Dental Compressor-Dehydrator Model M5B
The compressor-dehydrator is a compact, portable, and self contained unit that provides processed, compressed air free of oil, moisture, and particulate matter. The unit contains an integral moisture drying assembly which automatically regenerates the drying agent.
This compressor-dehydrator includes a case and its lid is designed to serve as a sound suppressor and protective cover during operation. The compressor-dehydrator, when used with a manifold assembly, will provide processed, compressed air to multiple patient ventilators.
Description of significant components:
* Motor-compressor: The motor-compressor produces compressed air that requires additional processing. An intake silencer is mounted on the motor-compressor.
* Fan: The fan provides a steady flow of air through the cooling coil. The fan operates continuously as long as the power switch is in the ON position.
* Unloader valve: The unloader valve is used to vent the pressure from the compressor and to provide a circuit for air to flow from the drying chamber to the atmosphere.
* Pressure switch: The pressure switch is mechanically operated by pressure in the air storage tank. The switch opens and closes the unloader valve and opens and closes the electrical circuit for the motor-compressor.
* Storage tank: The storage tank holds the processed, compressed air and provides relatively stable pressure to operate attached equipment. A drain valve is located on the bottom of the tank to drain the air or water.
* Humidity indicator: This indicator varies from pink to blue which denotes the amount of moisture in the processed air.
* Pressure gauge: This gauge displays pressure of the processed air.
Unit is in used condition with light cosmetic wear
