Our cooling solutions safeguard healthcare samples

Posted Date 23/08/2023

The summer has been busy for Andrews Air Conditioning. Despite the peak in demand, our engineers ensure that every job that we complete shows our commitment to delivering effective cooling solutions and their ability to provide outstanding service to their customers.

Recently, we faced a significant challenge of carrying out construction work in a clinical department of a hospital. The construction work resulted in a lot of dust particles in the air, and this became a risk to the vital samples. To prevent any dust from entering the fridges, the customer had to surround them with sheeting. However, this precautionary measure inadvertently caused the fridges to become hotter than normal.

Is your healthcare facility prepared for the summer heat?

At Andrews Air Conditioning, we recognise the importance of maintaining patient comfort when seasonal temperatures begin to rise. Each day, more than a million people depend on the services of the NHS, private healthcare organisations and care homes – underlining the importance of having a practical contingency plan ahead of summer’s arrival.

It is therefore of paramount importance that wards, operating theatres and pharmaceutical storage areas are equipped with appropriate cooling systems. The varied nature of healthcare applications does however mean that diverse temperature controls are essential, and determined by a specific location’s uses and specifications.
