Hospitals
In clinics and practices, it is primarily about an acceptable sound level of the units in the outdoor area, but also the used circulating air cooling devices in the treatment or Hospital rooms. The refrigeration chiller itself is often split for sound reasons, so that the compressor part is placed inside the building and an air-cooled condenser outside or a dry cooler is used. City water solutions are also often favored from an energy point of view. In order to utilize the chiller to 100% around the clock as far as possible, changeover cycles with different setpoints for ice storage charging operation are used.
Important aspects of air conditioning in hospitals
- Temperature and humidity control
- Air quality
- Infection control
- Noise control
- Energy efficiency
- Zoning
- Sustainability
- Reliability
- Regular maintenance
The air conditioning of hospitals is therefore not only of great importance for comfort, but also for the safety and health of patients. It requires careful planning in order to meet the specific needs and requirements of a hospital.
