Medical Oil-free Air Compressor News

At present, countries have implemented corresponding standards for the quality indicators of medical compressed air sources, and have made detailed requirements for oxygen, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), water (H2O), odor, particulate matter, total oil content (oil brought in by the compression process + oil vapor in the air) to ensure that patients are provided with high-quality gases that meet a series of indicators.

In the selection of compressor models in medical systems, national standards are different, such as the British HTM02-01 standard stipulates that air compressors can be in any form, but the gas quality needs to be ensured; The US standard strictly stipulates that the air compressor and the air contact part can not have oil, and this directly affects the oil content of the compressed air exported by the compressor.

At present, the current situation of medical compressed air in China is not optimistic, due to the high price and maintenance cost of oil-free air compressors and the need to configure post-treatment equipment, so a large number of medical units (especially ordinary hospitals other than the top three and some top three hospitals in economically underdeveloped areas) still choose to use oily air compressors + post-treatment equipment as a gas source. This can effectively reduce the budget, but most systems fail to configure stable and reliable oil removal and purification equipment, and the system design has inherent deficiencies, resulting in more maintenance in the later stage, the effect of oil removal is gradually reduced, and the comprehensive investment of personnel and maintenance consumables is not low. Direct pollution and secondary pollution caused by unstable compressed air oil content in the medical system are not uncommon, but the degree of attention paid to it was not high before. At present, food, medicine, and more and more industries have begun to pay more attention to the quality of compressed air, and the demand for compressed air to reach the level of 0 oil-free level is becoming more and more intense.

After this war "epidemic", the country and the people's demand for public health has obviously been more improved, as the most important link in public health hospitals, there will certainly be higher requirements for construction standards, we have reason to believe that as a part of the hospital hardware construction, compressed air oil content will inevitably receive more attention.
