#Lab Air Compressor

[pattonsmedical-blog]

AN OVERVIEW ON MEDICAL AIR PACKAGES

A patient in the hospital who needs assistance breathing, either during surgery or through a ventilator, is administered medical air. Medical Air is defined in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 99 2018 in 5.1.3.6.1 to have the following characteristics:

It shall be supplied from cylinders, bulk containers, or medical air compressor sources, or it shall be reconstituted from oxygen USP and oil-free, dry nitrogen NF. It shall meet the requirements of medical air USP. It shall have no detectable liquid hydrocarbons. It shall have less than 25 parts per million (ppm) gaseous hydrocarbons. It shall have equal to or less than one milligram per cubic meter (mg/m3) of permanent particulates sized one micron or larger in the air at normal atmospheric pressure. The air is delivered through a distribution piping system that ends with a medical air outlet within the room. Outlet requirements per room are governed by American Institute of Architects (AIA) Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities.

Equipment is plugged into the medical air outlet to treat the patient. Many studies have been done determining the load required for medical air compressors. The sizing can be calculated using several methods. The U.S. Typical Method is the standard calculation for medical air in the United States. To calculate by this method the following steps are taken:

Count all outlets that will be served by this system by occupancy. Multiply by simultaneous use factor. Add the sum of all occupancy. Add the number of ventilators. This sizing process attempts to size by “worst case scenario,” which means all rooms would be occupied and using some amount medical air. Ventilators being the largest consumer of medical air especially adds to the total. It is highly unlikely all outlets would be used at one time in a facility; however, the facility has to be prepared and equipped for that scenario. This leaves many facilities frustrated with what they consider grossly oversized medical air compressors.

Medical Air Central Supply Systems NFPA 99 5.1.3.6 details the requirements and the limitations of medical air central supply systems and their installation within a healthcare facility in the United States. The defining requirement 5.1.3.6.2 Uses of Medical Air states that medical air sources shall be connected to the medical air distribution system only and shall only be used for human respiration and calibration of medical devices for respiratory equipment.

Medical air cannot be used in central sterile, to run instruments, or any other use outside of patient respiration. Therefore, multiple air compressors are used within a healthcare facility, but this article will only focus on Medical Air Central Supply Systems.

Oil free air compressors are used to eliminate the potential for hydrocarbons. The most common technologies are scroll, reciprocating, and rotary screw air compressors. In addition to the air compressor, the package normally contains aftercoolers, dryers, filters, receiver and monitoring equipment, such as a dewpoint monitor and CO monitor.

Lab Air Compressor Redundancy Requirement: An Important Sizing Factor No one point of failure is allowed to ensure patient safety. NFPA 5.1.3.6.3.9 (B) states that medical air compressors shall be sufficient to serve the peak calculated demand with the largest single air compressor out of service. In no case shall there be fewer than two air compressors.

This means redundancy is required and one air compressor is never allowed. The smallest would be a duplex package. The redundancy also applies to filtration and dryers as well. When sizing an air compressor, it is important to size with the load being maintained even with one unit out of service. Therefore, in a triplex skid, two air compressors can run with one as backup. A quad package can run three and so on. The air compressors will still all run in sequence to maintain even run life on all the air compressors.

An efficient way to meet the peak calculated demand and satisfy the redundancy requirement is with multiplexing smaller horsepower (hp) units. In the past, large industrial air compressors were installed, with large being 30- or 50-hp in medical air applications. This means if one Operating Room is put into use, or one ventilator is brought on-line, a 30-hp air compressor would be started up to meet the demand. This air compressor would run two to three minutes, meet demand, and shut off. This cycle is repeated throughout the life of the unit.

By multiplexing smaller hp air compressors, such as 10- or 15 -hp machines, a facility can reduce their electrical consumption. When a demand is created only one air compressor runs. If that one air compressor cannot meet the demand, then another air compressor can come on and so forth (with one staying off for redundancy). Therefore, the facility is running one 15-hp air compressor versus a 30-hp machine. In the majority of applications, only one air compressor handles the load.

Multiplexing also allows for expandability. Healthcare construction projects are often open-ended leaving flexibility in the services that the hospital is going to provide. Also, due to budget constraints, sometimes space is left shelled for future expansion. Instead of guessing at the future or sizing for future, it is possible to put expandable panels and leave space on skids for future modules. This keeps capital costs down, and the facility will have a clearer understanding of its medical air usage.

Finally, multiplexing multiple scroll air compressors takes dramatically less space, saves considerable money on installations and has lower capital costs than Variable Speed Drive (VSD) rotary screw air compressors. Pattons Medical can have a complete medical air package with multiple scroll air compressors shipped as a complete single point connection package. In new construction, this will save the contractor any additional piping and electrical wiring for components. There would be a braze for the inlet/outlet and one wiring connection. For replacement equipment, the skids can be broken apart to fit through a 30-inch door and have unions for the connections when put in place.

The Ins and Outs of Desiccant Dryer Technology Dryers are an integral part of the medical air compressor package and can have an impact on the sizing and efficiency. To maintain the requirement of a maximum dewpoint of 32 °F at 50 to 55 psi at any level of demand, and allow for flexibility in skid design, desiccant dryers have become the standard for medical air packages. They perform well in low-flow conditions that are common with medical air demand.

Desiccant dryers utilize towers that contain cartridges of activated alumina. The cartridge design versus loose desiccant eliminates dusting from desiccant and is sized based on demand. Therefore, the amount of air purged will be dramatically reduced requiring less demand from the air compressor. Desiccant dryers require a purge to regenerate the desiccant to continue the ability to dry the air. It is imperative for efficiency with medical air to utilize controls for demand-based purging. The dewpoint is monitored through the dewpoint sensor. In demand-based purging, the purge does not take place until the dewpoint reaches 14 °F. This almost eliminates the air compressor running for purge outside of demand. Another benefit is the dryer can be mounted horizontally or vertically to achieve smaller footprints of the overall package.

Meeting the Needs of Smaller Healthcare Facilities During the last 15 years, smaller healthcare facilities have been built to offer less acute services. These facilities are either located on the campus of larger hospitals or found as standalone buildings.

Medical Air dryers For these applications the sizing of the medical air is the same, however, the loads are much smaller. High-pressure manifolds utilizing medical air cylinders are allowed by code to deliver medical air. This requires the owner to make a financial decision of either a larger capital cost of an air compressor or the ongoing operational cost of purchasing medical gas cylinders.

If the owner decides to install a medical air compressor, the space allotted for medical air compressors is usually quite small. The location is also much closer to patients than in a large hospital setting. This led to the scroll type air compressors being used for medical air. Scroll units are much quieter and smaller than either of the reciprocating or screw type. By utilizing vertical tank configurations and appropriately sized desiccant dryers the skids can be as small as three by four feet.

Involve Medical Gas Specialists in the Process It is imperative in a replacement scenario that a facility meet with a medical gas specialist to have a medical gas survey completed. This will confirm the sizing done initially for the facility was accurate and will address any changes in acuity or services since the original air compressor was installed. The medical gas specialist will confirm the outlet counts, interview respiratory therapist, and determine if there are any code issues that will need to be addressed with a replacement. Specifically, that the inlet is code compliant and the master alarm panels have the appropriate points. Oftentimes this is missed and can affect the new air compressor being certified.

Watching the Lab Rats episode The Bionic 500 is actually really funny as someone who grew up working around race cars and riding in them every summer.

[cryptotheism]

Lilly: Good morning New Babel, you're listening to Screw Loose, your favorite early-morning exo rig and rig maintenance rig show this side of the white river, I'm Lilly.

The bear: and I'm the bear, and you, are on the air. What can we help you with?

Caller: Hi girls, big fan of the show. My name is Thari, I'm a biomachinist from Broadshore. I recently picked up a vintage rig and I was hoping I could get some expert advice for restoring her.

The Bear: Hey d'you hear that? That's the sound of Lil drooling.

Lilly: Hey hey now, I'm a woman of taste, I'm not gonna drool until I know what she's running here. C'mon doll tell us whatcha got.

Thari: So, so get this. I'm a biomachinist by trade. For the lab I've got a Polaris H450, but I do some derby racing on the side. And I recently came into possession of a Ghizra-Sar Manta S2.

[The hosts begin laughing]

Lilly: Now hold on- hold on-

The Bear: Listeners, If you could hear that sound it was Lilly's mandibles hitting the floor.

Lilly: What- hold on now- explain how you got this. What condition is it in.

Thari: I bought it off a lovely old woman near Four Sisters. It had just been sitting in her garage, untouched, for oh- hell I dunno, damn near twenty years now. Fits like a glove too.

Lilly: What a find!

The Bear: (laughing) Now you said "came into posession of." Doll it sounds like you stole this thing.

Thari: I did not! Well-

[the hosts continue to laugh]

Lilly: Shh shh, you have the rig don't blow this.

The Bear: Well what!?

Thari: I may have, uh- bought it for cheaper than I should have.

Lilly: (laughing) I cannot believe you! You took advantage of a poor old woman and her untouched vintage rig!

Thari: (laughing) She interviewed me! She interviewed me and she said she was very happy I had the rig now!

The Bear: (laughing) Oh suuuuuure. Oh sure. So doll, whats the problem with it.

Thari: Well. I think its haunted.

[Both hosts laugh uproariously at this.]

Thari: I think her dear departed husband is haunting this thing.

Lilly: Listen listen we do rig maintenance, ghosts are a different show.

The Bear: So how exactly does this haunting manifest?

Thari: It's a rattling sound. Here's the thing, It's fine for about twenty minutes, but once I get the actions hot, It makes this annoying regular rattling sound, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where its coming from.

The Bear: You took it to a shop to get a checkup right?

Thari: Oh yeah, I watched em rack it, run all the diagnostics, checked the gyros, the compressor, the respirator, the arm, knee, and hip augurs. Nothin'

The Bear: Lilly, you take point on this one.

Lilly: If it starts up after 20 minutes its definitely not the gyros or the augurs, Mantas are high-quality derby rigs, so those are hot by the time the time your neurohelix jacks in.

The Bear: It could be a loose suspension ring.

Lilly: No no not on a manta. They've got solid body suspension. The S2 specifically has these gorgeous bracers built right into the slide rails. The shins are one solid piece of bioceramic.

The Bear: Alright professor what's Thari's problem then.

Lilly: I'm gettin' to it! I'm gettin to it! its gotta be the compressor, or something in the respirator.

The Bear: Question doll, when it's cold out, does the rattling slow down? When you try and jump in the rig, does the sound speed up or slow down at all?

Thari: Actually, now that you mention it, no it stays the same the whole time.

Lilly: You've got a loose baffle in the muffler. Once the air pressure in that thing hits capacity, you're rattling a loose piece of metal against it. Which, unfortunately, means you're probably gonna have to replace one of the exhaust wings.

Thari: Oh my gods that's gotta be it! Thank you so much!

The Bear: Speaking of shelling out money, how much did you pay for that thing.

Thari: I paid uh, twenty five thousand rai for it.

Lilly / The Bear: (simultaneously) What! You got scammed!

[everyone on call laughs]

The Bear: Alright doll, good luck with your museum piece, I hope we helped!

Thari: Thanks girls, it was a riot as always!

[The caller hangs up]

This is a little side story in a larger work, which can be read here.

[crazyunsexycool]

Bucky - Lottie baby you cannot kiss Tommy, in fact you cannot kiss boys, they have cooties, it's disgusting

Lottie - Eww daddy

*Lottie sees Bucky and Sugar kissing each other next morning*

Lottie yells - Eww Mommy! You cannot kiss boys! Boys have cooties, Daddy is a boy! Daddy you gonna get mommy yucky! Move away and pushes Bucky away from sugar

😂😭

If she can’t get kisses no one can! Also Lottie is so dramatic that she’s going to take this to the extreme.

Warning: super barely there implied smut...

Boys have cooties

“Doll,” Bucky says as he has yet another conversation about Lottie and her friend that is a boy, not to be confused with boyfriend, Tommy. He’d never allow her to have a boyfriend ever. “You can’t give Tommy kisses.”

“But why?”

“Because 1. You’re not supposed to have a boyfriend and 2. You’re too little.”

“Am not. And mama gabe you kisses.”

“Yeah but…” Bucky had no argument so he did the only thing he could, he went with a childish answer. “Boys have cooties. And they’re yucky. Not cute at all, they can ruin your dresses.”

“No!”

“Yes and your bows. Cooties get everywhere if you kiss boys. You would get green spots on your face and everything."

“I won’t kiss a boy evuh again.” Lottie says before starting to run away.

“Good… wait again? What do you mean again?” Bucky asked but Lottie had already gotten to her room.

~~~~~~~~~

Bucky had forgotten about his conversation with Lottie the night before. He was busy giving his wife kisses and a little bit more. This morning he was feeling extra loving and handsy. Although the kids were used to seeing their parents give each other quick kisses this morning would bring a little bit of chaos.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Lottie shrieked as she ran into the kitchen. She immedietly started pushing her way in between you and Bucky. "Get away from mama!"

"Doll, what's wrong?"

"You gibe mama kisses. Why?"

You look at Bucky confused. "Sweet Angel, daddy gives me kisses all the time."

That was the wrong thing to say because Lottie started crying and trying to pull you down and check your face.

"Why can't daddy give me kisses?" You run your hand up and down Lottie's back trying to soothe her.

"Because... boys habe cooties and cooties are yucky. Daddy says it."

You look up at Bucky who is face palming.

"Really? Cooties?"

Bucky just gives a resigned shrug.

“Sweet Angel, I promise I’m fine. I don’t have cooties.”

“No, daddy says you get sick if you get cooties, mama.”

“Well then how about we go to my office and I’ll show you that I don’t have cooties?”

“Ok, but no mo’ kisses fo daddy.” Lottie pleads.

“I think that’s a great idea.” You look up and smirk at Bucky. “No more kisses for daddy. Lets go.”

~~~~~~

“What did you do now?” Sam asked Bucky as he walked out of Duckie’s lab. He smelled like disinfectant.

“What are you talking about? Sugar called me up here.”

“Yeah well Y/N and Lottie are in there with Doc and they’re having all the guys get a disinfecting treatment.” Sam huffs while crossing his arms over his chest. “Something about getting rid of cooties.”

“Oh for fucks sake.” Bucky shakes his head and walks past Sam.

In the lab were you, Duckie and Lottie with goggles, gloves and masks on. Standing in a line were Tony, Bruce, Thor, Clint, Loki, Vision, Steve and Henry. Wanda and Nat were sitting to the side and pointing out spots that weren’t disinfected.

��What the hell is going on?”

Everyone turns to look at Bucky. The guys were irritated but the women, except for Lottie, were all amused.

“We are treating the cootie outbreak before it gets out of hand. Please join the line.” Duckie informs the line.

All the guys get hand sanitizer, their faces wiped with a baby wipe and a blast from an air compressor to get rid of all the germs. And if they do a good job they get a hug from Lottie. One by one all the guys go down the line to get their treatment. Bucky finally gets to the end, all the women are just snickering and joking about how ridiculous he’s being.

“Wait.” Nat yells just as Bucky’s about to walk out. “I think Bucky’s case of the cooties is at a level 1.”

“Oh no.” Lottie gasps.

“What?”

“Level 1 cootie infection is very dangerous. We have to go into full decontamination.” Duckie adds while trying not to laugh.

“Oh come on. It’s not that serious.”

“Is so sewious.”

“How unfortunate. No kisses for you for the rest of the day.”

“Sugar.” Bucky whines but he’s being pushed into the small decontamination station in the corner of the lab. He sighs and accepts his fate as Lottie presses the button.

“Look at that Lottie, you saved all the boys from the cooties.”

“Yeah and tomowwow I sabe Tommy too. Then I can gibe him kisses.”

“Wait what? No! No kissing Tommy!”

“Can’t he-uh you daddy. The cooties is too loud.”

Everyone starts laughing as they walk out of the lab while you stay behind. You hold up a towel for Bucky but just sent you a light hearted glare.

“Why would you lie about cooties?”

“She told me she gave Tommy a big kiss. She’s too young.”

“It was Tommy’s birthday and Lottie wanted to get him a gift. He loves chocolate so she chose the big chocolate kiss.“

Bucky just stares at you. He remembers you reminding him that Lottie got him that candy.

“Oh.”

“Yeah, oh.” You wrap your arms around his neck. “But look on the bright side. Now you’re cootie free and we can pick up where we left off.”

“Not in my lab. Get out before I have to burn the place to the ground.”

You laugh at Duckie’s glare and grab Bucky’s hand to lead him out of the lab.

Will Bucky ever be ok with Lottie giving Tommy kisses of any kind? Probably not. But he will always to everything he can to protect her. Even make up fake diseases to do so.

0m3g4's Kanohi Forge is in Low Inventory Mode

If a piece isn't already made, it's unavailable for the time being, and that time may last a fair while with everything going on.

Current objectives:

Find the source of the bubbles plaguing my recent batches and resolve the current 2/3 failure and 1/4 disaster rating

Refresh my molds, as even the new masks exclusive to the Metru Mystery Packs are wearing out already

Install the new pressure pot to double effective daily output

Take care folks, I'll answer messages here but I really won't have stuff to post about for a while

Also felt I should include an explanation about those ratings from #1. Luckily we're still at a 0/6 hazard rate, no pieces have come out as toxic sludge since I launched the shop and I know well enough why to keep it that way.

My 4 ratings are

Good - a sellable piece, matching colour and shape cleanly. No bubbles or other defects.

Failure - any colour oddities automatically land here, as well as bubbles and empty spots. This is happening more and more lately and it's genuinely concerning, but I have theories I'll discuss.

Disaster - dramatic name, basically just means any of them where the connection point is unfixable and thus can't end up even in the Protodermis blind bags. I keep those for my Protodermis Reclamation Yard display, of which I still haven't finished setting up though do finally have the Metru Kalama for.

Current theories for the rates of Failure- it's possible that I haven't properly flushed out my air compressor and there's just enough moisture in there to cause a problem. If so, should be an easy fix if it wasn't for the humidity. It's also possible that my resin is slightly expired - last time it did, though, it thickened and became foggy, which doesn't appear to be the case. Final theory is that I somehow have completely shifted my internal timescale and am mixing chemicals for too long, causing the injected material to be full of bubbles (thusly appearing to fill the mold, only to then deflate to partial fill when compressed). If it's the last one I'm keeping a timer on my lab desk, cause that's just stupid.

Also... regarding the Low Inventory Mode... I have a few Akaku (Great) and Rau (Noble) that I made for product photos. I was planning on launching one each with a new colour, and therefore allowing them to be fully stocked, but I'm partially debating just putting up the listings as is. That Rau mold isn't wearing out now for no reason, I've used it a bunch. But idk, I'd still like to pair new masks and colours, and actually let more than 5 people get a variety of them.

[aprilpostsaboutherday]

Being in the lab while everyone else is on lunch break is peaceful

I hear the clicking of several flash tubes going in and out of sync in the long test cabinet

I hear the whirring of a compressor, one of the climate controlled chambers is running

I hear a fan running somewhere

I barely hear the low droning of the injection molding presses over in the production hall

Every now and then a relay clicks when i start another fruitless attempt at getting the serial port of the programmable power source to run

The lines on the oscilloscope are flat

I breathe in and out again, the air is warm and dry, i smell hints of warm oil and hot metal, solder fumes and overheating capacitors

Three more hours until i clock out

Flash Fic: Oki Doki, Loki

Just a fun little flash fic for my dear friend, fuzzumz! Please check out their twitch stream at: https://www.twitch.tv/oki_dokiloki ================================================ Loki, Princess of Chaos, was bored. This, in and of itself is not usually a dangerous thing, but the split black and white axolotl, bored in one of the testing labs of Trivial Matters, Inc. could be quite dangerous indeed. She sighed, glancing over one, slick, shiny shoulder as her friend, Victor was leaned over his work, soldering something. A weird, dark monocle covered the red-maned zebra's single eye as little whisps of smoke drifted up from his hands. Doing her best to behave, she kept her hands behind her back as she walked around the room. Her big red and blue eyes studied everything before gazing up towards the tall ceiling, spinning around a bit. She giggled as she lost her balance, stumbling into a table with a crash. Victor barely looked up from his work, knowing the little 'lotl to be practically invincible. “Hey, you okay? Try not to break anything.” “Yeah, whatever, hun...” She rolled her eyes and picked herself up off of the floor, only to find what looked to be a bike pump dangling from the hose. The hose which seemed to have somehow attached itself to her tummy. She blinked, picking up the thing in her hands. Tugging at the hose a few times, it seemed to be stuck on fairly well. Shrugging her shoulders, she gave it an experimental pump. She giggled as she felt a slight tickle as air seemed to flow into her belly, but she blinked as that tingle spread through her whole body. “What the heck was that?” She gave it another few pumps and realized that with each pump she was getting an inch or so taller. Her soft, slick skin made a few quiet stretching noises as she grew slowly. Holding the odd device in her hands, she tilted her head and had a thought. “Hey, uh.. doc?” Again, Victor never even looked up from his work, just giving an inquisitive grunt. “This weird little pump thingy, wouldn't it work better if it were an air compressor?” “Well, yeah, but I haven't really gotten that far yet...” “Okay, gotcha.” Grinning to herself, the called on her chaotic powers and snapped her fingers. Victor blinked, freezing as he heard the steady hum of an air compressor, followed by a loud, rubbery stretching noise. He yelled out as he turned, just in time to get pinned against his work table by a huge, soft, black and white belly as it rapidly grow over him. “LOKI!!!” She just giggled, wriggling around as her rapidly growing body swelled to fill the room. One of her arms pushed out into the hallway, the soft, slightly slimy flesh swelling over a young crocodile and pinning him to the floor. Outside of the building, rubbery stretching noises began to fill the air as the walls of the skyscraper bulged ominously. Black and white flesh began to bulge through breaking windows before the whole building burst apart, flinging hundreds of furries high into the air. They slowly rained down to land with audible plopping noises on the expanding tummy of the ever-growing axolotl who wrapped her arms around herself, hugging them close. “Don't worry, I can fix this.”

[lunaiz4-misc]

Perhaps the proudest moment of my short-lived medical career (I pass out around blood draws, apparently) was when I was in college, and my father (who works in R&D) was trying to figure out why this compressor out in the field was getting bubbles in it. It was pumping basically pure water - no minerals, and definitely no surfactants (stuff that can make bubbles, like soap or whatever) - and it kept getting bubbles in said water. He had solved one of the two. It was in a bakery. He does baking on the side, so he knew that rising bread releases ethanol into the air. Ethanol is a surfactant. But he couldn't solve the one that was in a bio lab.

Do you know how they clean the benchtops in a bio lab? Because I did. It's by wiping them down with ethanol and letting it evaporate. That was arguably the easier of the two problems to solve, but he had been in a bakery. He hadn't been in a bio lab.

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.

What are industrial air filters?

Industrial air filters are specialized filtration systems used in commercial and industrial settings to remove airborne contaminants, improve air quality, and protect equipment from dust, debris, and harmful particles. They are crucial for maintaining workplace safety, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing equipment efficiency.

Types of Industrial Air Filters

Mechanical Filters

Trap particles using physical barriers like fiberglass or pleated media.

Examples:

Panel Filters – Basic pre-filters for HVAC systems.

HEPA Filters – Capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Electrostatic Filters

Use static electricity to attract and capture particles.

Often washable and reusable.

Activated Carbon Filters

Absorb gases, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Used in chemical processing, food production, and medical facilities.

Baghouse Filters

Large fabric filters used in dust collection systems.

Common in cement plants, woodworking, and metalworking industries.

Cartridge Filters

Cylindrical filters with pleated material for high dust-holding capacity.

Used in industrial air compressors, paint booths, and welding stations.
