Oxygen Cylinder Manifold

An oxygen cylinder manifold is used to supply oxygen gas in bulk throughout the building via multiple pipelines using gas regulators, pressure gauges and relief valves. A manifold refers to a larger and wider pipe into which various smaller pipelines connect – that leads to different areas of a building where oxygen gas is required in bulk. In medical facilities, the gas manifold is a group of large gas cylinders that supply gas via a pipeline. The set-up is arranged in primary and secondary flow groups in parallel, which means when the primary group is depleted, the secondary group supplies begin to serve the system as a standby supply system.

Moreover, an advance oxygen cylinder manifold comes with a control panel to regulate gas pressure and flow rate, and deliver gas as per the requirement. Whole process can be operated manually or be automated. It may connect to some 10 cylinders to more than 80 cylinders whose output leads to different locations of a medical facility. The installation of manifold in medical facilities aid to reduce transportation cost.
