Mobile oxygen generation systems, referred to as “Oxygen on Wheels”, designed and developed by Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam, under the auspices of Eastern Naval Command (ENC), were inaugurated by Vice Admiral AB Singh, Commander in Chief of the ENC. on Friday.
Remote hospitals
The technical team at Naval Dockyard designed and developed two systems, each with a capacity of 100 liters per minute, which enable a direct supply to a hospital’s pipeline system.
The trailer-mounted systems can be easily transported to remote hospitals and connected to the hospital’s fixed piping system to serve as main feed for up to 16 beds. The system can also act as a backup to prevent low oxygen pressure incidents in hospitals. Such a system has been designed and implemented to support the state government’s efforts in persistent crises, especially in smaller hospitals and in rural areas that may not have the necessary infrastructure.
