Medical Air Compressors

Large hospitals tend to use compressors to supply medical air.

Air cannot be stored in liquid form, because oxygen has a different boiling point to nitrogen.

Air Intake

The air intake for the compressors should be situated away from potential sources of contaminants—such as car parks.

Air Receivers

Once the air has been compressed, it is stored in a large pressurised receiving tank. This acts as a buffering mechanism to ensure constant supply.
