Installation Process of Medical Gas Engineering
2024.11.22
In the construction of modern medical facilities, the installation of medical gas engineering is of vital importance, as it is directly related to the safe and efficient operation of medical work. Guangzhou Kunling Purification Equipment Co., Ltd., as a professional provider of purification equipment and engineering services, has rich experience and in-depth insights in the field of medical gas engineering installation. Today, let's take a detailed look at the installation process of medical gas engineering together.
I. Preliminary Planning and Design
The first step in the installation of medical gas engineering is meticulous preliminary planning and design. This requires comprehensive consideration of various factors such as the scale of the hospital, the layout of departments, the number of beds, and future development plans.
· Demand Assessment: Conduct in-depth investigations in various departments to determine the types and amounts of medical gases required. For example, operating rooms, intensive care units, etc. have a relatively concentrated demand for gases such as oxygen and nitrous oxide and require relatively large amounts, while ordinary wards may mainly rely on oxygen supply. An accurate demand assessment can ensure that the capacity design of the gas supply system is reasonable, avoiding situations of insufficient supply or over-configuration.
· System Layout Design: Design a reasonable routing of gas pipelines according to the hospital's building structure. Pipelines should avoid densely populated areas and other important facilities as much as possible to reduce safety risks. Meanwhile, plan the location of the gas station room. The gas station room should have good ventilation, fire prevention, and explosion-proof conditions and should be convenient for gas storage, transportation, and management. The design plan also needs to fully consider reserving backup pipelines and interfaces to cope with possible future department expansions or changes in gas demand.
II. Equipment and Material Procurement
After completing the planning and design, it enters the stage of equipment and material procurement.
· Equipment Selection: According to the design requirements, select reliable and stable medical gas equipment. For example, when choosing an oxygen generator, a product that meets national standards, has high oxygen purity, and stable gas production volume should be selected; gas storage tanks should have good pressure resistance and sealing performance. For accessories such as pressure regulators and valves, attention should also be paid to their precision and durability to ensure accurate control of gas pressure and flow.
· Material Quality Control: Medical gas pipeline materials usually adopt stainless steel or copper pipes, which have good corrosion resistance and sealing properties. During the procurement process, strictly check the quality certification documents of the materials to ensure that their materials meet the relevant standard requirements. Conduct random inspections on each batch of pipeline materials to check whether parameters such as the wall thickness and inner diameter of the pipelines meet the standards, preventing safety accidents such as gas leakage caused by material quality problems.
III. Pipeline Installation and Construction
Pipeline installation is the core link of medical gas engineering.
· Pipeline Prefabrication and Installation: Outside the installation site, prefabricate and process the pipelines according to the design drawings. This can improve the installation efficiency and ensure the processing accuracy of the pipelines. During the pipeline installation process, strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure that the pipelines are firmly connected and well-sealed. For pipelines connected by welding, professional welders should perform the operations, and non-destructive testing, such as X-ray flaw detection, should be carried out to ensure that there are no defects in the welding quality. The pipelines should be installed with a certain slope to facilitate the drainage of condensed water and prevent moisture from entering the gas system and affecting the gas quality.
· Pipeline Identification and Protection: The installed pipelines should be clearly identified in a timely manner, indicating the types of gases in the pipelines, flow directions, and other information, which is convenient for future maintenance and management. Meanwhile, protect the pipelines to prevent them from being damaged during the subsequent construction process. For example, when pipelines pass through walls, floors, and other parts, sleeves should be set up for protection, and fireproof and sealing materials should be filled between the sleeves and the pipelines.
IV. Equipment Installation and Debugging
· Equipment Installation in Place: Install the purchased medical gas equipment in the designated positions according to the design requirements. The installation of large equipment such as oxygen generators and gas storage tanks requires professional hoisting equipment and installation teams to ensure that the equipment is installed stably and firmly. During the equipment installation process, pay attention to the shock absorption measures of the equipment to reduce the impact of vibration and noise generated during equipment operation on the surrounding environment.
· Debugging and Testing: After the equipment is installed, conduct comprehensive debugging work. First, carry out single-unit debugging of the equipment to check whether all functions of the equipment are normal, such as whether the oxygen concentration of the oxygen generator and the pressure adjustment range meet the requirements. Then conduct system linkage debugging, simulate the actual operating conditions, and detect indicators such as the pressure stability of the entire medical gas system and the uniformity of gas flow distribution. During the debugging process, use professional testing instruments to monitor parameters such as gas purity, humidity, and pressure in real time to ensure that the quality of the gas output by the system meets the medical use standards.
V. Acceptance and Delivery
· Acceptance Standards and Procedures: Based on relevant national regulations and industry standards, such as "Technical Specification for Medical Gas Engineering", conduct a comprehensive acceptance of the medical gas engineering. The acceptance content includes the installation quality of the equipment, the welding quality of the pipelines, the pressure test results of the system, the gas quality test report, etc. The acceptance process usually starts with self-inspection by the construction party. After passing the self-inspection, the construction party submits an acceptance application to the hospital. The hospital organizes professional personnel or entrusts a third-party testing agency to conduct the acceptance.
· Delivery and Training: After passing the acceptance, the medical gas engineering is officially delivered to the hospital for use. At the same time, provide systematic training for the hospital's equipment maintenance personnel and medical staff. The training content includes equipment operation methods, key points of daily maintenance, common fault troubleshooting, etc., to ensure that the hospital can correctly use and maintain the medical gas system and ensure the safety and smooth progress of medical work.
Medical gas engineering installation is a rigorous, complex, and life-critical task. Guangzhou Kunling Purification Equipment Co., Ltd. always adheres to a professional and responsible attitude, strictly follows the installation process, and creates a safe and reliable medical gas engineering system for medical institutions, contributing to the development and progress of the medical cause.
