Air Products Medical can supply liquid medical
oxygen in a variety of ways depending upon your oxygen consumption
needs and site specifications:
Duplex
System - suited to large general hospitals (i.e. 300
beds plus* or hospitals with critical supply parameters) - a large
storage tank containing medical liquid oxygen using a smaller tank
as a back-up.
Simplex
System - suited to smaller general hospitals (i.e. 100
beds plus*) – a medium-sized storage tank containing medical liquid
oxygen, using a medical oxygen cylinder manifold as back-up.
Minitank
System - suited to smaller hospitals and hospices that
have a requirement for continuity of supply (i.e. 20 beds plus*) - a
small storage tank containing medical liquid oxygen, backed-up by a
medical oxygen cylinder manifold.
Cylinder
Manifold - suited to small hospitals, hospices or
nursing homes (i.e. those hospitals with a pipeline system) - two
banks of medical oxygen cylinders are coupled to an automatic
changeover panel, and are backed-up by a medical oxygen Emergency
Stand-by Manifold (ESM).

Medical liquid oxygen Simplex System:
Our Simplex System is typically suited to
smaller general hospitals (i.e. 100 beds plus*) that don’t have the
consumption to warrant a large main tank and back-up tank, yet are
still looking for an uninterrupted supply, reduced manual cylinder
handling, limited maintenance, and peace of mind provided by 24-hour
remote monitoring.
The Simplex System consists of a
storage tank containing medical liquid oxygen, backed-up by a
medical oxygen cylinder manifold.
Automatic cylinder
back-up – the Simplex System provides peace of mind from an
uninterrupted supply and back-up system, that automatically switches
in and sounds an alarm. Once the cylinders have switched to the
second reserve bank, a further alarm will sound.
Nationwide delivery – we deliver medical
oxygen throughout England, Scotland and Wales 365 days a
year.
Gases compliant with the European Pharmacopoeia
standards – product licence numbers PL 6183/0001 (liquid
oxygen) and PL 6183/0011 (oxygen cylinders).

Medical liquid oxygen
Minitank Systems:
Air Products Medical offers two Minitank Systems:
The 950 litre Minitank System
The 230 litre Minitank
System
Our Minitank Systems are typically suited to
smaller hospitals and hospices that don’t have the space for a
larger main tank and back-up system (i.e. 20 beds plus*). They are
looking for a compact system that reduces manual cylinder handling
and provides a safe, uninterrupted supply.

 |
The 950 litre Minitank System –
consists of a small 950 litre storage tank containing medical liquid
oxygen. This is backed-up by a cylinder manifold. The 950 litre
tanks are smaller versions of the larger Duplex and Simplex vessels
used by general hospitals. They perform similar functions, but
require less installation work.
Compact
footprint - the 950 litre tank requires an area of 2 x 3 m
(the tank needs to be located outside).
Tank capacity
equivalent to over 118 J sized cylinders
The
230 litre Minitank System – consists of a small 230 litre
storage tank containing medical liquid oxygen. This is backed-up by
a cylinder manifold. The 230 litre tanks are essentially liquid
cylinders.
Compact Footprint - the 230
litre tank requires an area of 2 x 1.5 m.
Tank
capacity equivalent to 28 J sized
cylinders*
Nationwide delivery – we
deliver medical liquid oxygen throughout England, Scotland and Wales
365 days a year using a fleet of small cryogenic tankers to minimise
access issues.
Gases compliant with the European
Pharmacopoeia standards – product licence numbers PL
6183/0001 (liquid oxygen) and PL 6183/0011 (oxygen
cylinders).

Medical oxygen Cylinder Manifolds:
Our oxygen Cylinder Manifold System is typically
installed at small hospitals, hospices and nursing homes (i.e. those
hospitals with a pipeline system*). The cylinder system ensures a
safe, uninterrupted supply, with high-pressure cylinders ensuring
that the system takes up as little space as possible.
Air Products’ medical oxygen Cylinder
Manifolds consist of two banks of medical oxygen cylinders
coupled to an automatic changeover panel, backed-up by a small
medical oxygen Emergency Stand-by Manifold (ESM).
Higher-pressure cylinders – L sized medical
oxygen cylinders which are the same size as J sized cylinders, but
are filled to 200 bar instead of 137 bar. This means that L sized
cylinders contain 56% more gas, so the cylinder bank will last
longer.
 |
Automatic cylinder back-up – the
oxygen cylinder manifold provides an uninterrupted supply from 200
bar L size cylinders. The back-up system automatically switches in
and sounds an alarm. Once the cylinders have switched to the second
reserve bank, a further alarm will sound.
Nationwide
delivery – we deliver medical liquid oxygen throughout
England, Scotland and Wales 365 days a year.
Gases
compliant with the European Pharmacopoeia standards –
product licence numbers PL 6183/0001 (liquid oxygen) and PL
6183/0011 (oxygen cylinders).
