What does DEAIR mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To remove trapped air from a liquid, tube, or piece of equipment before it is used.
Trapped air causes real problems in narrow systems: a bubble in a hydraulic brake line makes the pedal feel soft, and a bubble in a medical drip line can be dangerous if it reaches a patient, so equipment is deaired before it goes into service. Dentists deair impression material before it sets so the cast does not show tiny pits, and factories deair resin under a vacuum chamber for the same reason. The step is usually done once, right before the item is put to use, rather than repeated during normal operation.
How DEAIR is used
A technical verb, found in manuals for hydraulics, dentistry, and casting rather than in everyday speech.
- The mechanic had to deair the brake line before the pedal felt firm.
- Technicians deair the resin under vacuum to stop bubbles from forming.
- A nurse will deair the tubing before connecting it to the patient.
- You must deair the mixture, or the cast will show tiny holes.
- The pump deaired itself automatically once the valve closed.
