Condensate Drain Trap, AIR Filters | Bard P1060A1, P1148A1, P1142A3

3.SLAB MOUNTED AT GROUND LEVEL – This type installation is ideal for homes with a slab floor construction where a roof mounted unit is not desired. The supply and return duct work can be run through a furred closet space.

4.THROUGH THE WALL – This type installation requires a suitable framework to be fabricated capable of withstanding the unit weight. Normally the unit will be insulated so as to minimize supply and return duct work.

5.OTHER INSTALLATIONS – Many other installations are possible with the packaged air conditioner. No matter what the installation, always consider the following facts:

A.Insure that the discharge air is not obstructed inany way so as to cause operation difficulties.

B.The indoor coil drain pan is equipped with a coupling that must be piped through a condensate drain trap to a suitable drain.

C.Always mount the unit is such a position that it may be easily reached for servicing and maintenance.

D.Insure that the unit is clear so that proper air flow over the outdoor coil will be maintained.

If this unit is operated in cooling below a 65° outdoor ambient temperature, the installation of low ambient controls (CMA-6) to unit is required.

CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP

It is very important to provide a trap in the condensate drain line to allow a positive liquid seal in the line and assure correct drainage from the coil condensate pan.

Install condensate drain trap shown in Figure 7. Use drain connection size or larger. Do not operate unit without trap. Unit must be level or slightly inclined toward drain.

With a trap installed on a unit located in an unconditioned area, water in the trap may freeze. It is recommended that the trap material be of a type that will allow for expansion of water when it freezes.

AIR FILTERS

Air filters for the return air side of the system are not provided as part of these models, and must be field supplied and installed as part of the final installation.

Prior thought should be given to return air location and placement of the air filter(s). The air filter(s) must be of adequate size and readily accessible to the operator of the equipment. Filters must be adequate in size and properly maintained for proper operation. If this is not done, excessive energy use, poor performance, and multiple service problems will result. It is impossible to oversize air filters. Generous sizing will result in cleaner air and coils as well as lower operating costs and extend the time between required changes. Table 6 shows minimum filter areas and recommended filter sizes. Actual filter sizes can vary with the installation due to single or multiple returns utilizing a filter/grille arrangement or being placed immediately ahead of the indoor coil face in the return air duct.

P1060A1, P1142A3, P1148A1 specifications

Bard P1148A1, P1142A3, and P1060A1 are high-performance vascular access products designed to meet the diverse needs of medical professionals in various healthcare settings. These devices, developed by Bard, are renowned for their innovative technologies and superior characteristics that enhance patient care and facilitate clinical procedures.

The Bard P1148A1 is a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) designed for long-term intravenous therapy, including chemotherapy and antibiotics. Its key features include a strong yet flexible design that allows for easy insertion and maintenance of the catheter over extended periods. The P1148A1 utilizes advanced materials that minimize the risk of thrombosis and infection, pivotal considerations in central line management. The catheter is equipped with a specialized tip configuration that promotes optimal blood flow and reduces complications.

Moving to the Bard P1142A3, this device serves a similar purpose but incorporates unique technologies that enhance its usability. The P1142A3 boasts a hydrophilic coating which facilitates smoother insertions and reduces friction during catheter placements. This is particularly valuable in pediatric and geriatric populations, where gentler approaches are essential. Additionally, the P1142A3 is engineered with multiple lumens, allowing simultaneous administration of fluids, medications, and blood products. This multipurpose functionality enhances efficiency in clinical settings, reducing the need for multiple venipunctures.

On the other hand, the Bard P1060A1 is designed with a focus on short-term vascular access. This catheter is particularly effective for emergency situations and critical care, offering rapid placement and reliable performance. One of its main characteristics is a streamlined design that minimizes the overall footprint, making it an ideal choice for patients with limited vein access. The P1060A1 is also equipped with a safety mechanism that reduces the risk of accidental needlesticks, addressing a critical safety concern in medical environments.

Overall, Bard's P1148A1, P1142A3, and P1060A1 products exemplify innovation in vascular access technology. With features designed to enhance insertion techniques, improve patient outcomes, and ensure safety in healthcare settings, these catheters stand as key tools in modern medical practice. Their robust design and advanced materials align with the needs of both healthcare providers and patients, making them essential components of effective vascular access strategies.
