Horizontal air handling unit

hospitalsingle-flow

An operating theatre is provided with preconditioned air by a central air handling unit (AHU). Nowadays, most hospital ventilation systems operate with a mixture of fresh and recirculation air. For operating theatres or minor surgery rooms to be upgraded or renovated, recirculation modules are an excellent alternative. Because many older facilities have insufficient space for bigger AHU’s and ducts etc, the recirculation module can be installed in either the ceiling (Optivent) or the wall (Optiwall). Here, the recirculation module will supply the recirculation air and the existing or new AHU will supply the fresh air portion. Recirculation modules consist of three parts: Plinth – where the height of the unit will be adjusted and fixed Suction Chamber with installed Fluff Separator, Fine Dust Filter (F7), Control box as well as cooling battery Ventilation Chamber with built-in silencers, fan and damper Vokes Air offers Optivent-CG and CG³-US for installation in the intermediate ceiling and Optiwall-CG and CG³-WUK for wall fitting. Features No need for additional bigger ducts and AHU Upgrade existing systems without major works and space requirement Exhaust air (recirculation air) positioned in close proximity to the floor Defined unidirectional air flow Easy to use control system Simplifies achieving exact air volumes. Recirculation modules can be positioned outside of the operating theatre Reduces noise level Service of the wall recirculation modules outside of the OT No additional cleaning necessary Minimal fresh air part Reduced Energy consumption All acceptance tests fulfilled Including requirements of all international standards
