HEALTH RISKS OF A POOR HVAC SYSTEM
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units are an essential piece of equipment for hospitals. They not only control the comfortability in the environment, but they also assist in keeping it germ free for the wellbeing of patients. HVAC systems act as a preventative to the spread of bacteria and diseases.
HVAC systems need to be able to deliver comfort and safety to patients, personnel and visitors.
They should do the following:
– It must be able to get rid of bacteria and other micro-organisms that can spread infection.
– Be able to remove unpleasant odours and filter
– Remove airborne contaminants and particulates.
– -Provide ideal conditions for laboratories, medical procedures, patient treatment and other healing procedures.
With these functions they aid in the prevention of contamination, cross contamination and environmental protection . It is an important non- pharmacological strategy to maintain good air quality.
Maintenance for these systems need to be conducted regularly to ensure that there is low risk within the building however, maintenance does not cover oil fouling. By removing the build up of oil in pipes that migrates from the compressor, our product Cryogen X4 can enhance refrigerant flow allowing HVAC systems to work faster and more efficiently. As a bonus it can assist in energy savings and increase the longevity of the HVAC system.
