Nitrous Oxide Cracking Technology
Nitrous Oxide Cracking Technology
Part number:
The Medclair Mobile Destruction Unit (MDU) is an innovative solution which collects residual nitrous oxide from exhaled air and subsequently destroys the gas.
How it Works
- The exhaled breath containing nitrous oxide is collected via the Ultraflow analgesic demand valve into the MDU.
- A catalytic process in the reactor breaks down nitrous oxide (N2O) at high reaction temperatures into oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2).
- The hot purified air is led into the heat exchanger, where the heat is recycled to warm up the incoming exhaled air.
- The cooled harmless purified air is released into the atmosphere.
- An integrated control system monitors the process and can be read remotely via a web interface.
- The reaction that converts N2O to O2 and N2 is virtually self-sustaining. Once at operating temperature, there is almost no power required to maintain the reaction temperature.
