operating conditions.
6. Medical gas cylinder manifold systems, including
non-ferrous manifold, fittings, valves, parts,
anchorage, and connections rated at 20,682 kPa (gage)
3,000 psig working pressure for each type of
medical gas.
7. Do not locate medical air compressor near
patient care areas that would be adversely affected
by compressor noise or vibration. Provide medical
air compressors with a water supply piped from the
medical facility's potable water system. Provide
reduced-pressure backflow preventer on potable water
branch to compressor. Do not recirculate exchange
water. An energy recovery heat exchanger may be
used. Dust, dirt, and oil fume conditions at the
project location may require the installation of air
cleaners on the compressors.
8. Bulk liquid oxygen systems, including liquid
oxygen storage tanks, evaporators, piping, and
controls.
9. Vibration and noise isolators, seismic
restraints, equipment bases, inertia bases, and
foundations for equipment and piping.
10. Emergency liquid oxygen connection point
details.
11. Sizes of pipe and fittings. Include purge vent
valve "dirt leg" locations and details.
12. Electrical receptacle locations.
