Gas panels for gas delivery systems · point-of-use regulator panels, cylinder switchover panels and medical gas control panels, maximum inlet pressure, regulators, valves and gauges, wetted materials, cleanliness and leak integrity
A gas panel brings the regulators, valves and gauges for a gas supply onto one mounting plate or enclosure so that operators can set and watch pressure and flow and shut the gas off at one place. Panels range from point-of-use regulator panels at the bench or tool to cylinder switchover panels at the supply. Ask three things first: which gas and purity, what inlet and delivery pressures and flow, and which cleanliness, leak-tightness and code requirements apply.
Gas control panels for gas delivery systems: point-of-use regulator panels, cylinder switchover and manifold panels, and medical gas control panels. Gas detection and alarm control panels, gas cabinets sold alone and process tool gas sticks are outside this page except where compared.
01
CONCOA, a gas control equipment maker, describes its 53 Series point-of-use panel as a way to control gas pressure and flow at the point of use in process or laboratory applications, and as final pressure control in a gas distribution system. The panel carries up to four high-purity regulators with rear inlet ports, so the inlet piping is hidden behind the panel, and diaphragm outlet valves that control flow and give positive shut-off. [1]
CONCOA's specifications list a maximum inlet pressure of 3,000 psig (210 bar), −40 to 60 °C, a Cv of 0.1, ¼ in FNPT connections and a 14-gauge 304 stainless steel panel. Diaphragms are 316L stainless steel. Cleanliness is stated to meet or exceed CGA G-4.1, with PED 2014/68/EU and ASME B40.1 conformance listed. [1]
AmcareMed lists a medical gas control panel for nitrogen or instrument air that delivers pipeline gas at controlled pressure to surgical tools. A central pressure regulator lets staff adjust output pressure, and the panel has a manual shut-off valve and a 250 psi (1,724 kPa) maximum supply pressure. [4]
Give the supplier the gas and purity grade, the inlet pressure and delivery pressure range, the flow rate, the number of outlets, the connection sizes, the wetted materials, cleanliness and leak-test requirements, any alarm or transducer outputs, the mounting (wall, bench or cabinet) and the codes that apply.
02
CONCOA's 526 Series switchover works by opposing pressure differential: when the primary cylinder runs down, it switches automatically to the reserve side to keep high-purity, non-corrosive gas flowing. Options include a line regulator that holds downstream pressure steady during changeover, purge valves for use after a cylinder change, an outlet valve to isolate the pipeline, and a remote alarm that warns before switchover. [2]
CONCOA lists a maximum inlet pressure of 3,000 psig (210 bar), or 4,500 psig (310 bar) as an option, helium leak integrity of 1×10⁻⁸ scc/s, a Cv of 0.1 and a −40 to 60 °C temperature range. Optional 4–20 mA pressure transducers are listed for 0–6,000 psig, and intrinsically safe versions for 0–5,000 psig. [2]
Editorial calculation: 250 psi is about 17.2 bar; 3,000 psig is about 207 bar gauge; the maker states 210 bar.
03
For toxic laboratory gases, CONCOA offers its regulators and switchover panels mounted in gas cabinets. It describes these as fully enclosed, noncombustible cabinets that protect cylinders, valves, regulators and purge assemblies, built to codes such as NFPA 55 and the International Fire Code. Its C-Series cabinet lists 11-gauge (0.119 in) steel, a 6 in exhaust duct, a sprinkler that activates at 71–74 °C and conformance to NFPA 55, IFC, IBC and SEMI S2-93. [3]
Ask whether your gas, quantity and location require the panel to sit inside a ventilated cabinet, and who is responsible for exhaust and fire protection.
