Nagpur: There are no more than 1,200 Cryogenic ships that can store liquid oxygen in hospitals throughout the country.
Saving in a cryogenic or liquid form makes oxygen management more easily opposed to rely on a gas cylinder.
The cylinder must be taken to refill which involves a long time.
It has worsened the oxygen crisis during the second wave of Covid-19.
One of the Cryogenic vessels capacity of up to 1,000 liters is equal to at least 160 cylinders of 55 kg capacity.
Cryogenic vessels can be filled right in place by tankers.
Norms for permanent installations and charging lolares in 2016.
The root of the problem may be located in a small space available in a number of hospitals throughout the country, experts said.
The situation is no different in the city.
Maybe because most hospitals are in a rather crowded place, only a handful that is able to install a ship by fulfilling the norm of distance, the source said.
Collection and approval of data under petroleum.
and the Safety Organization (Peso) based in the city.
After 2016, it becomes much easier to have a cryogenic storage ship in the hospital.
The process occurs faster in Covid times.
However, the main criteria include having a certain minimum space.
Even on the higher side it is no more than 7.5 meters for ships that have a capacity of above 10,000 liters.
However, there may be many hospitals that might not have 7.5 meters to reserve, said source.
The criteria are defined in static and cellular static and cellular vessel rules.
To install a vessel of up to 1,000 liters, the distance between two ships must be 0.5 meters; They must be 2 meters from any building or pedestrians.
The distance of three meters must be maintained between vessels and flammable structures, flame, electrical installation or public assembly places.
Distance increases with ship capacity.
Experts say 1,000-liter ships are enough for small or medium hospitals.
However, no more than 80 hospitals have installed 1,000 liter ships.
During the second wave, only 600 hospitals have cryogenic storage facilities.
This has increased slightly more than doubled after that VA only has 160 members.
Marar said at Orange City Hospital they have facilities that make oxygen available much easier during the Covid period.
He accepted that the room was indeed an obstacle in the hospital while saying that norms could be easier.
Aware of the minimum amount is needed for safety purposes.
