Compressed air to clean your computer: where to use, how to choose whether to take

Who would have thought that people would buy air in stores! Nevertheless, compressed air in cans for a computer is an excellent solution for complex systems that are included in everyday life.

Where applicable

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, become clogged in the housing 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 crawl up the vacuum cleaner’s tube, and you shouldn’t do this - boards, for example, are not recommended to be touched with anything.

What is cleaned with compressed air:

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

Cleaning procedure

How to use a can of compressed air:

1. Disconnect the equipment from the network.
2. Wait for all parts to cool.
3. Wear a face shield and goggles (optional, but recommended, especially for those with allergies).
4. Put a thin long tube on the spray can.
5. Do not shake!
6. Spray gas only on the surface to be cleaned, with a brief press.
7. Always hold the cylinder only vertically, spray up. Do not turn.
8. Do not direct to mucous membranes.

Instruction:

1. Open the case of the system unit, vacuum and wipe it and accessories to remove clots and significant dust lumps.
2. Opening the laptop is not required - it is blown through the holes in the case so that the compressed air exits through the closest to them.
3. Blow coolers, power supply, boards, and other hard-to-reach places with compressed air, in no case touching the surface with a spray tube of a spray can.

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

How to choose

Resource purityis.decorexpro.com/en/ recommends using special cylinders with compressed air for blowing complex equipment. You should not buy other variations for these purposes, as they may contain additional substances that will harm components.

Another crucial point when choosing - the gas inside the container should be non-combustible. Flammable sprays, which include, for example, propane, are categorically incompatible with complex equipment, circuit boards and other electronics.

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

We are, of course, not talking about very "heavy" pollution of the system unit and its insides, which half a balloon could well take. In general, having a can of compressed air on hand is useful to many. Even those who are not keen on computer technology and prefer not to get into it again.
