How much gas does the Whitley DG250 Workstation use?
The Whitley DG250 anaerobic workstation can operate on an anaerobic gas mixture (10% CO2, 10% H2, 80% N2) and nitrogen gas or on anaerobic gas mixture alone. Projected gas usages have been calculated as shown below. Assumptions The following have been used to calculate gas usage a) A normal operating gas requirement of four calls per hour and two timed gas injections b) Three entries into the workstation per working day (assuming the sleeves are evacuated twice and a seven day working week). c) Anaerobic gas mixture cylinder volume 9550L d) Nitrogen gas cylinder volume 9780L. Gas Usage Operation of workstation using anaerobic gas mixture and nitrogen: Expected life of anaerobic gas cylinder 33 weeks Expected life of nitrogen gas cylinder 93 weeks Operation of workstation using anaerobic gas mixture alone: Expected life of anaerobic gas cylinder 24 weeks NB These usage rates are based on calculation: in use rates will depend on local practices.
