Hardware for central gas supply
A central gas system is a complete installation for internal distribution of gas from a cylinder, bundle or tank to the point of use.
AGA has standard hardware programs for central gas systems depending on customer category and application:
- Industrial hardware program
- LASERLINE® global gas solution.
- SAFUS® hardware program for propane
The basic components in nearly all kind of systems are:
- Gas supply from either manifolds or tanks
- Safety equipment
- Pipelines
- Tapping point
Tank
A cryogenic tank is used for large and stable consumption. The system consists of a super isolated tank and an evaporator. The evaporator transforms the liquid phase to gas phase. The size of the tank is chosen according to the actual gas consumption.
Manifold
The manifold consists of all necessary equipment to connect the cylinder or bundle to the system and supply the pipeline with a given flow and pressure. The capacity of the manifold is decided on basis of maximum consumption. Pressure monitoring of cylinder pressure and semi - automatic changeover function for double sided manifolds, can be delivered to avoid interruption in the process.
Safety equipment
The hardware complies with the relevant standards and regulations for pressurized equipment.
I our standard product range we have safety equipment such as safety valves, flame arrestors, flashback arrestors and non return valves. There can also be customer specified safety equipment such as gas detectors.
Tapping points
The tapping point consists of valve and pressure regulator. The tapping point is specific for the certain gas type. Therefore a wide program of tapping point exist for flammable gases, shielding gases, oxygen etc.
