Liquid oxygen packaging equipment in home oxygen therapy base units

TS designs and manufactures complete systems for packaging liquid oxygen into base units for home oxygen-therapy.

Our equipment is designed to ensure that the filling process is conducted under the best conditions of safety and productivity, thanks to competent and detail-oriented designs and manufacturing procedures that consider every aspect, from the oxygen supply to the delivery connector to the base unit.

The process is achieved by transferring, by pressure difference, liquid oxygen from the cryogenic storage tank to the base units, with either manual or automatic operating modes, depending on specific configuration setup.

A typical configuration is shown in this image.

Items not shown in the figure:

  • Liquid medical oxygen storage tank
  • Oxygen supply manifold, including pressure regulating valve and other accessories
  • Cryogenic O2 transfer line, from tank to filling ramp

Of particular interest: extracting solutions for the removal of exhaust oxygen vapors, which are produced during the filling process and cause poor visibility of filling operations, resulting in risks to operators.*

MAIN FEATURES

  • Maximum service pressure (PS or MAWP): 10 bar g

  • Service temperature range: -183…50°C

  • Main materials: stainless steel, aluminum, brass

  • Adduction line and filling ramp thermal insulation solution: TSV (vacuum jacketed insulation)

  • Filling hoses equipped with anti-kink springs and UNF end connectors

  • Configurations available for managing the filling process in both manual and automatic modes

  • Intuitive, simple and ergonomic management softwar (only for automated configurations)

  • Variable equipment sizes, depending on available footprint or user and context specifications

COMPLIANCE

  • PED Directive, for cases where classification in one of the Categories is not provided, compliance with the requirements of Art. 4.3 of the Directive itself, with particular reference to the Rule of Art in accordance with specific standards and guidelines

  • EIGA Guideline Doc. 33/18 – Cleaning of Equipment for Oxygen Service.

  • EIGA Guideline Doc. 217/19 – Vacuum-Jacketed Piping in Liquid Oxygen Service

(*) Under unfavorable climatic conditions, which where present are generally concentrated in a few weeks per year, given by the combination of relative humidity >85% and temperature  < 4°C, such suction solutions provide a technological limitation against which the movement of oxygen vapor and air alone cannot provide appreciable improvements in visibility. These circumstances therefore require the integration of additional solutions that must necessarily take into account the installation context and utilities present at the filling center.
