What is the medical air compressor used?

To put it bluntly, it is the machine in the hospital that is specially responsible for "making clean air. The air we usually breathe cannot be used by patients after direct compression. There is dust, moisture and oil in it. Therefore, this machine is needed to suck in ordinary air, press it hard, and then remove all the bad things inside. Finally, clean and safe compressed air is sent out for use in various parts of the hospital.

What's all this clean air?

Too much use. The small electric drill used by the doctor in the dental office to drill your teeth is driven by compressed air. When doing orthopedic surgery in the operating room, the pneumatic bone drill and pneumatic saw used by the doctor are also powered by compressed air. There are also ventilators in the intensive care unit, the kind of equipment that helps patients breathe, which also requires compressed air to operate. At ordinary times, when you have a cold and cough, you turn the liquid medicine into a fine mist for you to inhale, and the air behind your back is also compressed air. When doing laparoscopic surgery, it is necessary to inflate the patient's stomach to open up the space, which is convenient for doctors to operate. This kind of air is still used. It can be said that many equipment related to the treatment and safety of patients in the hospital are inseparable from it.

Then why do many hospitals start to lubricate air compressors with water to do this job now?

Most of the previous compressors used oil to lubricate the internal parts of the machine. Although the oil can make the machine turn smoothly, it is inevitable that a little oil will be mixed into the air. If the oil is sucked into the lungs of the patient, the problem will be big. So now many hospitals choose to replace the water-lubricated air compressor. Its reason is very simple, is to use water instead of oil, so that the water inside the machine to play a role in lubrication and heat dissipation of various parts. When water is running, a water film will be formed on the surface of the parts, allowing the parts to slide smoothly, while taking away the heat generated by friction. Because the whole process uses water and does not involve oil at all, there will be no oil in the air, and the possibility of pollution has been eliminated from the beginning. Moreover, the water can be recycled repeatedly in the machine, and can be used continuously after being treated after being used up. It will not deteriorate or produce sludge after being used for a long time like oil. The whole process is cleaner, greener and more reassuring.

Therefore, to sum up briefly, medical air compressors are equipment specially designed to produce clean compressed air for hospitals, while water-lubricated air compressors make the produced air purer because they replace oil with water. They are especially suitable for use in hospitals, which have extremely high air quality requirements and silently guard the safety of patients.
