How should I go about Air Compressor Maintenance?

Dental compressors play an important role in clinics and hospitals. The right way to clean and maintain dental compressors can prolong their service life. This article will explain how to clean and maintain dental compressors.

These knowledge points are listed below.

1. Operation of the dental compressor

2. Cleaning methods of the dental compressor

3. Maintaining the compressor for dental care

Dental compressors are used extensively in the medical field to supply sufficient and clean air for all medical equipment.

1.Operation of a dental compressor

(1) When operating a dental compressor, it is important to pay attention to how long the car takes to start.

(2) After the dental compressor is in an unloaded state, it should be restarted.

(3)The dental compressor should be checked regularly, in addition to the normal operation.

(4) The dental compressor shall be stopped immediately if it detects the following conditions.

2. The cleaning method of the dental compressor

The long-term operation of dental compressor will cause the equipment to be blocked by scale, which will reduce the efficiency, increase the energy consumption and shorten the dental compressor life.If the scale can not be removed in time, will face the risk of equipment maintenance, shutdown or scrap replacement.Long traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical method (shave, brush), high pressure water and chemical cleaning (acid) on a lot of problems: when washing the dental compressor can not completely remove scale and other sediments, and causes corrosion of dental compressor, the residual acid on the material corrosion or corrosion under the scale, eventually led to the replacement equipment, in addition, the cleaning liquid is toxic, need a lot of money for wastewater treatment.Enterprises can use efficient environmental protection cleaning agent to avoid the above situation, it has the characteristics of high efficiency, environmental protection, safety, no corrosion, not only good cleaning effect and no corrosion to the dental compressor, to ensure the long-term use of dental compressor.Consider adding wetting agent and penetrating agent, can effectively remove water equipment produced by the most stubborn scale (calcium carbonate), rust scale, grease, sticky mud and other sediments, and won't cause harm to human body, not of steel, copper, nickel, titanium, rubber, plastic, fiber, glass, ceramics and other material cause erosion, pitting and other harmful reactions such as oxidation, can significantly extend the service life of dental compressor.

3. Maintaining the compressor for dental care

(1) To check that the unit is working normally, turn on the dental compressor. To prepare for maintenance, the dental compressor should be stopped after normal pre-rotation.

(2) Stop the compressor, turn off the power and start maintaining the compressor using the principle of "difficult first easy". Remove all parts that need replacing, and compare the sizes.

Once the confirmation is done, you can begin to remove the replacement screws from the unit.

(3)Install an oil core. Be sure to clean the oil cover.

(4)Oil filter must always be tightened with an oil filter wrench in order to prevent oil from leaking or dripping.

(5) Clean the filter shell, then place the filter in the cleaned filter.

(6) Make sure you tighten the left and right screws.

(7) Power on, turn the engine on and inspect the oil level. Also, check the pipeline interface to see if there are any leakage issues.

(8)Overall, test the unit for between 10-20 minutes. Before you leave, make sure to clean up any oil or accessories.

Other equipment that uses dental air compressors such as: Dental Portable Unit,Dental Delivery Units also need regular maintenance and cleaning
