Medical Gas Manifold

摘要

A gas pressure regulator is disclosed that includes a reciprocating piston that engages and disengages from a seat to open the higher pressure and lower pressure sides of the regulator to one another. The regulator includes an elastomer seal between the seat and the piston that has an ignition rating sufficient to avoid combustion in the presence of oxygen at pressure differentials that are a factor of between 5 and 10 between the higher pressure and lower pressure sides of the regulator.

主权项

1. A gas pressure manifold that is particularly suitable for medical industry applications, said manifold comprising:
at least one pair of bank regulator bodies for supporting regulators that moderate the flow of high-pressure gas from a gas source while providing redundancy for continuous gas flow through at least one regulator at all times; at least one pair of line regulator bodies for holding line regulators in gas communication with bank regulators; and said bank regulator bodies and said line regulator bodies being joined by at least one brace bar.
