Medical Gas System Design AI
AI design of medical gas piping systems for healthcare facilities.
Definition
Medical Gas System Design AI supports the design of medical gas piping systems including oxygen, medical air, vacuum, and nitrous oxide. It ensures proper system sizing, alarm placement, and compliance with NFPA 99 and other healthcare codes for safe patient care.
In Depth
Medical gas systems — oxygen, medical air, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and vacuum — are life-critical systems in healthcare facilities governed by NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code). AI assists with system sizing, zone valve placement, and alarm design to ensure compliance with the extensive NFPA 99 requirements.
Zone valve placement is particularly important because zone valves allow sections of the medical gas system to be shut off for maintenance without disrupting the entire building. AI designs the zone valve arrangement based on the building's departmental layout, ensuring that each zone can be isolated independently and that critical areas (operating rooms, ICUs) can maintain gas service during maintenance of adjacent zones.
