| dc.description.abstract | A medical gas pipeline system is a standardized method by World Health Organization (WHO) to deliver different medical gases from a centralized source of supply to the required terminal units using a carefully and well-designed pipeline distribution system. Since the expensive cost of an exclusive system designing software, most commercial companies use customized and unofficial Excel spreadsheet templates. This made the research area very demanding and unwieldy for further investigation. Hence powerful & explanatory MATLAB program is introduced for an optimized system design analysis. This thesis follows a conservative approach of the Health Technical Memorandum (HTM 02-01, UK) part A: Medical gas pipeline system design manual for the analysis. The thesis aimed to provide the safe and reliable Medical Gas Pipeline Distribution System design simulation platform using MATLAB software for the following 6 major & frequently used medical gases. Namely: Oxygen (O2), Medical Air (MA), Medical Vacuum (MV), Surgical Air (SA), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Anesthetic Gas (AG). The system design analysis solves the pipeline distribution layout name coding for the main pipes and its sub branches, flowrate analysis, determination of the most remote pipeline and its pressure drop analysis. The manual system design analysis is also introduced and compared with the MATLAB analysis result for the sample two floors building. Therefore, the MATLAB program can analyze any number of floors with unlimited number of pipe arrangements in a well-organized design procedure. therefore, it’s a generalized design platform for designing the medical gas pipeline distribution system for any healthcare centers. | en_US |
