9.2. LOW PRESSURE OXYGEN PIPELINE (HOSPITAL)
OXYMO can be operated with piped low pressure oxygen as long as it meets
the following requirements:
1. Pressure within the piped oxygen supply system ranging between
2.8 to 7 bars.
2. Capacity to supply higher flow rates than 100 L/min.
3. Oxygen fitting (wall mounted fitting) compatible with the most of
standards.
The regulator OXYMO P-15 will be a must (See Chapter
4). It includes an
internal regulator which reduces pressure to 1.5 bar and an outlet valve
compatible with the spiral hose provided with equipment. OXYMO P-15
counts on different models of standard connection.
I CAUTION .
In case of using OXYMO in a pipeline with a caudal lower than
recommended, the unit will work properly but the equivalent flow (bolus) can
be lower than indicated.
