2.5 Mechanical subsystems
Refer to the system connection block diagram in Section 9 of the Aestiva
Anesthesia Machine Service Manual for the complete pneumatic/mechanical
subsystem.
The mechanical subsystem includes:
Pneumatic Engine
• Drive gas inlet filter
• Gas inlet valve
• Supply gas pressure regulator
• Flow control valve
• Drive gas check valve
• Mechanical Overpressure Valve (MOPV)
• Bleed resistor
• Free breathing valve
Drive gas pressure limit switch
Exhalation valve
Breathing circuit flow sensors
Bellows assembly
2.5.1 Supply gas
Supply gas (can be selected from O
2
or Air) is supplied from the anesthesia
machine at a pressure of 241 to 690 kPa (35 to 100 psi). This supply gas is
filtered through the 5 micron filter to remove any minute particles of
contaminate. The filter does not significantly lower the output pressure on the
downstream side of the filter.
