
De asemenea, dotarea tehnico-sanitar a saloanelor pentru bolnavi din seciile de spitalizare
impune asigurarea accesului la instalaiile de gaze medicinale, de la patul pacientului.
Alimentarea cu fluide medicale a oricrui spital este o necesitate absolut.
Este evident c, n practica de proiectare a unitilor spitaliceti, sistemele de alimentare cu
fluide medicale reprezint o categorie vital de instalaii, a cror conformare i capacitate sunt
determinate de mrimea spitalului, tehnologia medical impus, precum i de caracteristicile
echipamentelor i materialelor disponibile.
Conceperea, realizarea i exploatarea acestor sisteme considerate dispozitive medicale1
impune respectarea, n egal msur, a reglementrilor normative cu caracter medical i a celor cu
caracter tehnic.
Scopul principal al instalaiilor de fluide medicale este de a asigura la nivelul receptorilor
distribuia gazelor cu parametrii optimi -debit i presiune-, n condiii de siguran pentru
pacient i personalul medical.
Structura general a instalaiilor de alimentare cu gaze, include: sursele -dup caz, fixe sau
mobile-, reelele de conducte pentru transportul i distribuia gazelor, dispozitivele de reglaremsurare a parametrilor funcionali, sistemele de monitorizare-semnalizare optic i acustic,
respectiv prize pentru racordarea receptorilor-aparatura i echipamentele medicale.
Aceste sisteme n integritatea lor trebuie s ndeplineasc cerinele Directivei Dispozitivelor
Medicale 93/42/EEC, transpus la nivel naional prin HG 911/2005, cu obligativitatea respectrii
prevederilor standardelor europene SR EN 739, ISO 7396-1, 2, HTM 02-01, SR EN 13485 i SR
EN13348, precum i a prescripiei tehnice ISCIR-PTC4/1.
Conform Directivei Europene 93/42, este considerat ca dispozitiv medical orice instrument, aparat, echipament,
substan sau alt articol destinat a fi utilizat singur sau n asociaie, n scopuri de diagnostic preventiv, control, tratament
pentru ameliorarea unei boli i a crui aciune principal asupra corpului uman nu este obinut prin mijloace
farmacologice sau imunologice, nici prin metabolism, dar al crui serviciu poate fi asociat prin astfel de mijloace.

1.2.1 INSTALAII DE OXIGEN

Oxigenul este un gaz incolor, fr miros i fr gust, nu arde, ntreine arderea i nu este
toxic.
Densitatea oxigenului gazos la temperatura TN=273,15 K (0C) i presiune atmosferic
normal pN=1,01325 bar (760 mmHg) este =1,429 kg/m3. La presiune atmosferic normal i la
temperatur de -183C, oxigenul de transform ntr-un lichid de culoare albstruie.
Dintr-un litru de oxigen lichid se formeaz prin evaporare, n condiii normale, 0,79 m 3
oxigen gazos. La temperatura de -218,4C i presiunea atmosferic de 760 mmHg, oxigenul se
solidific.
n spitale, oxigenul se folosete n special n seciile chirurgicale (pentru narcoze i pentru
tratamentul postoperator al pacienilor), n seciile de boli interne (pneumonii, boli circulatorii,
intoxicri cu gaz), pentru respiraia artificial, la paralizia infantil, tetanos sau intoxicri cu
somnifere, la ajutorarea respiraiei prematurilor, n fizioterapie la bile medicinale cu gaze, etc.
5
Punctele de consum se stabilesc prin tema de tehnologie medical, cu precizarea amplasrii

i numrului acestora n diferite ncperi, gruparea pe secii i sistemul de semnalizare n caz de
absen a oxigenului.
Este obligatorie alimentarea cu oxigen a blocului operator, a blocului de nateri, a serviciului
de anestezie, terapie intensiv, a sectorului de urgen, a compartimentelor pentru sugari i
prematuri, a compartimentului de ari grav.
Pentru seciile medicale de spitalizare se va asigura cel puin o priz de oxigen n fiecare
salon al seciilor de chirurgie, cardiologie, traumatologie, obstetric, iar pentru celelalte secii n
toate rezervele sau saloanele destinate cazurilor grave.
De la staia de distribuie, oxigenul este transportat pn la receptori prin reele de conducte.
n procesul de curgere prin conducte, oxigenul se destinde i se rcete, innd seama c 1m3 de
oxigen saturat, la temperatura de +30C, conine 30,3 g vapori de ap, iar la 0C numai 4,84 g vapori
de ap, rezult necesitatea montrii unor separatoare de condensate prevzute cu robinete de purjare,
n punctele joase ale reelei.
1.2.2 INSTALAII DE AER COMPRIMAT
Aplicaiile aerului comprimat n spitale sunt foarte variate, fiind indispensabil activitii din
seciile de spitalizare i diagnostic-tratamente, precum i unor servicii tehnologice.
n spitalizare i n slile de operaii i reanimare, aerul comprimat se folosete pentru respiraia
direct de lung durat sau ca mijloc de antrenare pentru aparate de aspirat, comandate prin presiune.
Presiunea de utilizare este de 5 at.
Utilizri importante ale aerului comprimat exist i n cazul terapiei cu aerosoli (folosit n
cazul bolilor cronice sau acute ale cilor respiratorii), n balneofiziotarapie (administrarea de bi cu
bule de aer), precum i la acionarea ejectoarelor pentru producerea de vid i vid redus, pentru
absorbii. Presiunea de utilizare este de 5 at. cu excepia aerosolilor, unde se limiteaz la 1,5 at. n
cadrul laboratoarelor, se utilizeaz, de asemenea, aerul comprimat tot la presiunea de 5 at, fie pentru
lucrri chimice, fie pentru producerea de vid redus.
Trebuie inut seama c presiunea de utilizare a aerului comprimat este diferit, n funcie de
consumatori, fiind necesare reductoare de presiune pentru utilizrile cu presiuni mai sczute de 5 at.
Aerul comprimat se produce n staii centralizate echipate cu compresoare pentru uz medical
sau cu butelii de gaz.
Nu este permis folosirea aerului comprimat medical pentru alte scopuri, pentru ceilali
consumatori (ateliere mecanice, hidrofoare, climatizare, spltorie i sterilizare central, comenzi
pneumatice) pentru care aerul comprimat se prepar distinct i se distribuie pe alte reele de
instalaii.
1.2.3 INSTALAII DE VID/AER ASPIRAT
Vidul este necesar n spitale pentru toate tipurile de absorbii: absorbii din cmpul operator,
absorbii din cile respiratorii superioare, absorbii de durat n domeniul vidului redus.
Principalele locuri de utilizare a vidului sunt: n slile de operaii, la terapie intensiv, n
seciile de chirurgie (de obicei o priz la trei paturi), la laboratoare, nlocuindu-se aa numitele
trompe de ap, care pot produce un vid preliminar de circa 15 mmHg (torri).
Consumurile de vid pentru scopuri medicinale sunt de 10-25 l/min.
6
Vidul necesar se produce ntr-o staie central, prin pompe de vid, de preferin pompe cu
inel de ap care au avantajul c beneficiaz de o splare continu cu ap.
Ca i pentru instalaiile de oxigen, pentru instalaiile de vid se prevd sisteme de control i
semnalizare a parametrilor de funcionare.
1.2.4 INSTALAII PENTRU GAZ DE NARCOZ
Pentru distribuirea centralizat a gazului de narcoz n blocul operator i n blocul de nateri
se prevd instalaii specializate, care constau dintr-o staie de producere, reele de distribuie i
echipamente la punctul de consum.
n staia de distribuie a gazului de narcoz se amplaseaz buteliile sau recipientele cu
protoxid de azot sub presiune (de regul de capacitate mic 35 kg), organele de distribuie i
control a presiunii.
Staiile pentru gaz de narcoz se amplaseaz n vecintatea consumatorilor (chiar n blocul
operator sau n imediata lui apropiere).
Reeaua de conducte de distribuie se execut cu evi din cupru i se dimensioneaz la fel cu
reelele de aer comprimat.
1.2.5 INSTALAII CU DIOXID DE CARBON
Dioxidul de carbon (CO2) este un gaz incolor i inodor, care se utilizeaz pentru explorri
medicale neinvazive.
n stare normal (TN =273,15 K i pN =1,01325 bar), densitatea dioxidului de carbon este
2 = 1,562 kg/m3 (deci, CO2 este de 1,52 ori mai greu dect aerul).
Temperatura critic fiind de +31 0C, se poate lichefia cu uurin. Temperatura de fierbere a
dioxidului de carbon lichid la presiune atmosferic normal, PN =1,01325 bar, este de -78,5 0C. La
temperatur de -56,2 0C i la presiune de 5,28 bar, CO2 poate fi lichid, solid sau gazos (punctul
triplu). Se dizolv uor n ap, solubilitatea scznd odat cu creterea temperaturii.
Dioxidul de carbon comprimat se transport n butelii de oel. Presiunea dioxidului de carbon
din butelie depinde de temperatura acestuia t [0C] i de gradul de umplere a buteliei respective.
1.3 PRODUCERE I FURNIZARE

UNITI TERMINALE
Unitile terminale, respectiv prizele pentru gaze, constituie interfaa dintre instalaie
i utilizator.
n aceast corelaie, instalaia ndeplinete rolul fundamental al unui sistem vital
asigurnd fluidul esenial pentru meninerea sau redarea unei funciuni, n situaii critice, n
timp ce receptorul - pacientul, reprezint sistemul care necesit a fi stimulat.
Conexiunea celor dou sisteme trebuie s se realizeze n timp util i n condiii de
deplin siguran pentru utilizator i operator.
Din aceste considerente, se impune ca alctuirea, dimensiunile i amplasarea prizelor de
gaze, n unitile spitaliceti, s respecte reguli stricte - precizate prin standarde i norme
specifice.
Unitile terminale trebuie s corespund prevederilor SR-EN 737-1, s ndeplineasc
cerinele de calitate i siguran impuse pentru toate categoriile de dispozitive medicale i s
poarte marcajul european de conformitate CE.
Din punct de vedere constructiv, prizele sunt concepute pentru diferite soluii de montaj:
-individual - prize cu cuplare rapid (foto.2.1)
montate pe poziie fix, aparent sau ngropat n perete,
utilizate n cabinete medicale, sli de tratament i explorri
funcionale; Sunt utilizate pentru conectarea diverselor
echipamente i accesorii medicale. Din punct de vedere
constructiv, exist mai multe tipuri corespunztor
standardelor germane (DIN), franceze (NF), britanice (BS)
sau italiene (UNI).

-integrat n echipamente medicale - sistem coloane chirurgicale
suspendate de plafon, n dou variante constructive - fixe i retractibile
(foto.2.3) i brae specializate pentru chirurg i respectiv pentru
anestezist, dotate cu prize pentru fluide medicale, manometre pentru
vizualizarea presiunii, prize electrice, conectori pentru echipamente utile,
ine, rafturi i supori pentru fixarea diverselor aparate necesare efecturii
interveniilor chirurgicale.
n slile de operaii se mai utililizeaz:
Foto. 2.3
-ine pentru gaze medicale - fixe sau glisante, montate la plafon i echipate cu
furtunuri suspendate, prevzute cu prize pentru conectarea diferitelor ustensile medicale
necesare n cmpul operator i
-prize individuale de plafon - la care se racordeaz manual aparatura de utilizare a
diferitelor tipuri de gaze.
Foto. 2.4
n toate situaiile, prizele de fluide medicale trebuie s fie uor identificabile, accesibile
i utilizabile, n condiii de deplin securitate pentru pacient i personalul medical.
Pentru recunoaterea funciunii, capacele prizelor sunt inscripionate cu denumirea gazului
distribuit i marcate n culorile convenionale, codificate (foto.2.4); Constructiv, prizele sunt
conformate diferit pentru a nu accepta dect tipul de conector specific gazului, ceea ce le
confer un grad ridicat de securitate, prin eliminarea riscului de administrare eronat.

prizelor se face ntr-o succesiune prestabilit, n
diferitele forme de organizare a cmpurilor de captare
- fig.2.1.
n dispunere orizontal, de la stnga la dreapta: oxigen
(O2), protoxid de azot (N2O), amestec 50% oxigen i
protoxid de azot (O2/N2O), aer medical (AM), aer
comprimat chirurgical/operaional (AO), vacuum
(VAC), gaze anestezice reziduale (GAR) i amestec
heliuoxigen (He/O2). Distana dintre prize interax
trebuie s fie de 135+/-2,5 mm.
n cazul n care acest aranjament este
impracticabil, prizele pot fi montate pe dou rnduri
paralele, la 200 mm distan ntre ele, cu meninerea
pe primul rnd a prizelor pentru O2, N2O i/sau
N2O/O2, (AM).

SISTEME DE ALIMENTARE
CU GAZE MEDICALE
3.1 ORGANIZAREA SISTEMELOR DE ALIMENTARE
n raport cu organizarea funcional a unitilor spitaliceti, alimentarea cu fluide
medicale trebuie s satisfac, n condiii de siguran deplin, cerinele tuturor serviciilor
-medicale i complementare- din cadrul departamentelor i seciilor specializate de
diagnostic i tratament, corespunztoare diferitelor profiluri medicale.
n acest scop, alimentarea se realizeaz n sistem centralizat, prin intermediul unor
instalaii fixe, destinate fiecrui tip de gaz i alctuite din: surse, reele de transport i
distribuie, elemente pentru reglarea i msurarea parametrilor funcionali, tablouri de
control i alarmare i uniti terminale pentru conectarea aparaturii medicale.
Instalaiile trebuie s asigure alimentarea autonom i continu a tuturor
consumatorilor deservii cu gaze la parametri cantitativi i calitativi impui de destinaia
acestora.
Aceste cerine, rezultate din prevederile SR EN ISO 7396-1, impun un nivel ridicat de
rezervare pentru toate componentele sistemului, care se determin n funcie de riscul potenial.
n figura 3.1 este prezentat schema de principiu pentru alimentare cu principalele fluide
medicale.
Fig. 3.1 Schema de principiu pentru alimentare cu principalele fluide medicale
16
3.1.1 SURSE
Pentru a putea fi asigurat continuitatea alimentrii cu gaze, standardul SR EN ISO
7396-1 impune, pentru fiecare tip de gaz, prevederea obligatorie a cte trei surse
independente - principal, secundar i de rezerv - racordate la sistemul de distribuie,
fiecare capabil s asigure debitul de calcul, integral.
- Sursa principal - reprezint sursa destinat n mod curent pentru asigurarea continu
a necesarului de gaze, dimensionat pentru cerina corespunztoare consumului simultan
maxim, la parametri cantitativi i calitativi impui de folosine;
- Sursa secundar - destinat s intervin n caz de avarie a sursei principale, capabil
s preia integral alimentarea consumatorilor la parametrii impui;
- Sursa de rezerv - constituind ultima surs racordat la reea, care poate satisface
cerina de gaze n situaii de avarie a surselor primar i secundar, sau la
disfuncionaliti ale sistemului de distribuie.
n funcie de tipul i modul de asigurare/producere a gazelor, n tabelul 3.1 se
prezint variante recomandate pentru configurarea celor trei categorii de surse.
Organizarea surselor centralizate se face n spaii special destinate, amplasate dup caz,
nafara cldirii spitalului - pentru oxigen, aer comprimat i aer aspirat - sau n interiorul
cldirii, n vecintatea consumatorului - pentru gazele de narcoz i cele utilizate n
colioscopie.
Componentele critice ale instalaiilor din surse se by-passeaz, iar echipamentele
electrice se racordeaz i la sistemele de alimentare cu energie electric de rezerv.

Observaii:
1. Pentru sistemele duplex i triplex de compresoare i sistemele triplex de pompe de vid,
fiecare compresor/pomp trebuie s aib capacitatea nominal egal cu debitul total al
sistemului;
2. Pentru sistemele cvadruplex, fiecare compresor/pomp trebuie s aib capacitatea
nominal corespunztoare la jumtate din debitul de calcul;
3. Pentru toate sistemele de compresoare al cror debit depete 500 litri/min. trebuie
prevzute cte dou rezervoare de stocare, fiecare cu posibilitate de izolare
independent;
4. Toate sistemele de instalaii trebuie s fie conectate i la sistemul de alimentare cu
energie electric de rezerv;
19
5. Sistemul de vacuum de tip Venturi este recomandat numai pentru folosire n caz de
urgen deoarece aceste instalaii sunt alimentate din sistemul de oxigen medical i
necesit cantiti mari de gaz.
6. Pentru sisteme de aer medical, capacitatea de stocare a rezervoarelor trebuie s permit
furnizarea a 50% din debitul de aer timp de un minut;
7. Pentru aer operaional n sistemele duplex i triplex, fiecare compresor poate avea
capacitatea egal cu o treime din debitul de calcul, cu condiia existenei unei capaciti
de stocare egal cu dublul debitului necesar timp de un minut;
8. n sistemele triplex i cvadruplex de vacuum medical, fiecare pomp de vid trebuie s
aib capacitatea egal cu debitul de calcul i s existe capacitate de stocare pentru ntreg
debitul timp de un minut.
3.1.2 REELE DE DISTRIBUIE
Distribuia gazelor sub presiune se face n sistem cu dou trepte de presiune prin:
-reele principale- pentru presiuni de 9-7 bar realiznd legtura dintre surs i
terminale - cofrete cu robinet de secionare, reductor de presiune, filtru i sisteme de alarmare
i
-reele secundare- pentru presiuni de 5-4 bar, care asigur legtura ntre terminale i
receptori-prize individuale de conectare, rampe de distribuie sau aparate medicale.
Este recomandabil ca reelele principale i reelele secundare aferente unor
departamente importante s fie realizate n sistem inelar, sau s fie dublate.
Pe fiecare ramur de distribuie se monteaz robinei de izolare de urgen i sisteme
de alarmare -optic i acustic-, pentru variaii ale presiunilor de serviciu cu +/- 20% fa de
presiunea nominal, respectiv pentru scderea vidului sub 60 kPa.
Pentru alimentare n situaii excepionale, n scopul utilizrii independente, reelele
secundare sunt prevzute nainte/dup regulatorul de presiune, cu racorduri pentru cuplarea unei
surse mobile de gaz - butelie cu regulator propriu de presiune, pe crucior.
Colectarea aerului aspirat/vidului se face ntr-o singur treapt de presiune, prin
intermediul unei reele de conducte principale, prevzut cu cofrete de secionare.
Evacuarea aerului rezidual, cu coninut de gaze de narcoz, se face direct n
exteriorul cldirii, prin intermediul prizelor specializate (AGS), racordate la o reea distinct,
alimentat din reeaua principal de aer comprimat.
Conductele de gaze medicale se realizeaz cu evi i fitinguri din cupru medical, cu
coninut de carbon mai mic de 32mg/dm3, simbolizat Cu-HDP, asamblate prin brazare cu
electrozi din argint (coninut minim 40% i fr cadmiu), n flux continuu de azot sau alt gaz
inert.
Conductele se eticheteaz cu simbolul gazului transportat (foto 3.1), cu codul de culoare
i sensul de curgere, pentru identificarea uoar i evitarea interconectrilor accidentale.
20
Montarea reelelor de gaze se face aparent, n plase orizontale la plafon (foto 3.2), sau
n plase verticale pe perei (foto 3.3).
Foto 3.2
Foto 3.3
Foto 3.1
Instalarea deasupra plafonului fals este admis numai dac spaiul nchis de acesta
este ventilat, sau atunci cnd conductele sunt montate pe ntreaga lungime, n evi/ghene de
protecie etane.
n ghenele de gaze medicale este interzis montarea conductelor pentru alte fluide, sau
a reelelor i accesoriilor electrice.
Pe conductele montate n ghene sau mascat nu sunt admise suduri
i racorduri.
nglobarea conductelor de fluide medicale n elemente de
construcie, este interzis.
Pe conductele principale, ramificaii laterale, coloane i racorduri,
se prevd robinei de secionare montai n cofrete transparente,
asigurate i amplasate n locuri uor accesibile pentru intervenie n

caz de necesitate (foto 3.4).
Cofretele terminale (de pe reelele secundare), (foto 3.5)
trebuie s conin regulatoare de presiune cu robinei de nchidere
i manometre, amonte i aval, precum i dou prize cu cuplare
rapid pentru racordare, n situaii de urgen, a buteliilor cu gaz
sub presiune, echipate cu regulatoare individuale.
Foto 3.5
Disfuncionalitile survenite accidental n alimentarea cu gaze, sunt semnalate prin
intermediul sistemului de alarmare, organizat pe dou nivele de monitorizare - la surs i
n reea.
Alarma principal (foto 3.6), semnaleaz -n staia tehnic
i n punctul de supraveghere permanent a sistemuluimodificarea presiunii/vacuumului, indicnd circuitul pe care se
inregistreaz supra/subpresiuni i necesitatea conectrii sursei

Alarma secundar/de zon (foto 3.7), indic modificarea

local a regimului de presiuni, respectiv creterea /descreterea
acesteia n raport cu valoarea normal. ntreruperea alimentrii sau
orice dereglare semnalat n reeaua zonei, impune intervenia
direct pentru corecia imediat a disfuncionalitilor constatate.

3.2 SCHEME DE ALIMENTARE

Pentru organizarea general a sistemelor de alimentare cu diferite tipuri de gaze, n
raport cu destinaia acestora i tipul surselor adoptate, n standardul ISO 7396-1 sunt prezentate
cu caracter orientativ, diferite scheme de principiu care pot fi adaptate n funcie de
particularitile specifice obiectivelor deservite.
Schemele prezentate n tabelul 3.2, includ componentele principale ale sistemelor
oferind rezolvri de principiu, n variante alternative privind:
- structura reelelor de distribuie ramificat sau inelar ;
- regimul de presiuni asigurat unitar sau difereniat ;
- tipul i configuraia surselor butelii cu gaze comprimate, recipieni cu gaze lichefiate
criogenice, generatoare/concentratoare de oxigen;
- amplasarea i racordarea surselor n spaiu comun sau separat.
Poziia relativ i modul de racordare a diferitelor componente va trebui corelat cu
dimensiunile de gabarit i caracteristicile funcionale ale echipamentelor i condiiilor de
amplasare.

Pentru gazele medicinale - oxigen, protoxid de azot, amestec protoxid de azot-oxigen,
aer reconstituit:
- reelele de distribuie se realizeaz cu dou trepte de presiune i se prevd cu posibiliti
de izolare i de alimentare din surse locale mobile, n situaii de urgen;

CONFORMAREA
SURSELOR/STAIILOR
TEHNICE
Gestionarea centralizat a fluidelor cu utilizare medical, n scopuri terapeutice sau
operaionale, implic realizarea staiilor tehnice necesare pentru distribuia sau, dup caz,
producerea i distribuia acestor ageni indispensabili activitii din unitile spitaliceti.
Denumite generic surse ale sistemelor de alimentare cu gaze, integreaz echipamente
i instalaii tehnologice specifice tipului i exigenelor calitative impuse gazului furnizat.
Complexitatea instalaiilor depinde de gradul i modul de procesare adoptat.
Produsele cu statut de medicament aprovizionate mbuteliat sub form de gaze
comprimate sau gaze lichefiate; Oxigenul poate fi stocat i n vrac n rezervoare criogenice,
sau poate fi generat local, prin tehnologia de concentrare prin site moleculare.
De asemenea, aerul reconstituit i amestecurile diverselor gaze medicinale, n
diferite proporii, se realizeaz local n staiile tehnice.
Aerul comprimat i aerul aspirat/vacuumul, sunt procesate centralizat n staiile
tehnice, prin intermediul instalaiilor de purificare i de realizare a presiunilor necesare.
n cadrul capitolului sunt prezentate principiile de organizare i de funcionare a
diferitelor tipuri de staii tehnice pentru alimentare cu fluide medicale.
4.1 PRODUCEREA OXIGENULUI MEDICINAL

Oxigenul medicinal de nalt puritate, peste 93%, se produce pe cale industrial prin
dou procedee tehnologice:
- distilarea criogenic fracionat a oxigenului lichid i
- concentrarea oxigenului prin adsorbia selectiv a azotului pe site moleculare
4.1.1 DISTILAREA CRIOGENIC FRACIONAT -ASV(Criogenic Air Separation Units)
Aerul atmosferic conine 78,08% azot, 20,95% oxigen, 0,93% argon i uneori gaze rare.
Procedeul de distilare criogenic permite obinerea oxigenului molecular de nalt puritate,
mai mare de 99,5%, care poate fi stocat sub form lichid, sau ncrcat n recipiente sub
presiune.
Conform schemei din figura 4.1, procesarea se desfoara n dou faze succesive - cald
i rece, n urmtoarea succesiune:
28
FAZA CALD - Aerul atmosferic prefiltrat, preluat de compresorul (1), este

comprimat la presiunea la care urmeaz s fie livrat ctre consumatori i dezumidificat n
recipientul (2), n care se colecteaz condensul i se reduce presiunea.
Aerul dezumidificat, este rcit pn n jurul temperaturii de 10 oC, n schimbtorul de cldur
(3), care funcioneaz cu agent frigorific.
Procesul de purificare continu prin filtrare succesiv n filtre de coalescen, sitare
gravitaional i adsorbie pe crbune activ (4), n care sunt reinute impuritile i toate
hidrocarburile.
Ultima treapt de tratare din cadrul procesului cald se desfoar n absorberul termic
alternativ (5), care are rolul de a ndeprta orice reziduu de vapori de ap, hidrocarburi i dioxid
de carbon. Acesta este compus din dou boilere interconectate, cu posibiliti de funcionare
alternativ, n faza de reinere i respectiv n faza de purjare, cu exhaustarea unei fraciuni din
aerul procesat.
Fig. 4.1 Schema procesului de producere a oxigenului prin distilare criogenic

FAZA RECE - Procesul n aceast faz, ncepe n schimbtorul de cldur
principal (6), n care aerul este rcit n contracurent cu gazul rezidual; La ieirea din
schimbtor, aerul procesat are temperatura de -112 oC i este parial lichefiat.
Lichefierea complet este realizat prin evaporarea oxigenului lichid rece n boilerul (7), unde
lichidul este nclzit. Dup ieirea din robinetul de control al boilerului, aerul intr ntr-un tip
de coloan de distilare (8), n care fluxul de vapori de oxigen se ridic n coloana ncrcat cu
material selectiv, n contracurent cu fluxul descendent de lichid procesat.
Aerul lichid cobornd n coloan, pierde azot i se mbogete n oxigen, astfel nct la baza
acesteia se obine oxigen lichid pur. Transferat prin robinetul de control i analizorul de oxigen,
oxigenul lichid este acumulat la presiune redus n rezervorul criogenic de stocare (9).
Vaporii ascendeni din coloana de distilare se mbogesc n azot i argon i sunt purjai ca agent
de rcire prin schimbtorul principal de cldur (6); O fraciune din aceste gaze reziduale
expandate la presiune redus, sunt reintroduse n proces prin injecie n absorberul termic (5),
n faza de regenerare.
Lichidul din rezervorul de stocare, este comprimat la nalt presiune, cu pompe de lichid
criogenic, n recipieni pentru oxigen lichid criogenic, cu capaciti cuprinse ntre 200 i 1000
29
litri (ap), de unde este vaporizat la parametrii mediului ambiental, pentru a produce oxigenul
gazos.
Gazul obinut poate fi comprimat la presiune ridicat, n butelii, pentru a fi livrat la
consumatori.
Oxigenul lichid criogenic poate fi livrat i n vrac la consumatori, unde este stocat n
rezervoare special amenajate i ulterior distribuit sub form de oxigen gazos prin intermediul
staiilor tehnice locale.
4.1.2 CONCENTRARE PRIN ADSORBIE SELECTIV PE SITE MOLECULARE

PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption)
Este o tehnologie folosit pentru separarea unor specii de gaze din amestecuri, sub
influena presiunii, corespunztor caracteristicilor moleculare i afinitii acestora cu un anumit
material adsorbant.
Procesul de reinere se desfoar n faz gazoas, sub presiune redus, n recipieni
ncrcai cu material adsorbant -site moleculare- utilizai alternativ, n ciclu defazat, pentru
adsorbie/desorbie - figura 4.2.
Fig. 4.2 Schema procesului de producere a oxigenului prin

adsorbie alternativ sub presiune
Ca site moleculare se folosesc zeoliii, minerale alumino-silicoase microporoase, de
provenien vulcanic, cu afinitate deosebit pentru ap i azot, astfel ncat n curentul de aer
este concentrat oxigenul.
Cnd masa adsorbant i reduce capacitatea de reinere a azotului, aceasta poate fi
regenerat prin reducerea presiunii i punerea n contact cu aer mbogit n oxigen. n acest
fel ncrctura reactivat este pregtit pentru urmtorul ciclu de concentrare a oxigenului.
Folosind doi recipieni, se asigur continuitatea produciei.
Ca variant tehnologic se aplic adsorbia selectiv sub vid -VSA- ,care realizeaz
segregarea anumitor gaze din amestecuri, la presiuni reduse, specifice caracteristicilor
moleculare i afinitii adsorbanilor; i n acest caz procesul se deruleaz n cicluri succesive,
pentru regenerarea materialului adsorbant.
Se deosebete fa de procesele criogenice (VIE) i de concentrare sub presiune (PSA),
ntruct se desfoar la temperatura i presiunea ambiental.

4.2 SISTEME DOTATE CU REZERVOARE CU LICHID

CRIOGENIC
Sistemul este folosit pentru stocarea gazului medical lichid la temperatur
criogenic, sub - 183 oC i vaporizarea acestuia, la temperatura ambiental, pentru distribuie
n reelele spitalului.
Sistemul este folosit, n mod normal, cnd cererea de oxigen este mare i depete
posibilitile de satisfacere cu recipieni criogenici sau butelii cu gaz comprimat;
Este constituit din:
- rezervoare izolate vacuumate, pentru stocarea lichidului criogenic n vrac;
- unul sau mai multe vaporizatoare la temperatura ambiental pentru convertirea
lichidului criogenic n gaz n vederea alimentrii utilizatorilor;
- echipamente pentru controlul presiunii i debitului de gaz distribuit n conducte.
Un regulator de presiune nalt permite alimentarea vaporizatoarelor i controleaz
automat presiunea n sistemul de oxigen lichid.
Pentru evitarea blocrii cu ghea la intrarea n conducte, situaie posibil la exploatarea
continu cu debite mari sau la depirea capacitii vaporizatorului, se recomand urmtoarele
msuri:
- supradimensionarea vaporizatorului;
- instalarea unor vaporizatoare suplimentare;
- nclzirea suplimentar a vaporizatoarelor, electric sau cu agent termic.
n cazul n care cerinele de gaz sunt reduse sau fluctuante, transferul de cldur
determin fierberea oxigenului lichid n rezervor i creterea presiunii interioare.
La depirea presiunii n rezervor sau n reeaua de distribuie peste valoarea limit
prestabilit, intr n funciune supapa de siguran pentru descrcarea gazului n atmosfer.
Sursele secundare realizate cu rezervoare criogenice trebuie integrate ntr-un circuit
economizor, racordat la reeaua de distribuie a spitalului.
n toate situaiile, presiunea n conducte este controlat prin sisteme paralele/duble, cu
vane i reductoare de presiune, gestionate telemetric.
n figurile 4.3 - 4.5 sunt prezentate scheme bloc, pentru conformarea sistemelor de
alimentare cu oxigen medical avnd sursa primar echipat cu rezervoare criogenice.
Rezervoarele pentru stocare criogenic sunt construite cu perei
dubli, din oel inoxidabil i manta metalic de protecie, bine
izolate termic pentru meninerea temperaturii lichidului.
Se monteaz suprateran, n cuve impermeabile din beton, n care s
fie reinute eventualele scurgeri accidentale - foto 4.1.
Stocul operaional se reface periodic cu oxigen lichid transportat
cu autospeciale de la furnizor.
Depozitele trebuie s fie asigurate cu acces carosabil n zona
punctelor de alimentare a rezervoarelor de stocare.
Foto. 4.1
31
Cnd disponibilitile de spaiu permit amplasarea depozitului de oxigen lichid n dou

locaii distincte, se prefer din punct de vedere operaional aceast soluie fa de amenajarea
ntr-un singur amplasament cu rezervoare multiple de oxigen lichid.
Sursa secundar se realizeaz n aceiai soluie, n amplasament comun ori separat, sau n
sistemul cu butelii cu oxigen criogenic.
La amplasarea depozitelor este necesar s fie asigurate distanele de siguran fa de
construciile i amenajrile existente, impuse de norme de securitate - Tabelul 4.1.
Distane de siguran pentru depozite de oxigen criogenic
Distane de siguran pentru amplasarea rezervoarelor cu oxigen lichid

4.3 SISTEME CU RECIPIENI /BUTELII CU GAZE

LICHEFIATE
Sistemul cu recipieni/butelii cu oxigen lichid este utilizat pentru stocarea
oxigenului medical lichid, la temperatur criogenic.
Recipienii foto 4.2, sunt construii la fel ca i rezervoarele criogenice, cu perei dubli
izolai i vacuumai, avnd capaciti ntre 200 i 1000 litri (capacitate n ap).
Spre deosebire de rezervoarele criogenice,
recipienii au integrat un vaporizator tip serpentin,
pentru conversia lichidului n gaz i sunt prevzute cu
racorduri pentru ncrcare cu lichid i conexiuni pentru
utilizarea gazului de consum.
Foto. 4.2
Sistemul este alctuit dintr-un numr de recipieni/butelii cu oxigen lichid stocat la
presiune redus (15 bar), cuplate prin intermediul unei rampe de distribuie i echipament pentru
reglarea i controlul debitului i presiunii gazului vaporizat.
34
n figura 4.6 este prezentat schema de principiu pentru organizarea staiilor tehnice
echipate cu recipieni cu gaz lichefiat. Amenajarea acestora se poate face n spaii nchise, bine
ventilate sau pe platforme exterioare.
Fig. 4.6 Schema de principiu pentru organizarea staiilor tehnice echipate cu recipieni cu
gaz lichefiat
Sistemul se folosete cnd cererea de oxigen a unitii spitaliceti nu poate fi acoperit
cu butelii cu gaz comprimat sau, cnd nu este posibil amenajarea depozitelor cu rezervoare
criogenice ori dac adoptarea acestei soluii nu este economic.
Stocul operaional este constituit ntr-un numr echivalent de butelii, pstrate n spaii
special amenajate la utilizator .
Sursa secundar poate fi amenajat n acelai sistem sau n sistem cu butelii cu gaz
comprimat.
4.4 SISTEME CU BUTELII CU GAZ COMPRIMAT

Reprezint soluia cea mai simpl i mai economic de alimentare cu oxigen /gaze
medicinale, utiliznd butelii cu gaz comprimat la presiune nalt-150/200 bar (kPa).
Sistemul este constituit din dou rampe cu
numr egal de butelii, conectate la reeaua de
distribuie prin intermediul unui panou de control
care asigur reducerea presiunii i interanjarea
automat a rampelor, pentru nlocuirea manual a
buteliilor, la epuizarea stocului operaional - foto
4.3.
Foto. 4.3
35
Fiecare ramp este echipat cu acelai numr de butelii, corespunztor necesarului de

oxigen pentru dou zile. Capacitile uzuale ale buteliilor folosite pot fi de 10, 40, 50 litri
(volum ap) la presiune de 150 bar sau de 20, 40, 50 litri la presiunea de 200 bar.
Schema de principiu a sistemului cu butelii cu gaze comprimate este prezentat n figura
4.7.
Fig. 4.7 Schema de principiu a sistemului cu butelii cu gaze comprimate

Regulatorul de presiune nalt se adopt corespunztor fiecrui tip de gaz distribuit.
Fiecare ramp de distribuie trebuie s fie prevzut cu clapei de sens, robinei de
nchidere i supape de siguran, amonte de robinetul de izolare i aval de regulatorul de
presiune; Descrcarea supapelor de siguran se face n exteriorul cldirii, n spaii n care
gazele purjate nu prezint pericol pentru persoane.
Sistemul de monitorizare controleaz parametrii funcionali ai fiecrei ramuri de
distribuie, semnalnd scderea presiunii sub limita admis, golirea rampei active i cuplarea
celei aflat n ateptare, respectiv scderea capacitii acesteia din urm sub 10% - n cazul n
care n cealalt ramur sunt constatate defeciuni.
Soluia se aplic i pentru celelalte gaze medicinale - protoxid de azot, amestec de
protoxid i oxigen, aer reconstituit.
Pentru protoxid de azot i amestec protoxid/oxigen, este recomandabil s se prevad
nclzitoare, n serie cu reductoarele de presiune.
Sursa de rezerv, organizat similar, se amplaseaz n aceeai staie tehnic, ntr-o
ncpere alturat surselor primar i secundar.
Robineii tuturor buteliilor din sursa de rezerv trebuie s fie n poziie "normal deschis",
pentru a putea debita imediat ce a fost deschis robinetul principal de izolare.
n toate situaiile, staiile tehnice trebuie s dispun de o rezerv de butelii n stoc, egal
cu numrul de butelii prevzut pe o ramur, n cazul oxigenului i cu un numr dublu de butelii
pentru celelalte gaze.
Depozitul de butelii se amplaseaz n spaiu separat, bine ventilat, i prevzut cu acces
direct din exterior pentru usurina operaiilor de aprovizionare.
4.5 SISTEME CU CONCENTRATOARE DE OXIGEN

Soluia se aplic ori de cte ori se justific din punct de vedere tehnicoeconomic, n
raport cu condiiile locale. Principalul avantaj pe care l are este asigurarea autonomiei unitii
spitaliceti n privina alimentrii cu oxigen.
Sistemul utilizeaz tehnologia sitelor moleculare, detaliat n subcapitolul 4.1.2.
Generatorul, prezentat principial n figura 4.8, este constituit din doi recipieni ncrcai cu
material granular care realizeaz adsorbia selectiv a componentelor aerului i produce local
oxigen medicinal.
Ca material adsorbant se utilizeaz zeolii
sau site moleculare sintetice, cu o
structur mai uniform, constituite din
granule cu coninut de siliciu i aluminiu,
agregate cu un liant inert.
Procesul se desfoar secvenial, n cicluri
defazate cu jumtate din durata total a
acestuia, ceea ce permite producerea
oxigenului n mod continuu.
Debitul de aer necesar este de 4:1
n raport cu debitul de gaz.
Fig. 4.8
Gazul de nalt puritate obinut conine oxigen n proporie de 90-96%, diferena fiind
constituit din argon i azot.
Eficiena adsorbiei este sporit prin procesare la presiune ridicat.
Regenerarea capacitii adsorbante a fiecrui recipient se face prin eliminarea
materialului adsorbit de ncrctura filtrant, prin injectarea unui debit redus din oxigenul
generat.
Efectul poate fi amplificat prin aplicarea unei depresurizri de scurt durat la sfritul
fiecrui ciclu, realizat cu pompe de vid.
Procedeul poate fi utilizat i pentru obinerea azotului de nalt puritate, dac se folosesc site
moleculare de carbon.
n componena instalaiilor pentru concentrarea oxigenului figura 4.9 - intr:
priza de aer proaspt, unitatea de filtrare, compresorul i rcitorul de aer, rezervorul de
compensare, recipienii de adsorbie i rezervorul tampon, pompele de vid, panoul de
reglare a presiunii i aparatura pentru monitorizarea debitului i concentraiei oxigenului
la ieire.
Pentru componentele principale se prevd cte dou uniti, una n funciune i una de
rezerv, fiecare dimensionat la debitul de calcul al staiei.
Fig. 4.9 Schema de principiu a sistemului de producere a oxigenului medical cu

concentratoare de oxigen cu site moleculare
Cnd concentraia oxigenului produs scade sub 94%, sistemul de monitorizare trebuie
s deconecteze staia de la reeaua de distribuie i s introduc automat sursa secundar sau de
rezerv.
n funcie de mrimea debitului solicitat, instalaia
poate fi realizat prin asamblarea componentelor
n staia tehnic, sau achiziionat ca
echipament industrializat - foto 4.4.
Amplasarea echipamentelor n staia tehnic
trebuie s asigure spaii corespunztoare pentru
exploatarea i ntreinerea acestora.
n acelai scop este necesar s se asigure
acces carosabil i condiii pentru intervenii n caz
de necesitate.
Foto. 4.4
n cazul surselor principale cu concentratoare de oxigen, sursa secundar i cea de

rezerv pot fi de tipul cu butelii cu gaz comprimat.
Gazele furnizate, avnd concentraii diferite - 93% i respectiv 96% - sunt compatibile
n sistemul de alimentare cu oxigen al spitalului.
4.6 SISTEME DE INTERVENIE LOCAL

Pentru protecie suplimentar mpotriva eventualelor
avarii din reeaua interioar de distribuie a spitalului, se prevd
butelii adiionale, acionate manual sau automat, conectate
permanent la reea prin intermediul unor racorduri fixe
prevzute cu clapete de sens.
Numrul i poziia acestor racorduri sunt determinate de
necesitatea asigurrii continuitii n alimentarea zonelor de
mare dependen, delimitate n funcie de evaluarea riscurilor
n cazul avarierii sistemului de alimentare.
Pentru sectoare necritice n care cerinele de oxigen nu sunt
mari, este mai indicat s se utilizeze, ca rezerv a sursei de
alimentare, butelii individuale echipate cu reductor de
presiune, robinet de nchidere i terminale specifice pentru
racordare direct la unitile terminale - foto 4.5.
Foto. 4.5
4.7 SISTEME PENTRU

AMESTECURI DE GAZE MEDICINALE/AER
RECONSTITUIT
Aerul sintetic este generat prin amestecul oxigenului gazos cu azot ntr-un panou
de amestec/mixer la presiune prestabilit, n aa fel nct rezultatul amestecului s fie
permanent corect.
Monitorizarea continu a concentraiei de oxigen n amestec, permite nchiderea
automat atunci cnd concentraia de oxigen se abate de la valorile specifice.
Dac unul din sistemele de amestec este nchis, conductele de distribuie sunt alimentate
de sistemul secundar de amestec pentru a asigura continuitatea alimentrii.
Sursa de oxigen criogenic poate fi utilizat att pentru alimentarea cu oxigen ct
i pentru producerea aerului sintetic, n funcie de cerinele sistemului.
De asemenea, azotul care alimenteaz sistemul de producere a aerului sintetic, poate fi
folosit i pentru acionarea echipamentelor chirurgicale, n locul aerului, la presiune de 7 bar.
Att pentru oxigen ct i pentru nitrogen, trebuie s existe o surs secundar de
alimentare pentru asigurarea producerii continue a aerului reconstituit.
Sursa secundar de oxigen poate fi, de asemenea, folosit ca sistem de alimentare a spitalului
cu oxigen medical.
Schema de principiu a sistemului este prezentat n figura 4.10.
39
Fig. 4.10 Schema de principiu a sistemului de producere a aerului reconstituit

Sistemul cuprinde:
-rezervoare de stocare a gazelor- cte un rezervor principal i un rezervor secundar
att pentru oxigen ct i pentru azot
-vaporizatoare pentru oxigen i azot;
-debitmetre pentru controlul sistemelor de alimentare cu oxigen i respectiv cu azot;
-panouri pentru reglarea presiunii de alimentare cu oxigen i azot a mixerelor;
-panou suplimentar (duplicat) pentru controlul amestecului de gaze ;
-rezervor tampon pentru fiecare linie de amestec, pentru compensarea debitelor
fluctuante;
-sistem de monitorizare i semnalizare;
-analizor de oxigen pentru fiecare mixer.
Staia trebuie s dispun pentru fiecare gaz, de rezervoare principale cu capacitate
corespunztoare necesarului pentru dou sptmni i respectiv rezervoare secundare cu
capacitate minim pentru necesarul mediu zilnic, capabile s asigure n orice moment dublul
debitului mediu zilnic de alimentare.
Aceste rezervoare trebuie s fie prevzute cu sisteme de msurare i transmitere la
distan a nivelului. Informaiile trebuie transmise att n spital ct i la furnizorul de gaz.
Nivelul de alarm n rezervorul principal este activat la 25% din volum, iar la rezervorul
secundar la 50% din volumul total.
40
Rezervoarele principale i secundare trebuie s fie prevzute cu vaporizatoare

dimensionate la 1,5 x debitul solicitat, pentru alimentarea continu 24 ore.
Fiecare vaporizator sau set de vaporizatoare trebuie s fie prevzut cu supap de siguran.
Panoul de control pentru oxigen i azot trebuie s regleze debitul i presiunea de
alimentare la valori potrivite pentru sistemul de amestec, n mod uzual 200 Nm3/or, la 7,5-9,5
bar.
Liniile de oxigen i de azot trebuie s fie echipate cu clapete de reinere pentru a preveni
amestecul necontrolat.
Mrimea mixerelor de gaze este tipizat pentru debite de 50, 100 i 200 Nm3/h.
Reglarea alimentrii cu oxigen i nitrogen se face cu robinet de amestec.
Presiunea celor dou gaze la intrarea n mixer, nu trebuie s difere cu mai mult de
0,5 bar.
Ventilul electromagnetic de pe mixerul principal, se deschide cnd presiunea scade la
4,2 bar, iar cel de pe mixerul secundar se deschide dac presiunea continu s scad pn la 4,0
bar.
Pentru msurarea continu a concentraiei oxigenului, pe fiecare mixer se prevd cte
dou analizoare de oxigen.
Dac, concentraia oxigenului la ieire, msurat cu fiecare analizor, scade sub 20-22%, vana
electromagnetic se nchide iar mixerul este scos din funciune automat.
Fiecare linie de amestec este prevzut cu rezervor tampon pentru compensarea
variaiilor de debit.
Sistemul de aer medical reconstituit nu trebuie s fie folosit pentru ventilarea /
climatizarea spaiilor interioare.

4.8 STAII PENTRU AER COMPRIMAT MEDICAL/

OPERAIONAL
n cadrul unitilor spitaliceti, aerul comprimat se utilizeaz la presiuni diferite, n scopuri
medicale, ca stimulator sau vector pentru administrarea diferitelor medicamente i n scopuri
operaionale, pentru acionarea diferitelor instrumente/echipamente.
Aerul medicinal comprimat se poate obine prin amestecul azotului cu oxigenul gazos de
la sursele de lichid criogenic, conform procedeului prezentat anterior (aer sintetic), sau prin tratarea
i comprimarea aerului ambiental.
Utilizat n scop respirabil comport debite reduse, obinuit mai puin de 80 litri/min la
presiune de 4 bar, furnizate n mod continuu. Aceiai situaie rezult i n cazul funcionrii
simultane a unui numr mare de uniti terminale.
Folosit ca aer comprimat operaional, consumul necesit debite mari -peste 350 litri/minla presiune ridicat - 7 bar -, dar pentru perioade reduse de timp, obinuit n limita a 5 minute.
n funcie de consumurile relative, aerul comprimat medicinal i cel operaional pot fi
obinute din aceiai staie de compresoare sau din surse distincte.
Pentru producerea aerului comprimat se recomand utilizarea de agregate speciale, pentru uz
spitalicesc, de construcie robust, cu funcionare n dou trepte, avnd randament ridicat i
realiznd o presiune de pn la 8 bar, care permite meninerea unei rezerve mai mari de aer n staie
i favorizeaz controlul centralizat al presiunii n sistem - foto 4.6.
Foto. 4.6 Sistem compact de comprimare pentru utilizri medicale

O atenie deosebit trebuie acordat filtrelor pentru purificarea aerului de materii n
suspensii, de picturi i vapori de ap i ulei, precum i filtre bacteriologice. Pentru amortizarea
zgomotelor sunt necesare unele msuri speciale precum: fundaii separate pentru agregate, montare
elastic a compresoarelor, amortizoare suplimentare pentru zgomotul de absorbie i legturi
flexibile la conductele instalaiei.
n timpul comprimrii, odat cu presiunea, crete i temperatura aerului i pentru a fi rcit
pn la temperatura de lucru se folosete un schimbtor de cldur de tip recuperativ, agentul de
rcire fiind apa, care la rndul ei este rcit cu ajutorul unei instalaii frigorifice.
42
Pentru recuperarea uleiului antrenat de aer din carterul compresorului n timpul comprimrii,
pe conducta de refulare, la ieirea din compresor, se monteaz un separator de ulei. Uleiul recuperat
este reintrodus n compresor printr-un circuit separat prevzut cu o pomp de ulei.
Compresoarele sunt prevzute cu manometre cu contacte electrice care comand decuplarea
motoarelor electrice de antrenare la atingerea presiunilor maxime.
Pentru protecia instalaiei contra suprapresiunilor accidentale se prevd ventile i supape de
siguran. Din rezervoarele tampon, aerul comprimat este distribuit n instalaia de utilizare, att la
presiunea de regim ct i la diverse presiuni de utilizare, dup ce n prealabil a fost trecut prin
panouri de reglare.
Instalaiile de aer comprimat medical trebuie s respecte prescripiile tehnice pentru
proiectarea, execuia, utilizarea i verificarea recipientelor butelii pentru gaze comprimate,
lichefiate sau dizolvate, C 5-84, i Normele de protecie a muncii n sectorul sanitar.
n figurile 4.11-4.14, sunt prezentate diferite scheme de organizare a staiilor de
compresoare.

n funcie de mrimea spitalului i cerinele specifice, pot fi adoptate i alte soluii pentru
realizarea staiilor de compresoare:
-dou sau trei staii separate, fiecare deservind zone distincte ale spitalului;
-considernd staia de aer comprimat operaional ca staie de rezerv pentru staia de aer
medicinal/respirabil;
-cu aer sintetic, asigurnd debitele necesare pentru alimentarea cu aer a compresoarelor,
precum i pentru rcirea acestora i a postrcitoarelor.
4.8.1 PRIZA DE AER
Poziia prizei este determinat pentru calitatea aerului aspirat, n particular pentru
concentraia de monoxid de carbon. Amplasarea acesteia se va face la minimum 5,00 m fa de sol
i la distan de punctele de evacuare a gazelor de ardere, a sisemelor de ventilare, a gurilor de
descrcare a aerului vacuumat sau a gazelor reziduale de narcoz.
Pentru realizarea conductelor de aspiraie se utilizeaz materiale rezistente la coroziune i la
aciunea agenilor chimici, recomandabil oelul inoxidabil. Amonte de compresoare aerul trebuie
prefiltrat, utiliznd filtre conform standardului ISO - 5011.
4.8.2 COMPRESOARE
Exist diferite tipuri disponibile de compresoare pentru uz medical, dintre care se
menioneaz: compresoarele cu piston, cu una sau dou trepte de compresie, compresoare cu
palete rotative i compresoare cu urub. (foto 4.7)
45
Foto. 4.7. Tipuri de compresoare medicale:
Compresor cu piston
Compresor rotativ-scroll
Pentru sistemele care necesit presiuni pn la 400 kPa, sunt folosite n mod curent
compresoare cu piston ntr-o treapt.
Principalul criteriu de alegere este eficiena energetic, motiv pentru care se recomand
antrenarea cu motoare cu turaie variabila.
Eficiena energetic a staiei de compresoare se exprim prin volumul specific de aer
furnizat n reeaua de distribuie, la debitul de calcul raportat la consumul de energie n kWh,
cu valoarea minim acceptabil de 5mc/kWh.
Consumul de energie la funcionare n gol, trebuie s se ncadreze n limita de 1% din
consumul nregistrat la debitul de calcul.
Staiile de compresoare trebuie s fie echipate cu cel puin dou compresoare cu
capacitate nominal i unul de rezerv - Compresoarele individuale se monteaz astfel nct s
poat alimenta sistemul simultan, dac este necesar (foto 4.8).
Pentru rcirea aerului refulat n reea, la toate tipurile de compresoare trebuie montate subrcitoare.
Foto. 4.8
46
4.8.3 REZERVOARE TAMPON

Au rolul de a atenua pulsaia volumelor de aer injectate n reea.
Capacitatea minim a acestora trebuie s fie egal cu 50% din volumul de aer furnizat de
compresor ntr-un minut. Pentru sistemele cu debit mai mare de 500 litri/minut, se prevd dou
uniti. n toate situaiile, fiecare rezervor tampon se monteaz cu posibiliti de by-passare i de
conectare manual n caz de necesitate, a sursei teriare constituit din butelii cu aer comprimat.
4.8.4 TRATAREA I FILTRAREA AERULUI
Se impune pentru eliminarea din aerul distribuit a impuritilor provenite din aerul
atmosferic, din compresoare i din sistemul de conducte, respectiv:
- particule solide, peste 80% cu dimensiuni pn la 0,2 microni; vapori de ap ntre 2,5 i 40 mg/mc
i ulei sub form de picturi, vapori sau aerosoli.
Echipamentele utilizate pentru eliminarea acestor impuriti se compun din
dezumidificatoare - gravitaionale i cu substane sicative, prefiltre i diferite tipuri de filtre
- de coalescen, de adsorbie, bacteriene, sau alte tipuri n funcie de natura materialelor care trebuie
reinute.
Instalaia de aer comprimat trebuie s fie echipat cu regulatoare de presiune i dispozitive
de siguran, supape cu capacitate de descrcare egal cu debitul instalat, n urmtoarele poziii:
- pe conductele de refulare ale fiecrui compresor, amonte de clapeii de reinere i robineii
de secionare;
- pe rezervoarele tampon i coloanele de uscare/dezumidificare;
- n aval de fiecare regulator de presiune.
Sistemul de monitorizare i control al staiei de compresoare, trebuie s permit msurarea
i nregistrarea presiunilor i a debitelor vehiculate, precum i un nregistrator al orelor de
funcionare.

Mrimea vidului necesar, prezint limite largi de variaie, valorile recomandate diferind de
la ar la ar: englezii prescriu n camera bolnavilor 0,01 at, germanii 0,2 at la slile de operaii i
0,09 at la prize cu sarcini de lung durat, iar americanii nu precizeaz mrimea vidului necesar, ci
impun ca o priz de vid s absoarb 1 l de ap n 13 s.
Se poate considera c un vid de maximum 0,04 at este suficient.
Cderile de presiune admise n reeaua de vid sunt: 0,08 - 0,1 at dup normele americane,
0,001 at dup normele germane, 0,04 at dup normele italiene i 0,0006 at dup normele engleze.

independent i by-pass.
Amplasarea echipamentelor trebuie s asigure spaiile necesare pentru exploatare i intervenii
n caz de necesitate.
Staia trebuie s aib posibiliti de asigurare a aerului necesar pentru rcirea pompelor.
49
Prin excepie, pentru instalaiile de aer aspirat se pot utiliza pe lng evile din cupru i evi din
PVC, care se testeaz la presiunea de 150 kPa. Conductele de evacuare se prevd cu robinet de purjare
i cu recipient colector transparent, amplasat la cota minim.
Punctul de evacuare n exterior se poziioneaz la distane corespunztoare de protecie fa de
ferestre i de prizele de aer proaspt (minim 7,5 m, respectiv 6,0 m deasupra terenului) i se protejeaz
mpotriva aciunii directe a vntului i a intruziunii din exterior.
4.9.1 POMPE DE VID
Se pot utiliza orice tip de pompe pentru vid medical, toate cu caracteristici identice. Pentru
adaptarea continu la cerinele sistemului se recomand antrenarea cu motoare cu turaie variabil.
Pe aspiraia i refularea pompelor, precum i pe conducta comun de evacuare se prevd clapei de
reinere. Fiecare pomp va fi prevzut cu atenuator de zgomot.
4.9.2 REZERVOARE TAMPON DE ASPIRAIE
Se utilizeaz rezervoare din oel inoxidabil, cu capacitatea n ap egal cu debitul de calcul la
presiunea de 450 mmHg/60 kPa, corespunzator aspiraiei libere timp de 1 minut, cnd pompele lucreaz
la 475 mmHg/63 kPa.

4.10 SISTEME PENTRU ELIMINAREA GAZELOR ANESTEZICE

REZIDUALE
Sistemul are rolul de preluare i evacuare n atmosfer a gazelor expirate de pacienii aflai sub
anestezie general. Principial, instalaiile funcioneaz prin vacuumare i exhaustare.
n practica medical internaional au fost aplicate diferite soluii tehnice active/pasive, dup cum
urmeaz:
- utilizarea dual a vacuumului medical i pentru evacuarea gazelor reziduale;
- utilizarea ejectoarelor tip Venturi, cu agent primar un gaz medical, altul dect aerul comprimat;
- realizarea unei instalaii distincte de vacuumare folosind pompe de vid ;
- utilizarea unei instalaii distincte de vid redus, echipat cu suflante/ventilatoare;
- eliminarea pasiv, prin asigurarea schimburilor de aer necesare diluiei, de ctre instalaiile
de ventilare/condiionare.
Conform standardului EN-ISO 7396-2, evacuarea gazelor anestezice reziduale, trebuie efectuat printrun sistem distinct, activat de o pomp/surs de vid de debit mare - 50-80 litri/minut.
Evacuarea aerului se face printr-o reea de conducte, la care sunt racordate prizele fixe i prin
intermediul racordurilor flexibile, ventilatoarele pacienilor.
Conductele fixe se execut cu evi din cupru sau din PVC, dimensionate corespunztor urmtorilor

Sistemul trebuie s asigure condiiile normale de funcionare a dispozitivelor/aparatelor de

ventilare, corespunztor unor debite induse foarte mici - 0,05 pn la 0,5 litri/minut - i evitnd creterea
sau reducerea excesiv a presiunii n circuitul respirator.
Componentele sistemului fiind n contact direct cu aerul expirat de pacieni, sunt potenial
contaminate bacteriologic, motiv pentru care trebuie s fie rezistente la aciunea agenilor de curire i
dezinfecie.
Pentru protecia personalului medical i a bolnavilor, se impune dotarea tuturor modulelor operatorii sli de anestezie i de operaii cu sisteme de evacuare a gazelor reziduale.
Dei se recomand montarea cte unui terminal att n sala de anestezie ct i n sala de operaii,
probabilitatea funcionrii simultane a acestora este redus.
Numrul pompelor active n sistem se determin innd seama de numrul de sli de operaii din blocul
operator, simultaneitatea utilizrii acestora, planul funcional al departamentului i posibilitile de
montare a conductelor.
ntruct o singur pomp nu poate asigura continuitatea funcional n situaii accidentale de
avarii, este indicat s se utilizeze pompe duplex,
recomandabil cu turaie variabil foto 4.10.
Evacuarea gazelor din sistem se face n mediul exterior, de
preferin la nivelul acoperiului i la distan de ferestre/goluri
i de orice priz de aer proaspt.
Pentru mrirea gradului de siguran, sistemele de captare
i evacuare a gazelor anestezice reziduale pot fi asociate cu
soluia pasiv de diluare a concentraiei gazelor din spaiul
protejat, prin asigurarea numrului de schimburi de aer,
corespunztor normelor de protecie impuse.

Pentru realizarea nivelului de asigurare impus de importana funcional a sistemelor de fluide

medicale, cderea admisibil de presiune ntre surse i unitile terminale se limiteaz la 5% din
valoarea presiunii de ieire din staii.
n conductele de vacuum, pierderea total de presiune trebuie s fie de maximum 50 mmHg.
Aceste condiii nu includ pierderea local de sarcin prin receptor i trebuie satisfcute la
testarea fiecrei prize funcionnd la debitul nominal.
Din considerente de securitate, abaterile de la valori prestabilite ale presiunilor, att la surse ct
i la receptori, sunt semnalate de sistemele locale i centralizate de monitorizare i alarmare.
n tabelul 5.8 sunt prezentate sintetic valorile presiunilor de lucru pentru diferitele sisteme de
distribuie.

DETERMINAREA CAPACITII
STOCURILOR DE GAZE
6.1 ALEGEREA SOLUIEI DE ALIMENTARE
Profilul sursei trebuie adoptat n funcie de:
- debitul mediu zilnic de gaz, stabilit pe baza consumului efectuat n 12 luni;
- debitul maxim zilnic(* corespunztor zilei de maxim consum
- creterea previzionat a cerinei de gaz
- sporul anual al consumului de gaz pentru folosine medicale.
*) debitul/consumul maxim zilnic se determin pe baza vrfului de consum nregistrat n
intervalul orar 800-1800 cu toate slile de operaii i aparatur medical n funciune.
Pentru spitalele noi la care nu exist informaii istorice, necesarul de gaz se asimileaz
consumului din unitile spitaliceti existente, cu profile i capaciti similare.
n funcie de volumul cerinei, gazele medicinale n general i oxigenul n mod special, sunt
aprovizionate n funcie de cantitile necesare, mbuteliat sau n vrac i stocate n
rezervoare/recipieni sau sub form gazoas, n butelii.
6.2 DEFINIREA STOCURILOR

Capacitatea de stocare se calculeaz, de la caz la caz, n funcie de riscul potenial de neasigurare
n mod continuu a cerinelor unitii spitaliceti.
Independent de soluia constructiv adoptat, n cadrul volumului total de acumulare se
individualizeaz stocul operaional i stocul de rezerv, repartizate ntre sursa primar i respectiv
cea secundar:
stocul operaional, reprezint volumul de gaz folosit pentru asigurarea cerinelor normale ale
spitalului i se reface periodic dup epuizare; consumul stocului este semnalizat.
stocul de rezerv, reprezint volumul necesar pentru acoperirea cerinelor fluctuante sau pentru
situaiile n care furnizorul nu face fa ritmului de alimentare stabilit.
-
Cele dou volume trebuie repartizate la ambele surse, primar i de rezerv.

Cnd nu este posibil ca stocul operaional s fie asigurat integral din sursa primar , acesta poate
fi completat din stocul prevzut n sursa secundar.
6.3 CALCULUL STOCURILOR OPERAIONAL/DE REZERV
Volumul necesar pentru acumularea stocului operaional -Vstoc op.-se determin innd
seama de:
Cerina medie zilnic de oxigen medical, rezultat prin raportarea consumului anual
la 365 de zile, la care se adaug o cretere natural previzionat (kn), de ordinul a
810% i o eventual extindere programat (kp):
= 365
[litri/zi]
(41)
Frecvena furnizrii exprimat prin numrul de zile ntre dou livrri, n funcie de
distana fa de furnizor:
Distan [km] <75 75 - 150 150 - 300 >300
Z (zile)
respectiv:
Vstoc op. = Qmzi x Z
[litri]
(42)
Volumul necesar pentru acumularea stocului de rezerv -Vstoc rez.- se determin

corespunztor cerinelor pentru consum pe durata riscului evaluat n funcie de:
- distana de transport
- timpul necesar de rspuns pentru aprovizionare
- frecvena situaiilor n care sursa primar poate deveni nefuncional
n cazul n care sursa secundar este prevzut cu butelii de gaz comprimat, numrul buteliilor
racordate la distribuitor i a celor stocate/depozitate local, se stabilete n funcie de:
cerina maxim pentru alimentarea zonei de nalt dependen, racordat direct la sursa
secundar/de rezerv.
durata perioadelor de indisponibilitate a surselor
distana spitalului fa de furnizorul de butelii
abilitatea schimbrii buteliilor pe colector
n funcie de consumul anual de oxigen, se recomand adoptarea urmtoarelor soluii pentru
asigurarea rezervei necesare:
- Pentru uniti, cu consum anual de oxigen sub 3000 se folosesc sisteme alimentate
din butelii cu gaz comprimat.
- Pentru uniti cu consum ntre 3000 40000 se recomand sistemul cu recipieni
cu oxigen medicinal lichid, care poate fi cuplat i cu butelii.
- Pentru capaciti ntre 27500 40000 se poate adopta fie sistemul cu recipieni cu
gaz lichid, fie sistemul cu rezervoare criogenice.
n funcie de eventualele restricii de aprovizionare; sistemul criogenic se folosete n mod
normal cnd cerina este prea mare pentru a putea fi satisfcut n soluia cu recipieni cu gaz lichid.

6.4 DIMENSIONAREA RAMPELOR DE ALIMENTARE CU

BUTELII DE GAZE COMPRIMATE
Sursele de alimentare din butelii cu gaze comprimate se organizeaz cu dou rampe cu numr
egal de butelii, fiecare, fiind dimensionat la capacitatea de calcul.
Volumul total al unei rampe, se determin cu relaia:

pentru diferite gaze medicale n raport cu tipul gazului, consumul lunar sau numrul de module
operaionale deservite (conform tabel. 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5).
Capacitatea buteliilor prevzute pe fiecare ramp a staiilor de oxigen, trebuie s satisfac
necesarul pentru dou zile.
n rezerv se prevede un numr de butelii egal cu numrul aferent unei rampe, pentru oxigen,

Gem 10
TERMINAL UNIT
In an effort to continuously improve our products,

the right is reserved to change the specification of the
items described herein at any time. Please contact us
for further information and up to date specifications.
SPECIFICATION
Gem 10 Terminal Unit
The medical gas terminal units shall conform to BS EN ISO 91701:2008

and accept probes to BS5682: 1998. Terminal units shall be capable
of single-handed insertion and removal of the medical gas probe.
The anaesthetic gas scavenging (AGS) terminal unit shall conform to
BS6834: 1987. The wall mounted first fix assembly shall consist of brass
pipeline termination block with copper stub pipe secured between a
back plate and a gas specific plate to allow limited radial movement of
the copper stub to align with the pipeline. The gas specific plate shall
be fixed to the backplate by means of a tamperproof clip-fit mechanism.
The first fix shall incorporate a maintenance valve (except for vacuum)
and a test plug. The test plug shall provide an effective blank to enable
carcass pressure testing. The second fix plastic components shall be
manufactured with the pin index permanently moulded into the gas
specific socket. The socket assembly shall retain a capsule assembly,
containing the check valve and probe O ring seals. The replaceable
capsule assembly shall enable all working parts subject to wear through
usage to be replaced as a factory tested assembly, thereby reducing
maintenance time. Each termination block assembly shall be pressure
tested by the pressure decay method.
Gas Specificity
Terminal units shall be gas specific and only accept the correct medical
gas probe. Gas specific components shall be pin-indexed to ensure that
a correct gas specific assembly is achieved so that in normal course of
dismantling for repair or maintenance, parts from other gases cannot
inadvertently be used. Wall mounted terminal units shall incorporate
an anti-rotation pin to engage with connected downstream medical
equipment ensuring correct orientation.
Materials
Pipeline Connections
Terminal units installed in walls, bedhead trunking, headwalls or fixed

pendants shall be connected to the pipeline with a copper stub pipe.
Pressure gases and vacuum shall incorporate a 12mm copper stub pipe
with a swaged end for direct connection to a 12mm O/D copper tube
without the need for en extra fitting, thereby requiring only a single
brazed joint to be made. Terminal units for anaesthetic gas scavenging
shall incorporate a 15mm O/D copper stub pipe.
Terminal units installed in booms or moveable pendants shall be
attached to their respective flexible gas hose by a gas specific noninterchangeable screw thread (NIST) fitting to BS EN 739:1998. Terminal
units shall be fitted with a male NIST and nut for connection to hoses
with a female NIST connection.
Performance
Pressure drops across the terminal unit shall comply with clause 4.4.11
of BS EN ISO 9170-1:2008. The flow/pressure drop characteristics for the
Gem 10 are shown below with the maximum allowable value.

stubs pipes shall be manufactured from phosphorous de-oxidised nonarsenical copper to BS EN 1412:1996 grade CW024A, manufactured to
metric outside diameters in accordance with BS EN 13348:2001 R250
(half hard). All elastomeric seals shall be manufactured from Viton with
a Shore hardness of 75.
* Absolute pressure
Antimicrobial Additive
The terminal units shall have a three-year warranty, subject to the

recommended minimum routine maintenance operations being carried
out by correctly competent persons.
All user accessible parts, 2nd fix, gas ID ring, plaster box, fascia cover
and inks shall include a silver antimicrobial additive for inherent
antimicrobial protection.

Medical Gas Terminal Units to Standards

ENV 737-6 & BS EN ISO 9170-1:2008
SPECIFICATION
Medical Gas Terminal Units
Medical terminal units are located at the final delivery points
in medical gas piping systems to provide quick connection to
the system. Terminal units provide for single handed insertion
and removal of the medical gas probe.
Terminal units are a Class IIb medical device with the CE
mark, built to comply with European Directive 93/42/EC
governing medical devices to ensure non-interchangeability
among different gasses. Terminal units conform to gas
specific dimensions and connection requirements stated in
ENV 737-6. Components are designed and manufactured in
accordance with BS EN ISO 9170-1:2008 for medical gas
distribution systems.
Medical gas terminal units consist of two parts:
Base Blocks the wall mounted base block consists of a
brass pipeline termination block with copper stub pipe for
connection to the gas pipeline distribution system.
Sockets provide the gas specific connection point for the
terminal unit. The socket is fixed to the base block with a
design that insures profile is always in the correct position.
Probes are gas specific connectors that couple to the medical
gas terminal unit sockets to provide access to gas systems. For
additional information on probes, refer to Specification Sheet
# SSB-845-07.
Gas Specificity
Medical gas terminal units are gas specific and designed for
conformance to dimensional and connection requirements
found in ENV 737-6.
Materials
Base Blocks and sockets are constructed of Brass. Sockets are
nickel plated.
Pipeline Connections
Medical gas outlets installed in walls, bedhead trunking,
headwalls or fixed pendants are connected to the pipeline with
a copper stub pipe. Pressure gases and vacuum incorporate a
10 mm O/D copper tube without the need for an extra fitting,
thereby requiring only a single brazed joint to be made.
Outlets installed in booms or moveable pendants are attached
to their respective flexile gas hose by a gas specific noninterchangeable screw thread (NIST) fitting. Terminal units
are fitted with a male NIST and nut for connection to hoses
with a female NIST connection.
Performance
Pressure drops across the terminal unit comply with clause 6.3
of BS EN ISO 9170-1:2008. The flow/pressure drop
characteristics for the outlets are shown below with the
maximum allowable value from BS EN ISO 9170-1:2008.

Coronus and Atlas Ceiling Pendant Systems

SPECIFICATION
Pendant Systems
The pendant system shall provide a safe, robust and ergonomic medical
workplace solution. The pendants shall be designed to comply with
HTM2022, HTM02-01, NFPA 99, BS EN 60601-1 and ISO 11197.
It shall be possible to replace all medical gas hoses without the need for
on site crimping of ferrules. All medical gas hose shall be manufactured
to BS EN ISO 5359, with NIST connectors manufactured to BS EN
15908. Non-colour coded hoses or hoses without permanently crimped
connections are not acceptable.
Bearings
High quality bearings shall be used to provide smooth and free

movement, minimising the force required to overcome static friction
forces during repositioning. Bearings shall be permanently lubricated
and sealed, with no maintenance or replacement necessary. Atlas
pendant arm and bearing designed shall have been type tested to
40,000 revolutions under full load conditions at a safety factor of 4 to
ensure the design is appropriate for the intended purpose.
Pendant Arms
Pendant arms other than the Coronus cantilever lift arm shall be
manufactured from extruded aluminium sections and be available in
various lengths. External surfaces of all arms shall be polyester powder
coated in a RAL 9002 finish. Arm end caps shall be manufactured from
moulded polyflam with a UL listed fire retardancy of UL94/VO. Tandem
pendants for critical care areas shall be designed so that the consoles
can readily swap sides within the bed bay to maximise the flexibility of
the workspace.
Cantilever lift arms shall be driven by a single phase AC induction motor
with power transmitted to the cantilever mechanism by a ball screw.
Linear actuators shall not be used in the vertical lift mechanism for the
pendant console. When tested to BS EN ISO 3744, the sound pressure
level produced by the cantilever vertical lift mechanism shall not exceed
30db(A).
Rotational Control
The pendant shall be provided with active pneumatic brakes at

each rotating arm joint (Atlas Lateral and canti-lever arms) and
electromagnetic brakes for Coronus Lateral type arm. Articulated
pendants (double arms) shall have independently controlled brakes to
enable individual control of arm movement.
PENDANT SYSTEMS

Atlas arm joints shall be capable of 3300 of rotation, with consoles able
to rotate up to 3400 . The Coronus range of arms shall be capable of
3400 of rotation. Infinitely variable rotational stops shall enable precise
of limits travel to be set to ensure maximum freedom of movement,
whilst protecting walls and ancillary equipment. The rotational stops
shall be dampened such that when limit of travel is reached, sensitive
suspended equipment is not subjected to shock or vibration as the
kinetic energy is absorbed.
Consoles
Consoles shall be manufactured from extruded hard-anodised

aluminium sections, with polyester powder coated (RAL 9002)
aluminium fascia plates. Consoles shall be configured using 200mm
sectional compartments in order to provide efficient space usage and
shall house auxiliary sockets and other electrical accessories.
Multi-function racks shall be stainless steel and shall be permanently
fastened to the console. Racks shall be provided in varying lengths and
configured along with the console suitable for the intended application
and accessories included. Racks shall hold equipment such as shelves,
drawers, infusion holding devices, monitor arms, keyboard trays, etc.
A docking facility shall be available to facilitate docking of ventilator
trolleys or anaesthesia workstations. An electric lifting mechanism shall
be available to enable lifting of anaesthesia workstations(1) off the floor,
enabling easier cleaning in operating theatres and removing trailing
cables and hoses from the floor. The lifting mechanism shall have a
capacity of 280kg and lift up to 500mm from the floor level at a velocity
of 9.5mm/s. When tested to BS EN ISO 3744, the sound pressure level
produced by the lifting mechanism shall not be exceed 30 db(A).
CE Marking
Pendant Systems are CE marked under the Medical Devices Directive

93/42/EEC with approval from notified body no. 0297. Under this
directive, the specified products are classified as Class IIa Medical
Devices.
(1) Not all anaesthesia workstations are suitable for lifting. Please contact our
design support department to discuss your particular application.
The pendant console brake shall be operated from the same pneumatic
control switch as the lower arm joint where articulated (double) arms
are fitted. Pendants with cantilever vertical lift shall not be fitted with
pneumatic brakes in the joint connecting to the console.
Visual indicators shall be included on the ceiling arm joint (green) and
the intermediate arm joint (blue). A corresponding button mounted on
the equipment shelf shall be included giving a clear indication as to
which brake button controls which arm bearing, in order to give the
user better control.
Non-return valves shall be fitted downstream of the connection to the
medical/surgical air pipeline to prevent back-flow in the event of low
distribution system pressure.

MCS2 Manifold Control System

SPECIFICATION
MCS2 Manifold Control System
The manifold control system shall conform to NHS Health Technical

Memorandum Nos. 2022 (HTM2022) and 02-01 (HTM02-01). The
manifold control system shall provide an uninterrupted supply of a
specific medical gas from equally sized high pressure cylinder banks
via a suitable arrangement of pressure regulators, providing a constant
downstream nominal pipeline gauge pressure of 400 kPa, 700 kPa or
1100 kPa. The entire system shall be duplexed such that any single
functional component failure will not affect the integrity of the
medical gas supply. The manifold shall be supplied fully assembled
and tested.
Manifold Control System Design
There shall be two separate stages of regulation to enable high peak

flow rates without a reduction in line pressure. Multistage regulators
combined into a single unit are not acceptable. Regulators shall
comply with BS EN ISO 10524-2 and shall have documented test
reports available confirming successful completion of the oxygen
ignition tests stated therein. The manifold control system shall
capable of supplying a flow of 1000 l/min to a 400 kPa distribution
system and a flow of 2000 l/min to a 700 kPa distribution system.
All regulators shall be protected from over-pressurisation by relief
valves that are vented to atmosphere. There shall be a bypass valve
fitted across the to the 2nd stage relief valve to enable gas to be
vented outside the manifold room during the commissioning stage.
A test point (supplied separately) shall be isolated from the supply
with a 15mm ball valve. The manifold shall be supplied with a with a
non-return valve for connection to the distribution system.
The Control Panel shall be housed in a single panel having a solid
construction using epoxy technology in a glass-reinforced polymer
moulding for high chemical and corrosion resistance and high impact
strength. The cover shall hinge upwards but shall remain facing
outward for manual operation and maintenance accessibility. To aid
maintenance the connections within the panel shall be use O rings
sealing against flat-face connectors to facilitate easy removal and
replacement of components.
For added safety the voltage inside the panel shall not exceed 12V
D.C. The mains supply transformer shall be in its own housing in a
moulded recess at the rear of the panel. To simplify installation there
shall be an installation bracket attached to the wall with four screws,
the main panel then shall locate on to this bracket and be secured.

MCS2 MANIFOLD
CONTROL SYSTEM

There shall be a fail safe system in the event of power failure so that
solenoid valves open and there is full continuity of supply pressure and
flow. Upon power restoration the unit shall revert back to the original
bank of cylinders being used. To avoid inadvertent resetting of the
change cylinder alarm the solenoid valves shall be latched so that once
changeover has occurred and the cylinders have been replaced, a reset
button must be operated to cancel the alarm condition.
There shall be manual changeover buttons so that servicing either side
of the system can be simply achieved. The PCBs shall be linked with
plug and socket connectors for easy removal.
Materials
All polymers and elastomers in the gas flow that can be subjected to
working pressure greater than 3000 kPa shall be halogen-free. The
use of PTFE, PCTFE, Viton and other halogenated polymers in these
applications is strictly prohibited. Non-return valves fitted to header
manifolds shall have a metallic seat with ceramic ball. Soft seat
non-return valves utilising polymers or elastomers are not acceptable.
Modular Header Manifolds
Modular header manifolds shall provide connection points for flexible

cupronickel tailpipes. They shall be available in primary and
secondary configurations, with either single or double cylinder
connection points. Primary headers shall connect directly to the
manifold control system with extensions for additional cylinders being
provided by the addition of secondary headers. Non-return valves
shall be fitted to each tailpipe connection point to protect the system
in the event of a tailpipe fracture.
Corner connectors shall be available to enable installation of manifold
headers around corners of the manifold room. A custom length corner
connector shall also be available to enable header manifolds to be
installed in a U configuration across 3 adjacent walls of a manifold
room.
CE Marking
The standard range of BeaconMeds MCS2 manifold control systems

are CE marked under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC with
approval from notified body no. 0088 (Lloyds Register Quality
Assurance). Under this directive, the specified products are classified as
Control System Operation
Either the left or right hand manifold bank may be designated Duty
and the MCS2 shall automatically changeover to supply the
distribution system from the Standby bank when pressure in the
Duty bank falls to a pre-determined level. Each side of the MCS2
shall be capable of being fully isolated via a full flow ball valve in
order to change any regulator without cessation of supply. The inlet of
the 1st stage regulator shall be protected from the particulate matter
by a 25m sintered bronze filter.

TotalAlert2 Retrofit
Medical Electronic Gas Area Alarm
SPECIFICATION
Medical Electronic Gas Alarm
The TotalAlert 2 Retrofit Area Alarm provides area alarm
signals as required by the latest edition of NFPA 99. The alarm
is ETL listed to UL 1069 and CSA C22.2 NO 601.1-M90. The
TotalAlert 2 Retrofit Area Alarm complies with the following
electromagnetic compatibility standards: FCC Part 15 Class
A, ICES 003 Class A, and EN 60601-1-2. All field wiring
and signals are self-monitoring and on a closed circuit. Fault
signals activate on an open circuit.
Input power to the alarm panel is 100 to 250 VAC 50/60 Hz,
double fused on the input side rated at 1 Amp, time-delayed.
An internal power supply converts the input voltage to low
voltage. All user accessible electronics and wiring utilize low
voltage. A guard must be removed to access the high voltage
wiring after installation.
Alarm Panel
TotalAlert 2 Retrofit Area Alarm front panels feature a green
POWER ON indicator that illuminates when the alarm panel
is powered and operating normally. A red flashing alarm
system fault indicator is illuminated if a power supply or
microprocessor problem is detected. Each monitored condition
has a separate red flashing indicator illuminated when in
alarm. A red indicator on the alarm mute button is illuminated
after any audible alarm has been silenced. The visual signal
automatically cancels when the fault is corrected.
Each panel provides an audible signal that is activated by a
monitored signal in fault condition. The audible signal produces
a minimum sound pressure level of 80 dBA measured at a
distance of 3 ft (1m). The front panel alarm mute button can
silence the audio. Audible alarm mute duration is adjustable.
Each panel contains a general fault relay that activates on any
alarm panel fault condition and an auxiliary relay that activates
when the alarm is sounding.
Pressing and holding the front panel TEST button initiates a
self-test function to test the LED indicators, visual displays,
audible alarm, and to view alarm set points.
Two alarm panel sizes support either four or eight alarm
modules, consisting of any combination of digital display
modules, multi-signal modules, or blank modules.
Digital Display Module
The digital LED display continuously indicates the actual
pressure or vacuum in the piping system being monitored.
The brightness of the LED display is adjustable to compensate
for ambient lighting. The display is programmable to read
psig, in Hg, mm Hg, or kPa.
The digital display module provides an audible and visual
signal when a fault condition occurs. Separate visual signals
for system pressure or vacuum are NORMAL (green LED),
LOW (red LED), and HIGH (red LED). Signal limits are
factory set per NFPA 99 and field programmable.
Each digital display module is equipped with separate relays

for high and low alarms. Relays are single-pole double-throw
type (30 VAC/VDC 2A max). Digital readings from one
display module can be monitored by another digital display
module at a remote panel.
Multi-Signal Alarm Module
The multi-signal alarm module is capable of monitoring up
to five normally closed dry-contact switch signals. Each
signal illuminates a green LED to indicate that conditions are
normal. When a fault occurs, the green LED turns off and
a red LED illuminates, and the audible alarm sounds. The
red LED flashes until the front panel alarm mute button is
pressed. After the alarm mute button is pressed, the red LED
remains illuminated but does not flash. The red indicator
automatically turns off and the green LED illuminates when
the fault is corrected.
As an option, the multi-signal module may be supplied with
five, dry-contact, normally closed relays for connection to a
building automation system. Relay ratings are 30 VAC/VDC
2A max.
Blank Module
A blank overlay is used to fill unused alarm panel locations
or reserve a module location for future expansion. The blank
overlay may be removed and replaced by a digital display
module or multi-signal module style at any time.
Built-in Web Pages
Each TotalAlert 2 Retrofit Area Alarm features an embedded
web server with web pages to view and set up the alarm.
Built-in web pages require no additional setup. Network
communication implementation provides browse, download,
configure, and troubleshooting of Area Alarms with a personal
computer that is connected to the facilitys Ethernet.
All panels contain an event log that captures all alarms and
events and saves the information at the panel. The event
log can be downloaded to a computer file for tracking data,
reporting and troubleshooting.
Connectivity
Each panel includes a 10Base-T Ethernet Jack and Ethernet
LINK, TX, and RX indicators. The Ethernet connection
provides interfacing capability to the facilitys Intranet. If
connected to the Ethernet, upon activation of an alarm, the
Area Alarm Modules send the location, alarm status, and
pressure or vacuum readings to the Master Alarm where they
are displayed and stored in an event log. All of the Area
Alarm readings and statistics can be browsed using a personal
computer logged onto the facilitys Ethernet.

data and system performance. Data collected from all pumps shall be
made available in real-time visualisation pages and shall be accessed
through the hospitals LAN, such that total data security is assured.
The Airconnect monitoring system shall also include :-
Compressors shall be Atlas Copco GA-MED oil injected rotary screw

compressors suitable for both continuous and frequent start/stop
operation at a nominal outlet pressure of 750 kPa (7.5 bar), 950 kPa (9.5
bar) or 13000 kPa (13 bar) gauge. Compressors shall be supplied with
a block and fin style after cooler with a dedicated quiet running fan to
maximise cooling and efficiency. A multistage oil separator capable of
achieving 2ppm oil carry over shall be fitted to minimise contamination
and maintenance. EFF1 (CEMEP) rated TEFC, IP55 class F electric motors
shall be used and incorporate maintenance-free greased for life bearings.
Motors with lower efficiency ratings are not acceptable.
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) shall be available on compressor(s). By

including an AC-DC converter, along with associated control hardware
and software it will enable the compressor to match its running speed
on a 1:1 ratio with the flow demand required by hospital. By using
such technology energy of savings of up to 35% shall be achievable as
well as prolonged machine life. Start currents will be reduced and the
motor will run from 0-100% speed increasing or decreasing its speed as
necessary to continuously match the required demand. The compressor
shall operate from 400-1300kPa (4-13 bar) gauge.
Full VSD air plant shall incorporate VSD controllers on all compressors,
cycling the lead compressor to ensure even wear as per HTM02-01
requirements.
Mixed VSD air plant shall incorporate a VSD controller on the lead
compressor and the remaining compressors will be fixed speed.
Dryer/Filter/Regulator System
The duplexed filter and dryer module shall incorporate high efficiency
water separators, oil filters, heatless regenerative desiccant dryer,
dust/activated carbon filters, hopcolite filters and bacterial filters with
autoclavable element. Electrical contacts shall be installed on the filters
to provide warning alarms on the dryer controller in the event of high
pressure drop (ie blockage) and shall also include connections for BMS.
Contaminants in the delivered air downstream of the bacterial filters
shall be maintained at levels below those shown in the following table:

Logging and trending for an accurate performance status of the system.

Desktop event notification to avoid constant status checking.
E-mail and SMS event notification for additional convenience.

Dryer Purge Control - Optional
The dryer control system shall incorporate a Purge Saver Energy

Management system that freezes the regeneration of the desiccant once
adequate dew point is reached in the inactive tower. Only when the
dewpoint level in the active tower deteriorates to an unacceptable level
will the intelligent controller switch towers. This shall be achieved by
including an additional dew point sensor and associated software in the
dryer controller to effectively manage the system as well as providing on
screen measurements of purge savings.
Dew Point Monitoring
The dryer shall incorporate a ceramic dew point hygrometer with an

accuracy of 10C in the range -20 to -800C atmospheric dew point and
4-20mA analogue output. Aluminium oxide or palladium wire sensors
are not acceptable. An alarm condition shall trigger on the dryer control
panel if the dew point exceeds a -460C atmospheric set point. The plant
control unit shall incorporate a multifunctional LCD displaying, amongst
other things, the dew point of the delivered air to enable monitoring of
the air quality by the hospitals estates department. Volt free contacts
shall be included to enable the dew point alarm signal to be connected
to a central medical gas alarm system and/or building management
system (BMS). To enable periodic calibration of the dew point sensor
element, the hygrometer shall be remotely connected downstream of
the dryer via a micro-bore tube. It is not acceptable to install the sensor
directly into the medical air supply pipeline.

fitted with a pressure safety valve capable of passing the maximum flow
output of the compressor at 10% receiver overpressure. The receiver
shall be further protected by a safety pressure relief valve and include a
pressure gauge.
Optional Items
There shall be the followings options available for enhanced operation

of the air plant system: Phase sequence relays that prevent unintentional reverse operation of

Note:Inter connecting pipework (blue illustration) between components to
be made on site and provided by the installer. Controller CAN cables
are provided as a 10m assembly with each compressor which can be
shortened on site if required.
Combined Air Plant Sizing Guide
In HTM02-01, the relative size of receiver capacity and compressor

capacity on surgical air or combined medical/surgical air systems
changes according to the design flow rate. In order to correctly calculate
the receiver capacity and compressor capacity, both the medical and
surgical design flow-rates (DFs) are required. It should be noted that
for all combined air systems, an additional duplex regulating station
(ordered separately) is needed to supply the medical air pipeline.

Flow Rate and Dryer Sizing

Medical Air DF = 555 l/min (FAD) (4 Bar)
Surgical Air DF = 1138 l/min (FAD) (7 Bar)
Combined/total DF = 1693 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar high pressure system)
Flow Rate and Dryer Sizing

Medical Air DF = 4920 l/min (FAD) (4 Bar)
Surgical Air DF =2888 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar)
Combined/total DF = 7808 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar high pressure system)
A dryer greater than 1693 l/min outlet flow should be selected

(outlet flow is the inlet flow minus purge losses)
= dMED25 inlet flow 2025 l/min, outlet flow 1755 l/min

Flow Rate and Compressor Sizing
From Table 1 surgical air DF is between 500-3500 l/min, so the
multiplying factor A = 0.66
A dryer greater than 7808 l/min should be selected

(outlet flow is the inlet flow minus purge losses)
= dMED145 inlet flow 11745 l/min, outlet flow 10092 l/min

Flow Rate and Compressor Sizing
multiplying factor A = 0.66
Compressor flow rate

= Med. DF + (Surg. DF x A)

= 555 + (1138 x 0.66)

= 555 + 751
= 1306 l/min
Plant flow rate

We also need to add the purge losses to the compressor output. For
additional purge consumption use:-
We also need to add the purge losses to the compressor output. For
additional purge consumption use:-
dMED inlet - dMED outlet = purge losses lpm

= 2025 - 1755 = 270 l/min
dMED inlet - dMED outlet = purge losses lpm

= 11745 - 10092 = 1653 l/min
Compressors should be selected with a flow rate greater than

1306 l/min + 270 l/min = 1576 l/min
Compressors should be selected with a flow rate greater than

6827 l/min + 1653 l/min = 8480 l/min

Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System

HTM02-01/HTM2022/ISO7396-2
SPECIFICATION
Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System
The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) System shall comply with HTM
02-01, HTM2022 and either EN ISO 7396-2 or BS 6834. The AGS
system shall be a dedicated, specifically designed active extraction
and disposal system for waste anaesthetic gas. It shall provide a
maximum flow rate of 80 l/min (EN ISO 7396-2) or 130 l/min (BS
6834) with a 1 kPa resistance to flow, and a minimum of 50 l/min (EN
ISO 7396-2) or 80 l/min (BS 6834) with a 2 kPa (EN ISO 7396-2) or 4
kPa (BS 6834) resistance to flow at each terminal unit,
irrespective of the number of terminal units in use. The AGS system
shall use dedicated radial blowers in a simplex or duplex
configuration. The AGS pump assemblies shall be skid mounted and
included on the skid shall be the simplex or duplex pump(s), motor
control unit(s) with starter/isolator, moisture drain flask and flexible
connector(s) to connect the plant to the pipeline. Each pump shall
include an electric motor and directly coupled impeller assembly.
Impeller bearings in the pump(s) shall not require lubrication. The
pump(s) shall be air cooled and rated for continuous operation.
Vacuum/Flow Regulating Valve
A vacuum/flow regulating valve shall be provided and positioned

at the pump, comprised of a spring-loaded plate valve and inlet
silencer. The valve should be changeable with the pipeline inlet in
order to provide flexibility on site. The plate shall control air ingress
into the pipeline system, thereby controlling the vacuum level within.
An optional air inlet filter shall be available should the air quality
be poor/dusty offering further protection against dirt ingress into
the pump. Additional in line vacuum/flow regulating valves may be
installed if required and shall be determined by the pipeline designer.
The vacuum/flow regulating valve shall ensure a maximum vacuum
of 200mb below atmospheric pressure is not exceeded and shall be
factory preset at 150mb.
Control System
Each motor control panel shall incorporate an emergency panel

isolation switch facility, which controls all electrical power to the
exhauster unit, remote start switch panels and system indication
lights. All control and status indication circuitry shall be limited to
24V a.c. A green POWER ON indicator shall be fitted to the starter/
isolator panel, and shall illuminate whenever power is available to the
24V control and indication circuit. A HAND/OFF/AUTO switch shall
be provided to control operation of the pump, running the pump
continuously when selected to HAND. When selected to AUTO,
control of the pump shall be passed to the remote start switch panels.
Operation of any of the remote start switches shall activate the pump.
The pump shall continue to run until all remote switches are selected
OFF.
ANAESTHETIC
GAS SCAVENGING

Simplex starter/isolator panels c/w alarm pressure switch and duplex

units incorporate line pressure switch. This line pressure switch
monitors vacuum levels and provides an additional control of the
remote start switch and starter/isolator panel green RUNNING
indicators. The pressure switch shall also include a digital display
providing an accurate readout of the vacuum level in the pipeline in
order to assist with installation/commissioning and annual
re-commissioning.
Simplex installations shall use remote start switches that include a red
PLANT EMERGENCY indicator. This indicator shall illuminate on all
remote start switch panels if the vacuum level falls below the
pressure switch set point level when the pump has been called, or if
the overload trips. The on/off rocker switch shall include a green
illuminated surround to indicate mains on.
Duplex installations shall use remote start switches that include an
amber PLANT FAULT indicator. This shall illuminate, if either pump is
set to HAND, or if one of the overloads trip. A red PLANT
EMERGENCY indicator shall also be provided and shall illuminate on
all remote start switch panels if the vacuum level falls below the
pressure switch set point level when the pump has been called. The
on/off rocker switch shall include a green illuminated surround to
indicate mains on.
Where a duplex system is installed each pump shall be controlled by
a separate motor control panel to enable servicing of either pump or
control gear whilst maintaining system operation.
Volt free relay kits for replicating alarm conditions to BMS shall be
available as an optional extra. To be either installed either at factory or
as a retro-fit kit for onsite installation.
Terminal Units
Terminal unit shall be provided with an adjustable orifice to allow

balancing of the terminal unit flows during commissioning. Venturi
style terminal units are not acceptable. Terminal units shall not be
connected to the medical vacuum system.
CE Marking
The standard range of BeaconMeds Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging

System are CE marked under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC
with approval from notified body no. 0088 (Lloyds Register Quality
Assurance). Under this directive, the specified products are classified as
The starter/isolator panel shall incorporate a thermal protection

overload device. The thermal protection overload device shall also
monitor the electrical power supply and phase input. In the event of a
fault, the overload device shall break the circuit to the pump,
preventing operation until the system is manually re-set. Operation
of the overload device shall also break the circuit to the remote start
switch panels, extinguishing the green running indicator.
