Do you know any surgeons that want to run the OR colder?
Thought so.
With 20 air changes per hour in ORs, colder is easy. In humid conditions, though, colder temperatures mean higher humidity. The classic solution is subcooling -... (More)
When HVAC systems deliver cold air at high air changes per hour (ACH) to spaces that don’t have high cooling loads, air must be reheated to prevent overcooling. Reheat is one of the top energy uses in healthcare facilities. One way of reducing reheat energy consumption is by using desiccant systems to reduce the dew point of the supply air below the discharge temperature from the cooling coil. This allows resetting the supply air temperature higher, which reduces the need for reheat energy.
