Atlas Copco mVAC Medical Vacuum Systems mVAC-250 – mVAC-9200

A reliable source of medical vacuum Atlas Copco’s mVAC Medical Vacuum Systems consist of 2 to 6 air-cooled, oil-lubricated rotary vane type vacuum pumps and a central controller with an intelligent graphical user interface. The pumps can work independently to satisfy the required vacuum flow. mVAC systems are suitable for both continuous and frequent start/stop operation. They keep the vacuum level at the point of connection as low as or lower than -600 mbar(e) (-450 mm Hg) at all times. The mVAC system offers (multiple) backup supply in case of failure of individual functional components....

Ultra-reliable A reliable source of medical vacuum is critical to patient safety. The carbon composite material of Atlas Copco’s mVAC pumps will not break down or wear out like laminated blades. And if the central controller should fail, every pump still has its own controller. Every mVAC system is subject to comprehensive Quality Assurance controls, is fully tested prior to dispatch and therefore ensures there will not be service interruptions even in extreme circumstances. Highly connectable Up to six vacuum pumps can be connected in one mVAC system to ensure that even a large hospital...

Quality components for a reliable vacuum 1 Vacuum pump Atlas Copco’s oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps offer high flow capacities. They are simple and economical to install and operate, and are quiet and vibration-free. They provide smooth, pulse-free vacuum and have low starting and running torque. The vanes are constructed from composite material for a long lifetime of use (up to ten years under normal operating conditions) and low noise levels. 2 Motor Optimally sized to suit the demands of frequent starts found in medical applications, each motor is air-cooled by an integral fan...

7 Vacuum vessel The vacuum vessel is a mandatory back-up in the rare occurrence that all vacuum pumps are down. It also acts as a buffer for peaks in the flow demand. Its hot-dipped galvanized finish extends vacuum vessel life by 300% over conventional untreated steel pressure vessels. 6 ES-VAC central controller Developed specifically for medical vacuum applications, the ES-VAC central controller is an intelligent microprocessor-based control system dedicated to controlling up to six vacuum pumps in an mVAC system. It is equipped with the 5.7-inch high-definition color display Elektronikon...

Simple operation for high reliability The vacuum pump at the heart of the Atlas Copco mVAC system is an oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump; one of the simplest and most reliable types of vacuum pump available. Working principle When the eccentrically installed rotor (1) rotates, the centrifugal force pushes vanes (2) towards the wall of the cylinder. The vanes create spaces, or chambers, between the rotor and cylinder. When a particular chamber connects with the inlet channel, air is sucked in. The sucked air is passing over a mesh filter (6) and non-return valve (7). This air is...

Measuring vacuum pressure A vacuum is any pressure in a system that is less than the ambient atmospheric pressure. For medical applications the degree of vacuum is not very high. However, there are two ways of measuring a vacuum pressure: Bar(e) – the effective or gauge pressure – denotes how much the pressure is below local atmospheric pressure Bar(a) – absolute pressure – denotes how much the pressure is above absolute zero vacuum. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1 bar or 1000 mbar. For typical medical applications a vacuum of 600 mbar below atmospheric pressure is...
