Coaire Solutions for Medical & Healthcare Sector
Medical Air
Medical Air (as it is called in Hospitals), is Compressed Air which is supplied at minimal pressure of 400 kPa at terminal units. It is a gas mixture of Oxygen 20.9% +/-0.5%, balance is Nitrogen, which is purified to meet pharmacopoeia standard and is used as Medical Breathing Air in Hospitals.
Medical Air is used in Hospitals for Mechanical Ventilation, Neonatal Incubator Environment Control, Infant Resuscitation, General Anesthesia, Aerosol Drug Delivery, calibration of Medical Devices for application in respiratory therapy and Hyperbaric Treatments.
Onsite generated medical air has certain quality requirements:
- It must be Oil Free and Moisture Free.
- Dew Point of minus 46 Deg ADP.
- It must be particle free.
- It must be delivered at +/- 400 kPa.
- It shall have no detectable liquid Hydrocarbons.
- It shall have less than 25 ppm gaseous hydrocarbons.
- It shall have less than 1 mg/m3 of permanent particulates, sized 1 micron or larger, at normal atmospheric pressure. (NFPA 99:5.1.3.6.1)
Surgical Air
Compressed Air, used as a Power Source for operating the Surgical Power Tools in the Operating Rooms has been defined as Surgical Air 700 kPa (7 bar) and is supplied in the Hospitals as part of Medical Gas Pipeline System Installation.
Surgical Air 700 kPa, which was earlier known as “Medical Support Gas”, is never used as a “Breathing Gas” like Medical Air 4, but has been used for other, more utilitarian functions, that occur in the hospital, like driving surgical power tools or dental surgical power tools, blowing-off glassware & catheters, moving & braking medical supply pendant units in the operating room & ICUs, for pneumatic tourniquets, or for drying endoscopes, etc.
Onsite generated surgical air has certain quality requirements:
- It must be Oil Free and Moisture Free.
- Dew Point of minus 46 DegADP.
- It must be particle free.
- It must be delivered at +/- 700 kPa.
- It shall have no detectable liquid Hydrocarbons.
- It shall have less than 25 ppm gaseous hydrocarbons.

Medical Air Plant Package
In Coaire’s Medical Air Plant Package air is compressed to the desired pressure which is then passed through a purification (conditioning) process to produce sterile Medical Air for use in hospital and healthcare facilities. It needs to be free of contamination and particles, have no oil or odors, and must be dry to prevent water buildup in facility’s pipeline. So post compressor, air is filtered extensively to remove particulate and gaseous contaminates to an acceptable level as specified in the international standards. Compressed medical air is used for :
- Driving ventilators and incubators.
- Mixing with medical Oxygen
- Carrier gas for anesthetic agent.
- Power source for pneumatic surgical tools
This feature rich package is designed to meet the exacting requirements of the medical industry.
Special Features
- High quality oil-free medical air that is breathable for patients
- The complete plant is on a single platform.
- Connect to the MGPS, switch on and operate.
- Highly efficient oil-free scroll compressor.
- 3 Compressors to comply with IS/ISO 7396-1:2016 & HTM 02-01 requirements
- Medical Air @ 4bar and optional 7 bar.
- Realtime monitoring of CO and Pressure Dew Point (-40ºC)
- 2 Duplex heatless desiccant air dryers
- Plant controls are configured to minimize running cost.
- Alarm and BMS outputs for remote status indication are provided.
- 10″ colorful touch screen and easy-to-use display.
- Automatic / Manual operation features.

Compact Dryers
Compact Heatless Desiccant Dryers – Pneuzorb Series
Pneuzorb comprises of top bottom valve blocks and extruded aluminum twin chambers filled with desiccant, which dries the compressed air as it passes through. One chamber is drying, while the other chamber is regenerating using the Pressure Swing Adsorption Principle. The change over is automatic and controlled by the microprocessor-based controller.
A small amount of the dried compressed air is used to regenerate the saturated desiccant bed by expanding the dry air from line pressure to atmospheric pressure, removing moisture adsorbed by the desiccant and therefore regenerating the dryer.
A particulate cum coalescing filter is installed (optional) before the dryer. After filter cartridges are fitted integrally inside the towers with adequate freeboard space. According to an air quality requirement, suitable microfilter may be installed after the dryer.

Medical Duplex Dryer Package
Medical Duplex Dryer Package
Solid, Liquid and Oil contaminants available in atmospheric air, after compression pollute the compressed air to a considerable degree. These contaminants added with further substances originating from the compressor, pipelines, receivers and air hoses further affects the quality of air. This creates abrasive mixtures which cause damage and user end application machinery/ tools can go wrong.
Compressed air quality is fundamental to reliable and uninterrupted operation of any industrial processes and to the quality of finished product. Coaire can offer Compressed Air Filters in accordance with ISO specified norms of required quality of air for different application by combination of air filters.

Vacuum Filters
Vacuum Filters
In hospitals, Vacuum system is used in surgery and other medical function to provide suction. By this suction, doctors clear the airway of blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions. These secretions are considered biohazard since these may contain bacterial contaminants and should be separated methodically to ensure safe exhaust of air to atmosphere. A bacteria filter installed at the suction side of vacuum pump will separate this bacterial contaminants and ensures the health care facility safe-to-operate.
