Proper humidity is crucial for operating theatres. As recent news reports showed, several hospitals have had to postpone operations due to excessive humidity.
Operating rooms should have a stable working environment with a humidity of 50% to 65%. This helps prevent infections, ensures reliable operation of equipment and creates a comfortable working environment.
The article linked the operation of cooling systems to excessive humidity. High temperatures stress the cooling system. this makes it harder to dissipate heat, which affects the humidity in the hospital.
It is therefore essential that the cooling system functions optimally. Adiabatic pre-cooling cools the intake air before it enters the cooling system. This not only improves performance, but also reduces energy consumption.
