safer air conditioning for hospitals Archives

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.

Your annual reminder: Air conditioning with HEPA filtration available now!

It’s happening already! Customers are starting to secure air conditioning units incorporating HEPA filtration – and this will only become more frequent as temperatures rise!

For many years, we have been supplying clients with PAC 22 and PAC 60 units featuring HEPA filters, with this requirement extremely common in the healthcare sector.

But how do HEPA filters work, and what are the benefits of adapting air conditioning systems to include this technology?

High Efficiency Particular Air (HEPA) filtration can trap up to 99.97% of dust, pollen and airborne particles of 0.3 microns, making indoor environments significantly cleaner and safer for those inside.
