Instruction book General description Introduction AGS 510 up to AGS 3770 are blower units, used to create vacuum for the removal of waste anaesthetic gases in theatres. The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) disposal system connects to the patients breathing circuit via a transfer and receiving system and removes expired anaesthetic gas from its source.

Instruction book Simplified schematic of a AGS Duplex installation Exhauster units The exhauster unit is basically an air compressor and consists of an electric motor, directly coupled to an impeller fan. The motor drives the impeller assembly and the airflow is routed to provide a compression cycle. The inlet is connected to the pipeline distribution installation and provides the vacuum and design flow rate at the terminal units.

Instruction book Suction pipe with flow regulating valve Exhaust pipe Motor Blower Electric cabinet Check valve Electric motors The type of electric motor fitted depends upon the exhauster unit model and may require either a single phase or three phase electrical power supply. In addition to driving the impeller assembly, the electric motor also drives its own cooling air flow over the cooling fins.

Instruction book Service diagram AGS Duplex The starter/isolator panel used in a Duplex installation has similar facilities/controls as the Simplex system panel previously described, but incorporates additional features. An additional switch (S) enables selection of a “Duty” pump and sets a particular exhauster unit to operate the system whilst the second exhauster unit remains as “Stand-by”.
Instruction book Flow regulating valve • The system integrity and performance will be impaired if the air inlet to the vacuum/flow regulating valve silencer is obstructed. • Once the regulating valve has been set to produce the system performance, the adjuster must not be moved without carrying out a full system performance check.

For the factory settings, see section Pressure switch.
Instruction book Terminal units Adjustable AGS terminal unit AGS terminal units incorporate a minimum of moving parts and are gas specific. Terminal units of similar design are used in wall, pendant, trunking and hose boom installations and the principle of operation is the same for all installations.
Instruction book Installation instruction Introduction Install the exhauster unit in an area where the noise levels do not cause an inconvenience and adequate ventilation is available for cooling purposes. The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging disposal system should be floor mounted. Bolts used for mounting should be M 8 or similar size. Before commencing installation, check if the electrical data on the pump specification plate/s (positioned under the electrical connection box) are compatible with the local power supply.

Instruction book AGS Duplex Flexible hose non-return valve Drain flask Installation procedure 1. Locate the AGS unit: Move the frame mounted unit into position and drill the floor to receive anchor nuts. Fit mounting bolt anchor nuts into the floor. Choose a suitable position where support for the flexible pipe work can be fitted.

Instruction book Commissioning Introduction Commissioning of the Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging disposal system must be carried out in full after initial installation. Appropriate sections of the commissioning procedure must be carried out post major component change, during the routine maintenance cycle or when the system has been shut down and unused for a period of 4 weeks.

Instruction book Simplex exhauster units 1. Carry out continuity checks on all earth connections between the exhauster unit, starter/isolator panel and remote start switch panels. 2. Check tightness of the exhauster unit mounting bolts and the pipeline connections. 3. Check that the exhaust pipeline from the exhauster unit is routed to discharge the waste gas in a safe area outside the building.

Instruction book 2. Flow regulating valve: If the flow regulating valve is equipped with an air filter (optional), check the air filter element for cleanness. Replace as necessary. 3. Drain valve assembly: Visually inspect the drain valve assembly for serviceability and check that the transparent bowl is clean. Dismantle, clean and replace as necessary in accordance with "Drain valve assembly"...
