Notes on Using this Pamphlet:
This pamphlet is presented as a service to systems designers working with medical gas and vacuum in medical
facilities. The design process used in this booklet is detailed in Chapter 1 - Design Process.
This Guide is not in any way intended to be a substitute for a properly qualified engineer, and any pretence to being
alone sufficient for the proper design of any medical gas system is explicitly disclaimed.
It is BeaconMedæs’ intent that this book should only be used as one tool among many by properly qualified engineers
who are in a position by training and experience to know it’s applications and limitations.
You will find in using the Guide that there are innumerable decisions, judgement calls, and subtleties in the design
of medical gases which cannot be incorporated in any book, but serve to dramatically emphasize the value of the
engineer’s expertise.

A Quick Guide to Configurations
Vertical
Vertical configurations have two Pumps stacked on a single base. This configuration is only suitable for
smaller Pumps or Pumps with very little inherent vibration. It is the most space-efficient of all medical
vacuum configurations, and oil less vertical systems are spectacularly space-efficient.
Single Point Connection (SPC)

In SPC systems, the Pumps are mounted on a base which is large enough to
accomodate all the Pumps and accessories. The system is factory piped and
wired to a single inlet, outlet and electrical connection. They can be partially
disassembled in the field for easier handling. Systems configured this way are
particularly popular with contractors because of the low labor requirement.
Modular
Each Pump, and the controls and receiver are mounted on individual
bases for easy handling and placement where space is at a premium.
These systems are especially well suited for retrofit or replacement
situations. Each module will fit through a standard 3-0 doorframe and
can be handled with a standard pallet jack.
Tank Mount
These systems are mounted atop their receivers and use the receivers for support. In
small sizes they are space efficient and cost effective.
Frame Mount or “with Mounted Tank”

These are a variant of the tankmount systems employed with larger systems which cannot
be mounted on the tank itself. The Pumps and accessories are mounted on a frame with
the tank slung underneath.
