Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

Our engineering team here at Masterflow were engaged to design and supply monitoring equipment for the operating theatre chairs. Masterflow’s reputation as a supplier of premium quality and reliability, was chosen to provide this level of protective monitoring device for the hospital’s state-of-the-art, Multi-million dollar medical equipment. Predominantly the temperature within the rooms is crucial to ensuring the medical equipment operates correctly. Within the plantroom, Masterflow was also employed to provide expansion vessel equipment, for the protection of the chilled water plant from over-pressuring. As with any closed-loop chilled water circuit, an expansion tank is always necessary in order to absorb the pressure changes that result from the constant changes in temperature. As temperature increases, so does the pressure. Without an expansion tank installed, the valves, equipment or pipework will suffer strain and eventually fail from the absence of the pressure escaping. In the event of a highly charged pressure situation, the Masterflow relief valve installed on the expansion tank will release pressure providing a further means of protection on the system.
