Dental Compressed Air Systems.

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to update guidelines on dental compressed-air systems (DCA). Much of the information was obtained from a survey of 128 compressed air systems throughout the Air Force. Air quality requirements are outlined. The general design and description of each part of a typical system is analyzed. Information needed to design a DCA system for a new facility is discussed. Many types of compressors are available and are being used by dental facilities. This report describes the general function of each type of compressor, listing advantages and disadvantages of each. Other components of the DCA system are also reviewed. certain unique problems that may be of interest to some installations are discussed. Whenever possible, selection recommendations are made.
