7 System components
7.1 Rinsing unit
For surgical procedures and for procedures using
powder jet devices, a rinsing unit must in all
cases be installed in the treatment unit. The rins-
ing unit provides a small amount of water during
aspiration. This dilutes the aspirated fluids (blood,
saliva, rinsing water, etc.), which can then be
transported more effectively.
For further information, refer to the rinsing unit
installation and operating instructions
7.2 Surge tank
If the suction unit is combined with an amalgam
separator, this requires the installation of a surge
tank. The surge tank reduces pressure peaks
caused by the waste water pump of the suction
unit and acts as a buffer against temporary rises
in the volume of water.
The surge tank can also be used if the waste
water is fed directly into the building waste water
system. this case the waste water from the suc-
tion unit is diverted to the building drainage sys-
tem under zero pressure.
