DHP Air Compressor - Pre-installation Guide-Section 4
LOCATION
The DHP Dental Air Compressor should be installed in a well ventilated area. The DHP Dental
Air Compressor is air cooled and without proper air circulation the lifespan of the Dental Air
Compressor could be shortened significantly. The sound level of the Dental Air Compressor,
when in operation, should be considered when locating an area within the dental office for the
Dental Air Compressor. It is strongly recommended that insulation should be added to the walls
adjacent to the Dental Air Compressor. The ambient temperature in the dental office equipment
room should never exceed 40 degrees Fahrenheit minimum and 100 degrees Fahrenheit maxi-
mum. The dental office equipment room will require a minimum of 5 air changes per hour which
can be met with a 50 CFM vent fan in a 5' x 5' x 9' room. The DHP Dental Air Compressor can
be located outside of the dental office, however it is extremely important the air compressor be
covered from the elements as well as have the proper ventilation as previously mentioned. It is
strongly recommended that visual inspections of the air compressor be done on a weekly basis.
When locating the air compressor outside of the dental office serious consideration should be
taken to secure the dental air compressor to discourage theft and or vandalism.
The above Dental Air Compressor is a typical installation. The recommended Dental
Equipment Room design is covered in Section 9 of this manual.
It should be noted that local building codes will supersede any recommended installation
guidelines in this manual.
