From Design to Commissioning: What to Expect from Professional Air Handling Unit Manufacturers for Hospitals
When a hospital invests in an HVAC system, it is not just about cooling the air. It is about infection control, patient safety, and compliance with NABH and ISO standards. If you join hands with a professional air handling unit manufacturer, you would know they provide much more than just equipment. They design systems that control Air Changes Per Hour (ACH), maintain positive pressure in Operation Theatres, and ensure HEPA filtration works exactly as required. If you are planning a new hospital or upgrading your OT, understanding this process matters more than you think. Design Phase: Planning for Infection Control The process begins with load calculation and airflow design. Most of the good suppliers calculate tonnage, static pressure, duct layout, and filtration stages based on OT size and criticality level. For example, a modular OT requires 20 to 25 ACH with terminal HEPA filters and laminar airflow ceilings. At this stage, you can coordinate with architects and operation theatre ...
