The Mobile Destruction Unit (MDU) provides a unique solution for capturing and removing nitrous oxide from the environment. The MDU provides a mobile destruction platform that captures and breaks down nitrous oxide into nitrogen and oxygen, enabling its users/facilities with a fully mobile scavenging platform.
Wherever, whenever, the MDU can be relocated from treatment room to treatment room enabling flexible and effective scavenging as often as it is required. The MDU purifies over 99% of the nitrous oxide entering the system, creating a safer work environment for healthcare professionals and significantly reducing the climate impact.
The MDU is an ideal solution for scavenging in facilities that don’t currently have an AGSS pipeline system, simply roll the unit in and scavenging can be provided in any given room required.
The MDU has been designed with the mobility needs of healthcare professionals in mind, ensuring easy operation. The unit can accommodate a nitrous oxide cylinder, whether pre-mixed or concentrated, along with an oxygen tube, and if necessary, an associated mixing unit or titration unit.
The MDU can accommodate both inhalation and exhalation equipment, along with gas cylinders. Inhalation devices like demand valves or mixers can be effortlessly mounted onto the MDU. Exhalation tubes are connected to the outlet of the unit for efficient scavenging (collecting and removing) of nitrous oxide from the ambient air, creating a complete closed-loop system.
Reliability
The MDU has been built with a simple design, utilizing few moving parts and components, resulting in high reliability and an extended product lifespan.
The unit also features an integrated control system that continuously monitors various parameters, such as temperature and gas flows. In case of an overload, the MDU automatically shuts down to prevent damage.
Control and monitoring
Upon delivery, the device is configured for remote monitoring, and it is simple to connect the unit to Medclair’s technician for remote monitoring and technical support.
General principle
The MDU is a destruction unit that utilizes a catalytic process to decompose nitrous oxide into regular air. The decomposition process requires a high temperature, and Medclair has developed a unique technique using a heat exchanger and isolation that results in a high degree of energy recycling. This significantly reduces the energy consumption required after the initial heating up of the unit.
Through the use of a catalytic process in the reactor, nitrous oxide in the exhaled air entering the MDU is purified to a degree of over 99%, breaking down the ozone-depleting nitrous oxide into nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which are the primary components of air. Enabling the Healthcare sector to provide the powerful analgesic agent without the impact on the environment and reducing its carbon footprint significantly.
