The Medical Air system shall conform to EN ISO 7396-1 and NHS
Health Technical Memorandum HTM02-01. Medical quality air to the
European Pharmacopoeia monograph shall be delivered at pressures of
400 kPa (4 bar), 700kPa (7 bar) or 1100 kPa (11 bar) gauge for supply of
the hospital medical or surgical air systems. The entire system shall be
‘duplexed’ such that any single functional component failure will not
affect the integrity of the medical compressed air supply.
Surgical air systems shall have a ‘duplexed’ dryer system and a simplex
compressor. Additional compressors shall be available to fully ‘duplex’
the surgical air system, such that any single functional component
failure will not affect the integrity of the air supply.
Sources Of Supply - HTM02-01/EN ISO 7396-1
Triplex or quadruplex compressor configurations will produce the
primary supply with two compressors in standby. Each compressor
will be capable of supplying the specified volumetric flow for duplex
and triplex plant, and half flow for quadruplex. For duplex plant the
secondary supply shall be from an automatic manifold capable of
supplying at average demand for 4 hours. For triplex and quadruplex
plant the standby compressors will form the secondary supply.
Compressors

Flow Rate and Dryer Sizing Flow Rate and Dryer Sizing
Medical Air DF = 555 l/min (FAD) (4 Bar) Medical Air DF = 4920 l/min (FAD) (4 Bar)
Surgical Air DF = 1138 l/min (FAD) (7 Bar) Surgical Air DF =2888 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar)
Combined/total DF = 1693 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar high pressure system) Combined/total DF = 7808 l/min (FAD) (11 Bar high pressure system)

A dryer greater than 1693 l/min outlet flow should be selected
(outlet flow is the inlet flow minus purge losses)
= dMED25 inlet flow 2025 l/min, outlet flow 1755 l/min
Flow Rate and Compressor Sizing
From Table 1 surgical air DF is between 500-3500 l/min, so the
multiplying factor ‘A’ = 0.66
A dryer greater than 7808 l/min should be selected
(outlet flow is the inlet flow minus purge losses)
= dMED145 inlet flow 11745 l/min, outlet flow 10092 l/min
Flow Rate and Compressor Sizing
From Table 1 surgical air DF is between 500-3500 l/min, so the
multiplying factor ‘A’ = 0.66

Compressor flow rate = Med. DF + (Surg. DF x A) Plant flow rate = Med. DF + (Surg. DF x Value ‘A’)
= 555 + (1138 x 0.66) = 4920 + (2888 x 0.66)
= 555 + 751 = 4920 + 1907
= 1306 l/min = 6827 l/min

We also need to add the purge losses to the compressor output. For We also need to add the purge losses to the compressor output. For
additional purge consumption use:- additional purge consumption use:-

dMED inlet - dMED outlet = purge losses lpm dMED inlet - dMED outlet = purge losses lpm
= 2025 - 1755 = 270 l/min = 11745 - 10092 = 1653 l/min

Compressors should be selected with a flow rate greater than Compressors should be selected with a flow rate greater than
1306 l/min + 270 l/min = 1576 l/min 6827 l/min + 1653 l/min = 8480 l/min

Receiver Sizing Receiver Sizing

From Table 2 surgical air DF is between 500-2000 l/min, so the From Table 2 surgical air DF is between 2001-3500 l/min, so the

Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System

HTM02-01/HTM2022/ISO7396-2
SPECIFICATION

Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System
The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) System shall comply with HTM
02-01, HTM2022 and either EN ISO 7396-2 or BS 6834. The AGS
system shall be a dedicated, specifically designed active extraction
and disposal system for waste anaesthetic gas. It shall provide a
maximum flow rate of 80 l/min (EN ISO 7396-2) or 130 l/min (BS
6834) with a 1 kPa resistance to flow, and a minimum of 50 l/min (EN
ISO 7396-2) or 80 l/min (BS 6834) with a 2 kPa (EN ISO 7396-2) or 4
kPa (BS 6834) resistance to flow at each terminal unit,
irrespective of the number of terminal units in use. The AGS system
shall use dedicated radial blowers in a simplex or duplex
configuration. The AGS pump assemblies shall be skid mounted and
included on the skid shall be the simplex or duplex pump(s), motor
control unit(s) with starter/isolator, moisture drain flask and flexible
connector(s) to connect the plant to the pipeline. Each pump shall
include an electric motor and directly coupled impeller assembly.
Impeller bearings in the pump(s) shall not require lubrication. The
pump(s) shall be air cooled and rated for continuous operation.
Vacuum/Flow Regulating Valve
A vacuum/flow regulating valve shall be provided and positioned
at the pump, comprised of a spring-loaded plate valve and inlet
silencer. The valve should be changeable with the pipeline inlet in
order to provide flexibility on site. The plate shall control air ingress
into the pipeline system, thereby controlling the vacuum level within.
An optional air inlet filter shall be available should the air quality
be poor/dusty offering further protection against dirt ingress into
the pump. Additional in line vacuum/flow regulating valves may be
installed if required and shall be determined by the pipeline designer.
The vacuum/flow regulating valve shall ensure a maximum vacuum
of 200mb below atmospheric pressure is not exceeded and shall be
factory preset at 150mb.
Simplex starter/isolator panels c/w alarm pressure switch and duplex
units incorporate line pressure switch. This line pressure switch
monitors vacuum levels and provides an additional control of the
remote start switch and starter/isolator panel green ‘RUNNING’
indicators. The pressure switch shall also include a digital display
providing an accurate readout of the vacuum level in the pipeline in
order to assist with installation/commissioning and annual
re-commissioning.
Simplex installations shall use remote start switches that include a red
‘PLANT EMERGENCY’ indicator. This indicator shall illuminate on all
remote start switch panels if the vacuum level falls below the
pressure switch set point level when the pump has been called, or if
the overload trips. The on/off rocker switch shall include a green
illuminated surround to indicate ‘mains on’.
Duplex installations shall use remote start switches that include an
amber ‘PLANT FAULT’ indicator. This shall illuminate, if either pump is
set to ‘HAND’, or if one of the overloads trip. A red ‘PLANT
EMERGENCY’ indicator shall also be provided and shall illuminate on
all remote start switch panels if the vacuum level falls below the
pressure switch set point level when the pump has been called. The
on/off rocker switch shall include a green illuminated surround to
indicate ‘mains on’.
Where a duplex system is installed each pump shall be controlled by
a separate motor control panel to enable servicing of either pump or
control gear whilst maintaining system operation.
Volt free relay kits for replicating alarm conditions to BMS shall be
available as an optional extra. To be either installed either at factory or
as a retro-fit kit for onsite installation.

Control System Terminal Units

Each motor control panel shall incorporate an emergency panel
isolation switch facility, which controls all electrical power to the
exhauster unit, remote start switch panels and system indication
lights. All control and status indication circuitry shall be limited to
24V a.c. A green ‘POWER ON’ indicator shall be fitted to the starter/
isolator panel, and shall illuminate whenever power is available to the
24V control and indication circuit. A ‘HAND/OFF/AUTO’ switch shall
be provided to control operation of the pump, running the pump
continuously when selected to ‘HAND’. When selected to ‘AUTO’,
control of the pump shall be passed to the remote start switch panels.
Operation of any of the remote start switches shall activate the pump.
The pump shall continue to run until all remote switches are selected
‘OFF’.
Terminal unit shall be provided with an adjustable orifice to allow
balancing of the terminal unit flows during commissioning. Venturi
style terminal units are not acceptable. Terminal units shall not be
connected to the medical vacuum system.
CE Marking
The standard range of BeaconMedæs Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging
System are ‘CE’ marked under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC
with approval from notified body no. 0088 (Lloyd’s Register Quality
Assurance). Under this directive, the specified products are classified as
Class IIb Medical Devices.

The starter/isolator panel shall incorporate a thermal protection

overload device. The thermal protection overload device shall also
monitor the electrical power supply and phase input. In the event of a
fault, the overload device shall break the circuit to the pump,
preventing operation until the system is manually re-set. Operation
of the overload device shall also break the circuit to the remote start
switch panels, extinguishing the green running indicator.
