Modular OT HVAC System | HEPA Filtration and Laminar Airflow
Ventilation is a critical consideration when planning a modular operation theatre. A properly designed HVAC system helps manage the operating room's environmental conditions according to its intended clinical use and applicable engineering requirements. The configuration of a modular OT HVAC system should be established by qualified professionals using the room layout, expected occupancy, equipment loads and relevant healthcare guidelines. Understanding the OT Air Handling Unit An OT air handling unit (AHU) may form part of the ventilation system. Depending on the design, it can support air movement, filtration and temperature or humidity control. The selection of an AHU should account for the required airflow, pressure drop, filtration stages, ductwork arrangement and operating conditions. HEPA Filter for Operation Theatre A HEPA filter for an operation theatre may be specified as part of the air filtration arrangement. The appropriate filter classification, housing,...
