Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the bacterial filters in a vacuum system?
Bacterial filters prevent infectious bio-aerosols and fluids pulled from patients from entering the vacuum pumps and venting into the environment, protecting equipment and hospital staff.
Why is a vacuum receiver vessel necessary?
The receiver vessel stores vacuum capacity, which reduces the frequency of pump starts and stops. This helps maintain stable pipeline pressures and extends the lifespan of the motors.
What is the difference between rotary vane and claw vacuum pumps?
Rotary vane pumps use lubricating oil to achieve high vacuum levels at lower initial costs. Claw pumps operate dry without oil, requiring less maintenance and reducing oil disposal requirements.
How is vacuum pressure regulated in the hospital?
The central PLC control panel monitors pressure in the receiver tank. It starts and stops pumps to keep the vacuum level between -450 mmHg and -600 mmHg, while bedside regulators adjust pressure for the patient.
How often should bacterial filters be replaced?
Bacterial filters should be replaced every 6 months, or sooner if the differential pressure gauge shows the filter is loaded, to prevent suction loss.
