You can calculate the total amount based on the number of beds and departments. For example, each bed in a general ward typically requires about 0.5-1 liter of oxygen per minute, while patients in the ICU need 5-10 liters per minute. The operating room should also have some extra oxygen reserves to accommodate different surgeries. It is recommended to add 20%-30% to the calculated amount to prevent insufficient supply in case of emergency rescue, additional beds, or equipment maintenance. Additionally, different scenarios have different requirements for oxygen. General wards require a purity of over 93% and a stable flow rate.
The ICU requires a purity of over 95% and the ability to quickly adjust the flow rate without oxygen interruption. The neonatal department has even stricter requirements, demanding a purity of 99.5% and precise control of the flow rate. When choosing, you should select the corresponding generator based on the specific scenario.
