Atlas Copco has developed ‘an advanced medical air plant calculation tool’ to assist with correct selection of a medical air plant based around the different medical gas standards set out within ISO7396-1, HTM 02-01, and HTM2022.
The software tool should help users select both the size and number of compressors needed, and the medical purifiers and vessels for a specified flow requirement. Those keen to use the new ‘tool’ should visit the compant’s website (www.atlascopco.com/Medicalus/tools/tools), complete the required flow and pressure details, and press the ‘Calculate’ button. They will then receive detailed information on the ‘best equipment match’ in line with ISO7396-1, HTM2022, or HTM02-01. The company added: “This calculation tool uses the configurable platform of the newly launched uAIR medical air plant. Users can not only accurately size their plant based on their specific needs – avoiding over-sizing – but can also visualise the complete system, request a quotation, or export the results in a PDF, ‘Word’, or ‘Excel’ format.
