Checking the compressor on the medical air system is not only limited to technical machine problems, using compressed air also has problems with microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria in it. The humidity level of the air compressor system greatly affects the growth of these microorganisms. In the application of the health industry which requires a high level of hygiene, of course this requires a separate focus. While it is true that when air is compressed, most of the moisture present in the intake air condenses, the remaining water vapor still allows microorganisms to multiply.

There are five factors that make it possible for microorganisms to grow and reproduce, including nutrition, the right pH level, gases, the right temperature, and humidity. At the proper nutritional, pH and gas factors are not affected by the air in the compression process, as long as the compressor is free of oil and uses an aftercooler. Meanwhile, the appropriate temperature and humidity factors directly affect the performance of the air compressor system used.
