Protecting Patient Health

Air purifiers are essential for maintaining clean air by effectively removing even the smallest particles. Camfil HEPA filters are so efficient that air must pass through the ventilation system three times to achieve the same level of purification that our air purifiers provide in just one circulation. This not only results in significantly cleaner air but also enhances heating efficiency and reduces energy costs. By utilising an air purifier alongside your existing ventilation system, you can recirculate and clean the already heated air in the room, rather than drawing in and heating cold air from outside.

Incorporating air purifiers into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in hospitals can effectively reduce the microbial load in the air and on surfaces, thereby minimising hospital-acquired infections.

Creating Positively Pressurised Rooms

The goal of positively pressurised rooms is to ensure that the air introduced is clean, preventing any escaping air from affecting other patients or staff.

How Are Positively Pressurised Rooms Created?

To create a positively pressurised environment, clean, fresh air is introduced from external sources. The quality of this air is crucial not only for the patients but also for the healthcare professionals working within the room. Ensuring that both the incoming external air and the air within the room are filtered to the highest standards is key to creating optimal conditions.

Benefits of Using Camfil Air Cleaners

  • Patented Dual Inlet Filtration: Allows for simultaneous introduction of external air and cleaning of internal air.
  • EN1822:2009 Certified HEPA Filters: Guarantee optimal performance.
  • Energy-Efficient Fan: Reduces overall energy consumption.
  • Low Noise Levels: Ensures that patient rest is not disturbed.
  • Timed Controller: Enhances system activity during peak hours.
  • AirImage Intelligent Sensor System: Monitors air quality in real-time.

Creating Negatively Pressurised Rooms

Negatively pressurised rooms are essential in hospitals to protect the health of patients, staff, and sterile equipment.

How Are Negatively Pressurised Rooms Created?

In negatively pressurised rooms, contaminated air is extracted, cleaned, and then distributed to non-critical areas, ensuring that hazardous air does not escape to other parts of the facility.

Areas That Require Negatively Pressurised Rooms Include:
  • Emergency Room (ER) waiting areas
  • Radiology waiting rooms
  • Triage areas and restrooms
  • Airborne Infection Isolation (AII) rooms
  • Laboratories (e.g., cytology, histology, microbiology)
  • Soiled workrooms and holding areas
  • Decontamination rooms for medical supplies
  • Janitorial closets

Removal of Odours and Gases for Improved Air Quality

ºÚÁϳԹÏÈºÍøs often contend with various odours and gases that can affect both patient and staff health, as well as productivity.

Odours and Gases Requiring Treatment in ºÚÁϳԹÏÈºÍøs:
  • Formaldehyde: Used in laboratory and mortuary/pathology settings
  • Hydrogen Peroxide: From operating theatre cleaning processes
  • Canteen Odours
  • Hematological Areas

Removing Odours and Gases

In general HVAC applications, odours and gases are typically addressed through molecular filtration. Different absorbents can be employed based on the specific application to ensure an odour-free environment.

Benefits of Camfil Air Cleaners

  • Preinstalled Molecular Filtration: For low-level odour removal.
  • Range of Molecular Add-Ons: Available to tackle various issues.
  • Mobile Units: Allow for easy movement between hospital areas.
  • Compact Design: Facilitates convenient storage.
  • AirImage Intelligent Sensor System: Monitors air quality effectively.
