The basic requirement of the oxygen concentrator is to provide a sa

12、fe, reliable local source of oxygen-enriched air of sufficiently high oxygen concentration to supply medical needs. Special consideration has to be given to providing a safe system with adequate reserves since life support is dependent on a non-failing supply. There is more than one way of achieving

13、 a high concentration of oxygen. This International Standard specifies requirements for the molecular sieve type of oxygen concentrator, also known as a pressure swing adsorber (PSA). Other types will be included when they are at a stage where they can be applied practically to hospital pipeline sys

14、tems. This International Standard does not purport to guarantee the suitability of the product gas for all clinical procedures, nor does it necessarily imply cost advantages over other methods of oxygen supply; it does, however, lay down the minimum requirements for those circumstances in which hosp

15、ital authorities choose this method of supply. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for an oxygen concentrator system including a reserve supply, for use with medical gas pipeline systems which comply with ISO 7396, comprising a pressure swing adsorber (PSA) system and its sour

16、ce of air supply. It includes requirements for safety, quality, purity and availability of supply. It also specifies the air source for oxygen concentrators. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions or this Interna

31、t of the molecular sieve device which come into contact with oxygen-enriched air, shall be compatible with oxygen 99 % under all operating conditions, and shall be clean and free from oil, grease and particulate matter. The anti-corrosion properties of all components against oxygen, moisture and sur

32、rounding materials should also be considered. Components should be of materials as specified in Annex A of ISO 7396:1987. NOTE 2Compatibility involves both combustibility and ease of ignition. Materials which burn in air burn violently in pure oxygen, particularly under pressure. Similarly, material

33、s which can be ignited in air require lower ignition energies in oxygen. Many such materials may be ignited by friction, at a valve seat or stem packing, by adiabatic compression, produced when oxygen at high pressure is rapidly introduced into a system at low pressure. 4.2 Cleaning All pipes, valve

34、s and fittings in contact with the product gas in normal use or under single-fault condition shall be cleaned and degreased before assembly. Precautions should be taken to maintain cleanliness during installation.BS7634:1993 BSI 09-1999 3 5 Requirements 5.1 General NOTE 3A typical oxygen concentrato
