Compressed air for cleaning a computer: where to use, how to choose, whether to take it

Who would have thought that people would buy air in stores! However, compressed air in computer cans is an excellent solution for complex systems that have become part of everyday life.

Where is it used?

Many computer users know that the system unit needs to be cleaned from time to time. This is vital for all its parts and directly affects the operation of the device. Dust, fibers, fluff and other particles, one way or another, get clogged into the case and interfere with normal cooling. And, contrary to the belief that vacuuming the inside of the system unit is enough, there are hard-to-reach places where you can’t reach with a vacuum cleaner tube, and you shouldn’t do this - for example, it’s not recommended to touch the boards with anything.

What can be cleaned with compressed air:

• radiators;
• coolers;
• Power supplies;
• keyboard;
• any other hard-to-reach places;
• other computer equipment.

Cleaning procedure

How to properly use a compressed air cylinder:

1. Disconnect equipment from the network.
2. Wait until all parts have cooled down.
3. Wear a protective mask and goggles (not required, but recommended, especially for those with allergies).
4. Place a thin long tube onto the can.
5. Do not shake!
6. Spray gas only onto the surface to be cleaned, using short presses.
7. Always hold the can vertically, with the spray tip facing up. Do not turn.
8. Do not direct on mucous membranes.

Instructions:

1. Open the case of the system unit, vacuum and wipe it and its components to remove clots and large lumps of dust.
2. There is no need to open the laptop - it is blown through the holes in the case so that the compressed air comes out through the ones closest to them.
3. Blow coolers, power supply, boards, and other hard-to-reach places with compressed air, never touching the surface with the spray tube of the can.

Compressed air is also very useful for blowing through the keyboard. After all, it is very difficult to clean it in other ways. The only thing is that you should be very careful with the laptop keys, as you can drive all the garbage inside the device itself and clog it even more.

How to choose

Resource purity-en.htgetrid.com recommends using special compressed air cylinders to blow out complex equipment. You should not buy other variations for these purposes, as they may contain additional substances that will harm the components.

Another fundamentally important point when choosing is that the gas inside the cylinder must be non-flammable. Flammable sprays, which contain, for example, propane, are strictly incompatible with complex equipment, circuit boards and other electronics.

As for the price, on average you will have to spend from 200 to 1000 rubles on compressed gas cans (although you can find more expensive ones), and the cost is determined by the complexity of production. But if you use the can regularly and follow the recommendations, then one will be enough for about 10 cleanings.

We are, of course, not talking about very “heavy” contamination of the system unit and its internals, which could easily take half a bottle. In general, having a can of compressed air on hand is useful for many people.Even for those who are not interested in computer technology and prefer not to get involved in it again.
