1.0 OXYGEN PLANT CALCULATIONS:

It was calculated through the demand flow calculations as mentioned in Design Calculation
Section for the different parts of Hospital and eventually,It was calculated total demand flow of the
hospital
Total Demand Flow for complete Hospital 1014 lpm at 4 Atm
Since Automatic Control Panel operates under 7 Atm, Minimum flow demand can be calculated as:
1014*4/7=580 lpm @ 7 Atm
According to this, Automatic Control Panel has to have High pressure regulators which have
minimum 600 lpm (36 m3/h) capacity under 200-250 Atm operating pressure in order to provide
the total demand of hospital without problem. Medikar Autosystem 8001 Automatic Control Panel
has 2 High Pressure Regulators which have 100m3/h flow capacity, these can supply the required
oxygen demand.
Total oxygen demand of hospital under 7 Atm is 580 l/m*60 min/h*24day/h=835.200 l/day, same
demand can be calculated as 835.200*7/137= 42.674 l/day under 137 Atm pressure.
According to the standards defined in Section 5 Table 14 of HTM 2022
An Oxygen cylinder has 6800 Lt. capacity, and usable capacity is 6540 Lt. under 137 Atm.
Consequently, daily oxygen demand of a hospital is;
42.674 / 6540=6,52 cyl. nearly 7 cylinders are required. Under normal conditions the plant
should have 70 cylinders which is the demand of the hospital for 10 days. Thus, the plant should be
2x35 cylinder capacity.
When the size of the hospital, transportation and cylinder replacing are considered, it will be
better to have VIE tank instead of having such a great plant.
For the Supply of Oxygen, 1 Unit of 3 m3(tonnes) is selected for the Main source of
Oxygen.This Unit of VIE tank shall be Primary source of Oxygen Supply and there shall be also 10
Cylinder capacity of Emergency Standby Cylinder
According to the HTM 2022 Section 6.83 A 200 Lt. liquid oxygen is nearly equal to the capacity of
24 cylinders. Thus 200 Lt. liquid oxygen is equal to 24*6540=156.960 Lt. oxygen in gas phase.
Consequently, 1 Lt. liquid oxygen under 137 Atm. is equal to785 Lt. gas oxygen.
A 3m3 or 3000 Lt. liquid oxygen =3000*785=2.355.000 Lt. oxygen in gas phase.

Since the demand of hospital under 137 Atm. is equal to 42.674 Lt. This VIE tank can be
enough; 2.355.000 Lt./42.674 lt/day=55,2. Approximately 55 days
Finally, a 3m3(3000lt) capacity VIE tank with 10 cylinders emergency supply system is
enough for hospital.

2.0 NITROUS OXIDE PLANT CALCULATIONS:

It was calculated through the demand flow calculations as mentioned in Design Calculation
Section for the different parts of Hospital and eventually,It was calculated demand flow for the
hospital
Total Nitrous Oxide Demand Flow for complete Hospital 99 lpm at 4 Bar
Nitrous Oxide N2O Distribution shall be by one Fully Automatic Control and Pressure
Regulation Panel, having two high pressure Regulators with a flow capacity of 750 lpm(45 m3/hr)
at 7 Bar .And changing over from one side to the other shall be fully Automatic and Pneumatic
operation shall provide continous operation even in the case of Electricity cut-offs .
Since Nitrous Oxide gas is generally used in critical departments such as operating Theatres,
Delivery rooms and etc. Operating coefficient has to be taken as 100%. Then actual demand for
hospital should be 99 lpm.
Since Automatic Control Panel operates under 7 Atm, Minimum flow demand can be
calculated as:
99*4/7= 57 lpm @ 7 Atm
According to this, Automatic Control Panel has to have High pressure regulators which have
minimum 100 lpm (6 m3/h) capacity under 200-250 Atm operating pressure in order to provide the
total demand of hospital without problem. Medikar Autosystem 8001 Automatic Control Panel has
2 High Pressure Regulators which have 45m3/h flow capacity, these can supply the required nitrous
oxide demand.
According to the standards defined in Section 5 Table 14 of HTM 2022
A Nitrous Oxide cylinder has 18.000 Lt. capacity, and usable capacity is 17.800 Lt. under
137 Atm. Consequently, daily nitrous oxide demand of hospital under 4 Atm is;
99 Lt/m*60 min/h*24 day/h= 142.560 Lt./day
The flow of a Nitrous Oxide Cylinder under 137 Atm is 17.800 Lt.
Under 4 Atm. Pressure it is 17.800 Lt.*137/4=609.650 Lt.
Selected Nitrous Oxide Plant is 2x5 Cylinder capacity
10 cyl.*609.650 Lt./142.560 Lt./day=42,8 days

Thus, selected plant is capable of supplying hospital approximately 42 days.
Thus, the plant should be 2x5 cylinder capacity.

3.0 MEDICAL AIR PLANT CALCULATIONS:

It was calculated through the demand flow calculations as mentioned in Design Calculation
Section for the different parts of Hospital and eventually,It was basic demand flow for Medical Air
4 Bar and 7 Bar for the hospital
Medical Air 4 bar 1322.5 lt/min @ 4 Atm = 755,7 lt/min @ 7 Atm
Medical Air 7 bar 1137,5 lt/min @ 7 Atm
Thus Actual Medical Air demand is
Medical Air 4 bar= 755,7 lt/min @7 Atm.
Medical Air 7 bar= 1137,5 lt/min @ 7 Atm
Total medical air demand = 1893,2 lt/min (31,55 l/s) @ 7 Atm.
Calculated Overall Demand Flow for Hospital is 1893,2 lpm at 7.0 Bar Pressure(31,55 l/s). Sınce
compressors operate at 10 bar we have to calculate hospital demand at 10 bar.
1893.2 lt/min @ 7 Atm = 1325,4 lt/min @ 10 Atm(bar) (22.09 l/s)
To provide that amount of Flow,the plant should have the following parts.
1. At least Three Piston Type Air Compressor which have 10 bar of operating pressure.
Each one having a capacity of 15,7 l/s with a Power of 7,5 kW.
2. 1000 Lt. Capacity air receiver. The receiver should be resistant to 10 Atm operating and
16 Atm Test Pressure.
3. Duplex Heatless Desiccant Dryer to HTM 2022
4. Filter Assembly
5. 4-7 Atm Air Pressure Regulator Group
6. Transducer Controlled Electrical Control Panel with Digital Display

4.0 MEDICAL VACUUM PLANT CALCULATIONS

Total Demand Flow for Medical Vacuum for Hospital is 1730 lpm @ 450 mmHg.
According to the HTM 2022 Section 4 Article 4.74, calculated vacuum demand must be multiplied
with an operating coefficient of 75%. Then;
1730 lt/min*0,75=1298 lpm @ 450mmHg vacuum under free air aspired.
Converting to Free Air Aspired at Atmospheric Pressure
1298 @450 mmHg = 2192 lpm @ 760 mmHg(131,5 m3/hr)
Calculated Overall Demand Flow for Hospital is 2192 lpm. To provide that amount of
Flow,the plant should have the following parts.
1. Two Oil Lubricated Air Cooled Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps.
With 132 m3/hr minimum capacity each
2. 2 ea 1500 Lt. Capacity vacuum reservoir.
3. Bacterial Filter Assembly
4. Transducer Controlled Electrical Control Panel with Digital Vacuum Gauge.
