In the construction and operation of modern hospitals, the central oxygen supply installation project is of great importance, which is related to the life safety and treatment effect of patients. As a professional purification equipment company, Guangzhou Kunling Purification Equipment Co., Ltd. has rich experience in the central oxygen supply installation project of the hospital in - patient department. The following will introduce the key points of the construction of this project in detail for you.
I. Pre - construction Preparation
(I) Design and Planning
- Thoroughly understand the architectural structure and layout of the hospital in - patient department, including the number of wards, distribution locations, corridor widths, etc. According to these actual situations, design a reasonable oxygen supply pipeline route to ensure that the pipeline can cover all areas requiring oxygen supply, while avoiding obstruction to the normal flow of people and logistics channels in the hospital.
- Combine the expected number of patients and oxygen demand of the hospital to determine the capacity and oxygen supply mode of the central oxygen supply system. For example, a large - scale general hospital may need a large - capacity liquid oxygen storage tank or oxygen - making machine, and may adopt a mode combining multiple oxygen supply methods to ensure uninterrupted oxygen supply.
(II) Equipment and Material Procurement
- Strictly screen oxygen supply equipment and pipeline materials. Oxygen supply equipment should choose products with reliable quality and stable performance, such as well - known brand oxygen - making machines or liquid oxygen storage tanks. These equipments should not only meet the current oxygen demand of the hospital, but also have certain expansion potential to adapt to the future development of the hospital.
- For pipeline materials, stainless steel pipes or copper pipes that meet medical standards should be selected. These pipeline materials have good corrosion resistance and sealing performance, which can effectively prevent oxygen leakage and ensure oxygen supply safety. During procurement, strictly control parameters such as the wall thickness and pipe diameter of the pipeline to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
(III) Personnel Organization
- Form a professional construction team, including pipeline installers, electrical engineers, equipment debuggers with relevant qualifications, etc. Construction personnel must be familiar with the installation specifications and operating procedures of the central oxygen supply system and have rich construction experience.
- Conduct pre - construction training for construction personnel, focusing on training construction safety precautions, construction specifications in the special environment of the hospital, and key points of the central oxygen supply system installation, etc. Ensure that construction personnel can operate in accordance with regulations during the construction process to ensure construction quality and safety.
II. Construction Process
(I) Pipeline Installation
- Conduct pipeline setting - out and positioning according to the design plan. Accurately mark the pipeline route and installation position on the walls and ceilings of the in - patient department to ensure the accurate position of the pipeline installation. During the setting - out process, fully consider avoiding the existing facilities of the hospital, such as avoiding fire - fighting pipelines and electrical lines.
- Pipeline cutting and connection. When cutting the pipeline, use professional cutting tools to ensure that the pipeline cut is flat and smooth. The pipeline connection adopts the method of welding or connection with special pipe fittings. For welding connection, strictly control the welding quality to prevent welding defects such as pores and slag inclusions. After welding, non - destructive testing should be carried out on the weld to ensure that the sealing and strength of the weld meet the requirements.
- Pipeline support installation. Reasonably set pipeline supports according to the pipeline route and weight. The support spacing should meet the design specifications, and the support installation should be firm and reliable to prevent the pipeline from deforming or displacing during operation. At the same time, the support should be anti - corrosive treated to avoid rust affecting the service life of the pipeline.
(II) Equipment Installation
- Installation of oxygen - making machines or liquid oxygen storage tanks. When installing the oxygen - making machine, ensure that its installation position has good ventilation to facilitate equipment heat dissipation and daily maintenance. At the same time, make precise horizontal adjustments to the oxygen - making machine to ensure smooth operation of the equipment. For liquid oxygen storage tanks, carry out foundation construction in accordance with relevant specifications to ensure that the storage tanks are installed firmly, and do a good job in the thermal insulation and safety protection measures of the storage tanks.
- Installation of pressure - reducing devices, valves and other accessories. The pressure - reducing device should be installed in a position convenient for operation and observation to ensure that it can accurately adjust the oxygen pressure. Pay attention to the correctness of the flow direction and operation direction when installing the valve, and ensure that the valve has good sealing performance in the closed state. During the installation process, strictly check the quality of all accessories to prevent defective accessories from entering the system.
(III) Electrical System Installation
- Wiring construction. Lay electrical lines according to the electrical control requirements of the central oxygen supply system. The lines should adopt flame - retardant and well - insulated electric wires and cables, and be protected by pipes in accordance with the specifications. During the wiring process, pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from the oxygen supply pipeline to prevent safety accidents such as oxygen leakage caused by electrical faults.
- Installation of distribution boxes and control boxes. Distribution boxes and control boxes should be installed in dry and ventilated positions for convenient operation and maintenance. During the installation process, check and debug the electrical components in the boxes to ensure their normal operation. At the same time, carry out grounding protection for distribution boxes and control boxes to prevent electric shock accidents.
III. Post - construction Debugging and Acceptance
(I) System Debugging
- Pressure test of oxygen pipeline. After the system installation is completed, first conduct a pressure test on the oxygen pipeline. The pressure test medium is generally oil - free dry air or nitrogen, and the pressure test is carried out at 1.15 times of the design pressure, and the pressure test time is not less than 10 minutes. During the pressure test process, carefully check whether there is leakage, deformation, etc. in the pipeline system to ensure the sealing and strength of the pipeline.
- Equipment debugging. Debug the oxygen - making machines, liquid oxygen storage tanks, pressure - reducing devices and other equipment one by one. Start the oxygen - making machine and check whether parameters such as oxygen production volume and oxygen concentration meet the design requirements; conduct liquid - filling test on the liquid oxygen storage tank and check whether functions such as liquid level display and valve operation of the storage tank are normal; adjust the pressure - reducing device and check whether its pressure adjustment range and accuracy meet the usage requirements.
- System linkage debugging. After the equipment debugging is completed, conduct the linkage debugging of the central oxygen supply system. Simulate the oxygen demand of different areas of the hospital and check whether the oxygen supply capacity, pressure stability, automatic switching function, etc. of the system are normal. During the linkage debugging process, closely observe the operation of the system and timely discover and solve possible problems.
(II) Completion Acceptance
- Data review. The construction unit shall submit complete construction data to the hospital, including design drawings, equipment and material lists, construction records, pressure test reports, debugging reports, etc. Relevant departments of the hospital shall review these data to ensure that the construction process conforms to the specifications and the data is complete.
- On - site acceptance. Organize professionals to inspect the installation quality of the central oxygen supply system on - site. The inspection contents include pipeline installation quality, equipment installation position and fixation situation, electrical system wiring and grounding situation, etc. At the same time, conduct actual operation tests on the system to check whether its oxygen supply effect and various functions meet the design requirements.
