Automatic Changeover Central Gas Station MOS / MAS Series

Sitting at the heart of the hospital infrastructure, central gas stations are designed with an engineering approach based on managing medical gases safely, under control and without interruption from source to point of use. This automatic changeover manifold was developed to deliver oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, carbon dioxide and nitrogen continuously to the healthcare facility. These pressurised gases are used in operating theatres, intensive care, neonatal care, emergency departments and patient rooms.

One cylinder group sits on each side of the pressure control assembly; the station manages one of them as the main bank and the other as the reserve. As soon as pressure on the main bank drops, the station automatically transfers the supply to the reserve group. Because each pressure stage is controlled by its own regulator, the two-stage system delivers higher flow rates and a smoother flow curve.

Non-return valves prevent the gas in the cylinders from escaping during cylinder changeover or if a leak occurs in the pipeline. All pressure values and fault alarms are managed through a digital control panel.

Key Features

• Automatic changeover between the main and reserve cylinder banks
• Two-stage pressure regulation with a separate regulating unit for each stage
• Non-return valves prevent gas loss during cylinder changeover or in case of a line leak
• Pressure data and fault alarms are monitored through a digital control panel
• MOS series for oxygen and MAS series for nitrous oxide, in 7 capacities
• 40 m³/h or 150 m³/h pressure reducer, depending on the model

Applications

• Operating theatres
• Intensive care and neonatal care units
• Emergency departments
• Patient rooms
