Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Monday 27 August 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
BeaconMedaes, Part of the Atlas Copco Group, pleased to launch a new Area Valve Box for medical gas pipeline systems
The
ISO Area Valve Box has been designed in accordance to the ISO 7396-1
standard where all clinical areas must be individually monitored per
guidelines.
The
purpose of the unit is to provide fast access to the pipeline
distribution system in case of a fire or emergency malfunctions as well
as monitor individual and central systems within hospitals. The Area
Valve Box supplies both an inlet and outlet connection. Additionally,
the Area Valve Box allows the hospital and maintenance staff to
physically isolate sections of the pipeline during downstream system
repairs or maintenance situations.
The
BeaconMedaes ISO Area Valve Box embodies a simplified design with
modern components. The components include a robust powder coated metal
case designed for rugged durability. The unit is easy to install and
can be mounted wall recessed or surface mounted.
Also
included is a valve assembly, which consists of a copper 22 mm outlet
tube and inlet tube with an In-Line Shut-off valve for trouble-free
operation. The valve assembly has a transition block which houses a
pressure gage for easy pressure reading, an emergency and maintenance
inlet, as well as the pressure and vacuum switches.
Likewise,
the physical isolation device allows for valve isolation when the
inline shut-off valve is in service yielding the back feeding of gas
through the emergency and maintenance inlet.
The
units are intended to be installed downstream of line pressure
regulators. When used for emergency situations, the device must be
incorporated in the emergency management plan of the healthcare
facility. To offer this level of added security, the Area Valve Box
comes with electronic pressure sensors which provide highly precise
measurement values and activate a visual alarm in the event of abnormal
pressure changes. The built-in alarm is a LCD display with 16 inputs
for up to 8 gases. When not in alarm mode, the display message reads
“Status of System is OK”. Alternatively, the alarm can be programmed
with a different message up to 16 characters and two lines. If an alarm
condition would occur a message will appear, a red LED light will flash,
and a ringtone will be activated.
Fully
compliant to ISO 7396-1, the Area Valve Box pressure switches
continuously monitor the network pressure. The optical and acoustic
alarm functions immediately indicate any malfunction situation and
pressures are displayed independent of the power supply via the analog
pressure gauges.
