Delivering to a world-class health facility

Al Dhaid Hospital is a world-class medical facility managed by the UAE Ministry of Health, designed to adhere to the country’s highest standards in healthcare.

The requirement of Green Star Electromechanical, the consultant responsible for Al Dhaid, was for ventilation systems for the hospital’s operating theatre room, which must ensure utmost reliability considering the critical procedures and operations that will be performed in the theatre.

Strict humidity control and IAQ parameters

More than energy saving, the client’s major requirement was maintaining the room temperature and humidity. It was imperative that the relative humidity can be easily maintained at a maximum of 55% while the temperature should 20 ± 2 degrees C to ensure optimal indoor quality that will promote health, well-being and meet the hygienic requirements. There was a need for 100% fresh air unit and full control of FAHU from the OT room with easy-to-use controls, where all parameters are displayed.

The solutions had to be delivered in 3 - 4 weeks to meet the client’s strict timeline.

Most of the suppliers were reluctant to provide us with a solution and unable to give us confidence in executing the project. Systemair was the only manufacturer that pitched in with a solution and made us believe that client requirements would be achieved even without any dehumidifiers

Full IAQ control

Keeping the client’s requirements in mind, in terms of the technical features and delivery timings and budgets, Systemair delivered a customised fresh air handling unit with a chilled water coil and stand-by DX cooling with a condensing unit.

The FAHU was designed to cool from 46 to 11 degrees C, by which client could maintain a room temperature of 20 ± 2 degrees with 55% relative humidity (RH) without any other dehumidifiers.

It was a pleasure to gain the confidence of the client and contractor that we could maintain the temperature and humidity over other suppliers who did not have the solutions and portfolio to meet the project specifications. We designed the FAHU to cool from 46 to 11 degrees C, and with the room heat gain, we were able to ensure that the client can maintain the desired temperatures, which we demonstrated to the client through a psychrometric chart.
