The system will eliminate the hardship of frequent refilling the cylinders for treatment of patients which is very cumbersome process, and will ensure smooth and continuous oxygen supply to the hospital. The Oxygen Unit generates oxygen gas by the continuous process of pressure swing adsorption methods through imported Molecular oxygen sieves in pressurized state in the unit and finally delivers oxygen of minimum 93% purity. The Medical oxygen copper piping network is installed for distribution of medical oxygen gas connects to each bed oxygen-fitting of the Male & Female wards and also ICU ward in the hospital. The network pipeline consists of heavy copper seamless pipes of various sizes to assure uniform oxygen pressure distribution throughout the network with oxygen regulators, flow meter and control valves to 54 bed-points of the wards in the hospital. The pipeline network is equipped with Low oxygen pressure alarm system to alert the hospital well-before any undue oxygen supply malfunction, leakage etc.
