This document discusses selecting equipment for medical gas systems. It describes 4 main options for oxygen supply systems: compressed gas cylinders, liquid gas cylinders, large vacuum-insulated evaporators (VIEs), and oxygen concentrator installations using pressure swing adsorption (PSA). For each option, it provides details on typical system components and configurations. It emphasizes selecting the appropriate system based on a hospital's oxygen demand size and variability.

Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 1. Choosing An Oxygen Supply System. Oxygen is generally supplied from: 1. Compressed Gas Cylinders. 2. Liquid Gas Cylinders. 3. A liquid source such as a large vacuum- insulated evaporator (VIE). 4. Oxygen concentrator (pressure-swing adsorber) (PSA). Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 1. Compressed Gas Cylinders. • The primary supply is provided by two banks of equal numbers of gas cylinders which are connected to the pipeline via a control panel. • Each bank of the manifold should have sufficient cylinders for two days. Additional cylinders for one complete bank change should be held in the manifold room. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 1. Compressed Gas Cylinders. • Typical automatic manifold control system and emergency reserve manifold. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 1. Compressed Gas Cylinders. • Typical automatic manifold. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 2. Liquid Gas Cylinders. • Liquid cylinder systems can also be used to store the medical gas as a liquid at cryogenic temperatures and to vaporise it into a gas for patient use. • These systems are used where the demand is too high for compressed gas cylinders to be a practicable option but where it is neither economic nor possible to supply bulk medical liquid oxygen in a VIE system. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 2. Liquid Gas Cylinders. • The liquid cylinder system consists of:- • a number of vacuum-insulated liquid cylinders. • a system to manifold the liquid cylinders together to store sufficient liquid on site to meet the hospital’s demand; • control equipment to regulate the pressure and flow of gas to the pipeline.

Liquid Gas Cylinders. • Typical liquid cylinder system. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 3. large vacuum-insulated evaporator (VIE). • For hospitals with larger demands, a bulk medical oxygen VIE will generally be used. • Cryogenic liquid systems are normally used where the demand is high enough to make bulk supplies cost-effective and where the demand makes cylinder supplies impracticable. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 3. large vacuum-insulated evaporator (VIE). • These systems, commonly referred to as vacuum insulated evaporators (VIEs), are used to store the medical gas as a liquid at cryogenic temperatures and to vaporise it into a gas at ambient temperature for distribution through the hospital pipeline. • The liquid oxygen is stored at cryogenic temperatures (down to minus 183°C) and converted to a gas at ambient temperature by passing it through an air-heated vaporiser. Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 3. Vacuum-Insulated Evaporator (VIE). • The VIE system consists of:- • a vacuum-insulated cryogenic storage vessel to store the bulk liquid. • one or more ambient-heated vaporisers to convert the cryogenic liquid into a gas for supply to patients via a pipeline. • control equipment to control the pressure and flow of gas to the pipeline.

Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 4. Oxygen concentrator installations (PSA plant). • Oxygen concentrators or pressure swing adsorber (PSA) systems may be an alternative to the more traditional supply systems (the terms oxygen concentrator and PSA are interchangeable). • Typical installations where PSA systems should be considered are those sites having no access to reliable liquid supplies, such as remote or off-shore locations, or where the safety criteria for a bulk liquid vessel cannot be met (for example, very restricted sites). Medical Gas Systems b) Selecting Equipment. 4. Oxygen concentrator installations (PSA plant). • Otherwise, PSA systems should only be installed when an investment appraisal shows them to be economical. • Low energy consumption. • Almost maintenance free operation. • Self-sufficient. • No longer have to rely on delivery from external suppliers. • Eliminate rental charges, transportation cost, evaporation losses and labor cost.
