CENTRALISED COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY

Oil-free compressed air systems for medical applications in hospitals and medical practices

Reliable medical compressed air for safe patient care

Medical compressed air supplies in hospitals are subject to particularly high standards regarding air availability and purity. Consequently, only clean, dry and consistent medical compressed air is suitable for patient care. Dürr Technik’s oil-free compressed air systems guarantee the high quality required for this purpose. Our products feature an electronic control system to ensure a redundant medical gas supply; they are environmentally friendly and virtually maintenance-free.Dürr Technik’s P2B-304MS and P4B-304MS compressor stations provide an optimal supply of medical compressed air for smaller hospitals, day clinics and group practices. These stations can also be used in laboratories for centralised compressed air supply. Our compressed air systems for hospitals and laboratories are ideally suited to producing exceptionally pure air.

Innovative membrane drying technology for medical compressed air supply

Surgical and medical compressed air is supplied via a central compressed air system, which is connected to the relevant supply points via a pipework system. Ambient air is drawn in, compressed by oil-free compressors and dried using our innovative membrane drying technology. In addition, our fine filter ensures the highest air quality.

Dry and clean air in accordance with ISO

8573-1. Our membrane drying system delivers dry and clean air in accordance with ISO 8573-1 in a fully automatic process. The dried air is stored directly in the pressure vessel. Our membrane dryers impress with their economical purge air consumption and 100% availability in continuous operation.

Use of medical compressed air in hospitals in accordance with DIN ISO 7396-1

Since April 2000, medical compressed air has been clearly regulated in the European Pharmacopoeia and is classified as a medicinal product. Under these regulations, its use is permitted only in specific areas. Medical compressed air in hospitals is used to ventilate patients, power surgical and medical devices and instruments, supply anaesthesia systems and ceiling-mounted supply units, and forms part of many different reprocessing procedures

Examples of applications for compressed air systems in hospitals

Operation of surgical and medical instruments
Anaesthetic gas distribution systems
Breathing air for patients
Drying of medical devices
Hyperbaric chambers

Questions and Answers

Analytical instruments require oil-free, dry and particle-free compressed air. These requirements usually correspond to the compressed air classes set out in ISO 8573-1, typically Class 1:3:1, in order to prevent measurement errors and contamination.

Rheometers often use compressed air for air bearings. Oil or moisture can impair the bearing’s function and adversely affect measurement accuracy.

Yes, if designed appropriately, a central compressed air station can supply several analysers. Alternatively, decentralised solutions such as the SICOLAB mini are a sensible option for individual units.

The SICOLAB is designed for higher flow rates and centralised applications, whilst the SICOLAB mini offers a compact solution for individual workstations and smaller analytical instruments.

Oil-free laboratory compressors significantly reduce maintenance requirements, as no oil changes are required and the risk of contamination is minimised.
