Medical Scroll Compressors

Benefits Of Using Medical Scroll Compressors

Medical scroll compressors, reciprocating, and screw compressors are all types of air compressors commonly used in the medical health care setting. Each technology type of compressor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At Pattons Medical, we often recommend scroll compressors for their multiple benefits:

Oil-Less Operations: Scroll compressor technology is classified as oil-less compressed air as they do not require any sort of lubrication in the compression chamber. This makes them a perfect fit where air purity is critical. With medical scroll compressors, you get clean, oil-less compressed air essential for patient safety.

Low Noise Level: Scroll compressors are known for their quiet operations compared to other types of compressors, such as screw and reciprocating compressors. In a medical setting, where noise levels can affect patient comfort and staff productivity, the low noise output of scroll compressors can be advantageous.

Compact Design: Scroll compressors have a relatively compact design with fewer moving parts, making them easier to install in limited spaces. This can be beneficial in medical facilities where space is often at a premium.

Energy Efficiency: Multi-plex scroll systems are generally more energy-efficient at partial loads compared to some other compressor types, such as large screw compressors. This efficiency can lead to cost savings over time, especially in applications where compressed air demand varies.

Reliability & Redundancy: Scroll compressors have fewer moving parts and simplified construction compared to screw compressors, which can contribute to higher reliability and reduced maintenance requirements. This reliability is crucial in medical applications where continuous operation is critical to patient safety.

Maintenance: Scroll compressors typically have lower maintenance requirements due to their simpler design. This can result in reduced downtime and maintenance costs in medical facilities.
