Seventeen Patient design
Some ex Anglo American plc Engineers under the leadership of Dave Morris have designed an alternative supply solution to rapidly deploy for field hospitals and expansion of ICU capacity if there is limited medical air capacity.
This design has been through a formal HAZOP and a prototype has just been installed in a hospital in the Eastern Cape for full medical trials of the end to end solution.
The design comprises of two air blowers with quality inlet filters supplying +/- 84 – 100 m3/h of air at +/- 100 -130 m Bar into a distribution manifold feeding seventeen individual patients with independent valves/.
