Very Good Information 👍👍

[@danisekotanowo8485]

hello sir ,, let me ask . what is the function of the exhaust fan in the hvac system in the operating room? and how do we calculate the exhaust fan capacity? Thank You

[@passionateengineer04]

OT must be at positive pressure, when OT is pressurized some of air flows through door gaps, if the room is sealed tight then the fresh air needs to be exhausted. Because when fresh air is added and there are no escape gaps then it will increase pressure beyond limits and no room for further fresh air, because OT required constant 4 ACh of outdoor air as per ASHRAE 170.

[@abdulrahmanshah6040]

How you will maintain positive in any room, what is the formula and how should we know the required CFM to maintain that pressure difference with surrounding.

[@passionateengineer04]

To maintain positive pressure the return air must b less than supply air, like one room have supply air is 400 cfm return is 300 cfm and another room has 400 cfm and return is 250 cfm that one will have positive with respect to another. The minimum pressure differential is 2.5 pascal.

[@khalilmondal3876]

As per the video what would have been the CFM of AHU at 20 ACPH 100% Fresh Air..?

[@passionateengineer04]

100% Fresh air means that fresh air flow will be based on 20 ACH according to your question.

Minimum ACH for OT is 20 and out of which 4 ACH needs to be fresh air. Consider a OT having 1000sqft, as per ACH equation EA will be 334cfm(20ach) and 4 ACH means 67cfm. Then if we want to size AHU what percent of RA needs to be mixed with OA and what should be the supply air to the OT Pls help me in this case.

[@passionateengineer04]

In this case 334 cfm is SA and 67 cfm is FA so RA will be SA-FA=267 cfm

[@hpzen8371]

[@aakangkhitachoudhury2530]

Sir ,can you please explain why temperature is lower in ortho OT as compared to other OTs?

[@passionateengineer04]

Orthopaedic implant surgery have high risk of surgical site infection and the surgeons have their own temperature requirements as they have to work in their heavy surgical clothing in order to avoid infection whereas anaesthesist requires a slightly lower temperature. It was noticed in study that the rise in postoperative infections for the period when ventilation system of the theatre was substandard and the temperatures were high.

how to calculate or design 100% fresh air burn ward hvac system with AHU?

[@passionateengineer04]

Check ASHRAE 170.

[@khalilmondal3876]

@@passionateengineer04 only given 2 outdoor ACPH & 6 Total ACPH. 100% FA not given. Could you please share sir...

[@passionateengineer04]

If its per ASHRAE than you don't need 100% fresh air, you will require 2 ACH of fresh air.

[@ZEESHANUSTAD]

What is mean by 4 air changes out of total minimum 20 air change? NABH Guidelines for OT 2018 says "FA required to be min 4 Air changes out of total minimum 20." I'm a bit confused. In my case for 3535 CFM and 4590 vol I'm getting 44.6 ACH. How much fresh air to be considered in this case? Thanking you

[@passionateengineer04]

You have to calculate the supply air by 20 ACH and fresh air or OA by 4 ACH. So the cfm calculated by 20 ACH will be supply air and cfm calculated by 4 ACH will be fresh air, so total supply air will be the cfm calculated by 20 ACH plus cfm calculated by 4 ACH and returns air will be only cfm calculated at 20 ACH. So the OT is at positive pressure hence cfm calculated at 4 ACH will maintain positive pressure.

[@ZEESHANUSTAD]

@@passionateengineer04 NABH asks min 4 ACH (fresh air) out of min 20. Here I'm getting 39 supply air change. I got your point that 4 FACH would help in creating +ve pressure which is must in OTs, NOW my question is fresh ACH is 4 (that too minimum), but how much Max FACH could be considered? Is there any limit?

[@passionateengineer04]

FA will be 10 to 15% max of the total SA.

how to compute the return air

[@ashpaksheikh1616]

How to design AHu of OT for 16 deg. Also how much return air we need to take for AHU Do we need uv light in ahu

[@passionateengineer04]

I explain this in previous comment. AHU RA depends on Supply, that how much pressure you want to maintain if you want to maintain more pressure in OT, RA will be less than SA and for Air balancing you have to add OA and exhaust some percent of Air for Air relief. Its better to use UV lights or UVGI.

Sir, What is size of ducts required for supply and return ducts for 3000cfm AHU for standard 20× 20 ×10 (ht) in fts of OT size.

Hallo. I read from ashrae also that ACH for isolation negative press.room for covid is 12. But there is no explanation wheter ACH 12 is for fresh air only or fresh air Plus supplyr air. What is your opinion.

[@passionateengineer04]

In negative pressure room air is only fresh air, and exhaust air, so 12 ach is for OA.

[@bedahkasusremajaofficial]

@@passionateengineer04 how about for operation room but special for covid patient. Is the room positif press or neg press.

OT are always at positive pressure.

How much off coil temperature required to get 16 deg in OT

[@passionateengineer04]

It will be covered in coil sizing and calculation topic. Coil temperature depends upon refrigerant flow rate and Air flow rate, if you need to maintain 16 deg in OT you have to design coil according to it at temp difference of 5c. Or during equipment selection manufacture can provide this data.

[@ashpaksheikh1616]

@@passionateengineer04 u mean to say if need 16 deg, off coil temp shall be 11 deg with 5C diff

[@passionateengineer04]

For Chilled water system we supply water 7c and return it on 12c to maintain 16c. But it all depend on manufacturer, if you want to achieve 16c room quickly its off coil temperature will be different and air flow will be different if you want to achieve gradually than its different.

[@passionateengineer04]

5c difference in case of CHW 7c water supply temperature and 12c on return, but off coil temperature is different it depends on how quickly you want to achieve temp, normally for 16c its 6c coil temperature that is 10c difference.

(mainly about ventilation rate required and RH control). I was searching in ASHRAE, where i couldn't able to identify the data related to Fish market design. Client is very concerned about the smell and condensation/ moisture since the market is very close to sea. Kindly help to provide reference documents if you have any. Regards Jayakumar

Do you want to store fish for long time? Or just need to store for selling purpose?

And what kind of fish are they selling? Lean fish, flat fish, glazed type etc because their storage temperature and ACH and other parameters are different.
