Medical Gas Pipeline System

Description

Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) is a centralized hospital infrastructure that safely supplies medical gases such as oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, and vacuum from a central source to different patient care areas through fixed pipelines. It ensures continuous, reliable, and contamination-free gas delivery to ICUs, operation theatres, wards, and emergency rooms, while complying with international safety standards and providing monitoring, alarms, and isolation controls for patient and staff safety.

A Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) is a centralized infrastructure in healthcare facilities that safely delivers medical gases such as oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, and vacuum suction from a central source to clinical areas like ICUs, OT theaters, wards, and emergency rooms through a network of pipes, valves, outlets, and alarms. It ensures continuous, controlled, and contamination-free gas delivery that meets international hygiene and safety standards.

01 Supply Source Systems:

These generate or supply the gas to the pipeline:

• PSA Oxygen Generators – Generate medical oxygen on-site from ambient air

• Liquid Oxygen (LOX) Tanks – Stored as cryogenic liquid, vaporized and sent into the pipeline

• Cylinder Manifolds – Banks of high-pressure cylinders with automatic changeover

Each type is chosen based on hospital size, footprint, and oxygen demand.

02. Distribution Pipeline Network:

• Copper Medical-Grade Pipes (BS/EN or ASTM standard)

• Fittings, elbows, tees, and supports

• Pressure regulators and gauges

• Zone valve boxes (ZVB) to isolate sections

• Master & area alarm panels

These systems follow color-coding and safety standards to avoid mistakes.

3. Terminal Devices:

Terminal outlets and devices where clinicians connect equipment:

• Oxygen outlets

• Vacuum suction outlets

• Medical air outlets

• Bed-head panels

• Pendants
