Step 5 – TEMPERATURE
Out of sight and out of mind, is often the case when it comes to dental plant room equipment — until something goes wrong. To mitigate that risk, consider the six P.L.A.N.T and +S SERVICE key principles when selecting, installing, and maintaining equipment to pursue 100% reliability.
The six key steps to consider are P.L.A.N.T and +S SERVICE (AFTER CARE).
- P – PERFORMANCE
- L – LAYOUT
- A – AIRFLOW
- N – NOISE
- T – TEMPERATURE
- +S – SERVICE (AFTER CARE)
T for TEMPERATURE
When designing the plant room for a new surgery, it is important to consider the optimal working environment your dental compressor and dental suction unit need to maximise their operating efficiency.
As all plant room equipment generates some heat, your investment could face temperature-related risks, including increased physical wear from thermal expansion. The best way to address these risks is to plan for a temperature management method and appropriate ventilation.
Air conditioning
Air conditioning is a superior method for maintaining a stable temperature and humidity in your plant room. When using this method, the plant room must have dedicated air conditioning as the system used for the premises is often not sufficient to keep a plant area cool. The dedicated air conditioning system must comply with specific ratings to maintain the correct operating temperatures of the plant equipment.
Fan ventilation
Ventilation fans are used to exchange the total volume of air within a fixed area over a certain period. It is vital to understand not all fans are satisfactory for the purpose of ventilation, and that seasonal changes may affect the temperature and humidity control of the plant room.
