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.

Medical Vacuum (Suction) Source Systems
Introduction
Medical vacuum is, compared to other medical gas
source systems, quite straightforward. The most
difficult part of the process comes in the selection of
the technology to be used because there are so many
competing technologies, each with their own appeal
and it must be said, their own warts. NFPA and CSA
standards have relatively few requirements and those are
readily met, so the decision becomes a balancing of the
clients’s concerns for risk, initial cost vs. life cycle cost,
and maintenance requirements.
Engineers use the term “vacuum”, but clinicians use
the term “suction”, and if you have occasion to speak
with the clinicians, you’ll find the terminology subtlely
different. In addition, although the average clinician
cannot articulate it, their major concern is flow. It is quite
common to have a maintenance man, having been called
because of “poor suction”, plug in a vacuum guage and
quite accurately tell the complaining nurse “you got all I
got”. He’s right in terms of vacuum level, but the nurse is
really complaining that she has no flow.
If we are to complete a successful design, we must grapple
this problem all the way through the system. Providing
flow is primarily a piping problem which we will deal
with in Chapter 11, but this distinction is important to
understand because it affects pump selection as well.
Giving a higher ultimate vacuum may be helpful, but it
rarely solves a problem of flow. Only fat pipes can do
that. Seeking a high vacuum level may actually waste
our client’s money and provide no solution to their real
problem.
The methods for sizing vacuum sources are always a
surprise to new engineers, because there are so many
(we present three here) and because the most commonly
used are so poorly documented. The CGA P-2.1 has
been withdrawn by it’s publisher, the Compressed Gas
Association. It was essentially unchanged since the
1970’s, but there is almost nothing but the patina of
age to substantiate the numbers it contains. The NFPA
method was removed from the NFPA 99 because it too
was considered out of date. Fortunately, it at least has a
research history. We continue to use these two in the US
because we have used them for so long we understand
their limitations, and we know from experience that they
do work.

The HTM method is published in the HTM 2022 standard,
and is the method used in the U.K. We have included it
here as an additional method for comparison.
Step One: Discovery
? 1. If existing equipment is to be retained in
service, determine (by actual observation
if possible) the type, size, capacity and
current loading. Ensure the existing equipment is compliant
with the current standard.
2. Determine the number type and inlet count of all
occupancies in the facility which will receive medical
vacuum inlets.
3. Determine if there are unusual circumstances which
may increase vacuum use. A classic example is the long
term care facility where wheelchair bound ventilator
patients are taught to suction their own airway. Suction
demand is enormous, because they leave the suction lines
open constantly. A system sized using traditional criteria
would burn itself out in a matter of months under such a
load.
4. Examine the location intended for the exhaust. NFPA
mandates the exhaust be outdoors, 3m (10 feet) from any
other opening, at a different level (usually lower) than any
air intake, and in a location unlikely to blow contaminated
air where people are likely to be or where it cannot
disperse. (Ref. NFPA 99 5.1.3.6.7)
Ensure the exhaust (or the intended location for the
exhaust) is located away from all other vents, windows,
and especially away from any intakes (e.g. compressed air
intakes, HVAC intakes).
5. Determine a routing for the exhaust piping and note it
on the building drawings.
6. Ensure the intended location for the vacuum plant is
adequately ventilated or is air conditioned. The plant will
discharge considerable heat into the enclosure, which must
be factored in when selecting a pump site, determining
the adequacy of ventilation, or BTU requirements for air
conditioning. (BTU data is furnished on the equipment
data sheets.)

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.

Detail 6.9 for an explanation of the different architectures).
Where more than one architecture is available, choose the
one best suited to the site conditions. If in doubt as to the
best system architecture for a particular situation, contact
your BeaconMedæs representative for assistance.
4. Reference the system information (SSB sheet) for the
particular system selected (Ref. Details 6.13-6.17 for
System Selection Tables) This sheet contains all the vital
information about the system and should be pulled out for
quick reference in all the following steps.
Step Seven: Layout
1. Place the plant in scale on the plan drawings in the
location selected. Ensure that the plant has sufficient space
on all sides for maintenance access and proper ventilation.
In front, the control cabinet must have 36” clearance, and
BeaconMedæs recommends 92 cm (3 feet) minimum
Medical Vacuum (Suction)
clearance on the other sides. It is somtimes possible to
reduce this clearance with exact knowledge of maintenance
access requirements. Consult with your BeaconMedæs
representative if circumstances allow less space.
2. Place the equipment in elevation views as appropriate.
3. On the plans, finalize the routing for the exhaust.
4. Size the exhaust piping. A quick reference for exhaust
sizing is contained in Detail 6.11. The sizing process is
iterative:
a. Start with the total actual length of piping, and based
on Detail 6.11 make an estimate for the line size.
b. Using your estimated size, add equivalent lengths for
the fittings employed.
c. Check the size is still acceptable at the new equivalent
length. If not, re-estimate the next larger size and repeat

The line may also be more accurately sized by actual
calculation. Intake piping must be sized to induce no
more than 100mm (4 inches) water column backpressure
at the pump outlet when all pumps are running. (use
total capacity for this calculation not NFPA capacity).
For unusual lengths or other circumstances, contact your
BeaconMedæs representative for assistance.

1. In section 2.3 D of the Guide specification, select
the sections appropriate to the technology and system

2. Write into the specification any
exceptional requirements (soft starters, etc.).
3. Schedule on the drawings the vacuum
plant selected. Schedule at least:
a. The capacity per pump (per NFPA) and total system.

c. Voltage, Hz, and phase desired.
Notes on the System Selection Tables (Detail 6.13-6.17)
These tables represent standard systems and configurations
and do not represent all configurations.
In particular:
Envelope dimensions do not include maintenance space.
BeaconMedæs recommends 92 cm. (36 in.) on all sides,
but less space may be possible with an understanding of
the system maintenance requirements. In all cases the
National Electrical Code requires a minimum clearlnce of
914 mm (36 in.) in fron of the control cabinet.
Page 12
Contact your BeaconMedæs representative if you need to
fit the systems in smaller spaces.
All systems listed have the standard receivers. Larger
receivers usually change the envelope dimensions.
The Modular system’s envelope dimensions shown
represent a typical arrangement for minimum floor
space. However, modular systems are easily located
wherever appropriate, which will change the dimensional
requirements. Envelope dimensions for modular systems
should be used only as rough guides.
More details on all dimensions will be found on the SSB
sheets for the system selected, and the SSB sheet should
be consulted when doing final layout.

LifeLine® Oil-Less O2 Assured Claw Medical Vacuum

Modular Duplex System (5 - 15 HP)
SPECIFICATION

Vacuum System Intake Piping

The duplex medical vacuum system is fully compliant with
the latest edition of NFPA 99. The package consists of two,
oil-less, rotary claw vacuum pumps, a control panel, and a
receiver sized for appropriate demand. The vacuum module
has a common intake manifold. The vacuum module is
designed to accommodate a standard pallet jack. The receiver
is ASME coded and has a three-valve bypass system to allow
for draining of the receiver without interrupting the vacuum
service. A manual drain is provided on the receiver. The
package is completely tested prior to shipment.
Vacuum Pump
Each pump is a direct driven, non-contacting claw type,
capable of operating at 27” Hg (sea level) continuous duty for
a 5 hp, and 22.5” Hg (sea level) continuous duty for the 7.5,
10 & 15 hp. The pumping chamber is oil free. The pump is
completely air-cooled with no water requirements. The pump
has an inlet air filter and is equipped with a vacuum relief
valve, check valve to prevent backflow through off-cycle
units, flexible connector, isolation valve, high discharge
temperature switch, high inlet vacuum switch, oil drain valve,
oil sight glass, and exhaust muffler at each pump location.
Vacuum Pump Drive
The pump is direct driven. Torque is transmitted from the
motor to the pump through a shaft coupling. The claws are
synchronized by heavy-duty precision timing gears.
Vacuum Pump Motor
The motor is a continuous duty, NEMA rated, C-face, TEFC,
3450 RPM, suitable for 208 or 230/460V, 60 hertz, 3-phase
electrical service.
Each vacuum pump has a factory piped intake with integral
flex connector, isolation valve, and check valve.
Interconnecting piping consists of black iron pipe and fittings.
Vacuum Receiver
The vacuum receiver is ASME Code stamped, and rated for a
minimum 150 PSIG design pressure.
Control System
The duplex control system is NEMA 12 and U.L. labeled. The
control system provides automatic lead/lag sequencing, circuit
breaker disconnects with external operators for each vacuum
pump, full voltage motor starters with overload protection,
and redundant 120V control circuit transformers. The control
system provides visual and audible reserve unit alarm for high
discharge temperature and high inlet vacuum shutdowns with
isolated contacts for remote alarm, hand-off-auto lighted
selector switches and runtime hourmeters. A programmable
logic controller (PLC) controls the automatic alternation of the
vacuum pumps with provisions for simultaneous operation
along with the automatic activation of reserve unit if required.
A vacuum gauge is provided in the control panel.
Oxygen Compatibility
Each vacuum pump is capable of operating safely with up to
60% oxygen content in the compression chamber. All parts in
contact with the flow stream, gear casing, and bearing
surfaces are cleaned with oxygen compatible cleaner. The
pump is assembled and tested in a clean room with dedicated
tools. The inlet filter is constructed of a fiberglass media to
insure there is no fuel to ignite in the compression chamber.
The lubricant in the gear casing as well as the grease used to
lubricate the bearings (10 & 15 hp models only) is a special
oxygen compatible formula. Safe for all WAGD applications.

"oil-less" rotary claw vacuum pumps, a control panel, and a
receiver sized for appropriate demand all mounted on a
common base frame. The receiver is ASME coded and has a
three-valve bypass system to allow for draining of the receiver
without interrupting the vacuum service. A manual drain is
provided on the receiver. Each pump and the receiver is
connected to a common intake manifold. A single point of
connection to the intake of the system is provided. A single
point of connection to the electrical panel of the system is also
provided. The package is completely tested prior to shipment.
Vacuum Pump
Each pump is a direct driven, non-contacting claw type,
capable of operating at 27” Hg (sea level) continuous duty for
a 5 hp, and 22.5” Hg (sea level) continuous duty for the 7.5,
10 & 15 hp. The pumping chamber is oil free. The pump is
completely air-cooled with no water requirements. The pump
has an inlet air filter and is equipped with a vacuum relief
valve, check valve to prevent backflow through off-cycle
units, flexible connector, isolation valve, high discharge
temperature switch, high inlet vacuum switch, oil drain valve,
oil sight glass, and exhaust muffler at each pump location.
Vacuum Pump Drive
The pump is direct driven. Torque is transmitted from the
motor to the pump through a shaft coupling. The claws are
synchronized by heavy-duty precision timing gears.
Vacuum Pump Motor
The motor is a continuous duty, NEMA rated, C-face, TEFC,
3450 RPM, suitable for 208 or 230/460V, 60 hertz, 3-phase
electrical service.
Intake Piping
Each vacuum pump has a factory piped intake with integral
flex connector, isolation valve, and check valve.
Interconnecting piping consists of black iron pipe and fittings.
Vacuum Receiver
The vacuum receiver is ASME Code stamped, and rated for a
minimum 150 PSIG design pressure.
Control System
The duplex control system is NEMA 12 and U.L. labeled. The
control system provides automatic lead/lag sequencing, circuit
breaker disconnects with external operators for each vacuum
pump, full voltage motor starters with overload protection,
and redundant 120V control circuit transformers. The control
system provides visual and audible reserve unit alarm for high
discharge temperature and high inlet vacuum shutdowns with
isolated contacts for remote alarm, hand-off-auto lighted
selector switches and runtime hourmeters. A programmable
logic controller (PLC) controls the automatic alternation of the
vacuum pumps with provisions for simultaneous operation
along with the automatic activation of reserve unit if required.
A vacuum gauge is provided in the control panel.
Oxygen Compatibility
Each vacuum pump is capable of operating safely with up to
60% oxygen content in the compression chamber. All parts in
contact with the flow stream, gear casing, and bearing
surfaces are cleaned with oxygen compatible cleaner. The
pump is assembled and tested in a clean room with dedicated
tools. The inlet filter is constructed of a fiberglass media to
insure there is no fuel to ignite in the compression chamber.
The lubricant in the gear casing as well as the grease used to
lubricate the bearings (10 & 15 hp models only) is a special
oxygen compatible formula. Safe for WAGD applications.
