Where must the compressor air intakes be located?

The compressor air intakes must be located outdoors, above the roof level to ensure optimal performance and safety. This position helps prevent the intake of contaminants like dust, debris, or toxic fumes that may accumulate near ground level, which can adversely affect the quality of compressed air being produced. Additionally, being positioned above the roof allows for adequate ventilation, which is crucial to preventing overheating of the compressor. Proper air intake placement is vital to maintaining air purity and efficiency in medical gas systems, which are essential for patient care and operational integrity.
