1 To Keep Docs Cool, Dry and Happy David N. Schurk DES., CEM., LEED-AP., CDSM., SFP., CWEP. Director of Healthcare Accounts for Heat Transfer Solutions in Houston, TX.
2 Learning Objectives 1. Understand the roll that both temperature and humidity play in proving doctor and patient comfort. 2. Learn what dew-point temperature is, how its measured and maintained, and why its key to producing satisfactory operating room conditions. 3. Discover how to reference a psychrometric chart (or App) to quickly determine space temperature and humidity conditions. 4. Learn to assess existing HVAC systems and determine if they are capable of producing space temperature/humidity conditions needed. 5. Understand the pros and cons of all three common cooling and dehumidification equipment types installed in hospitals today, DX cooling, medium and low-temp chilled water and desiccant dehumidification systems. 6. Learn of available retrofit and upgrade solutions that can supplement existing HVAC systems to help deliver the performance necessary to satisfy new demands.
3 Complaints? Why can t I properly control humidity in my OR? 1. Lack of understanding of basic psychometrics. 2. The HVAC systems are being designed without consideration of real world space condition requirements. 3. Inappropriate HVAC systems are being designed and installed for the task.
4 Why do we Dehumidify ORs? I m cold & clammy I m hot & sticky I m mad as hell Surgeon and staff comfort
5 Why do we Dehumidify ORs? Drier makes us feel cooler Wetter makes us feel warmer An environment with excessive humidity will make it feel warmer than it really is
6 Why do we Dehumidify ORs? 1. The combination of temperature & relative humidity is the primary component of perceived human comfort. 2. Increased levels of humidity restrict the body's evaporative processes. 3. The result of increasing humidity on human comfort is an perceived increase in air temperature. 4. This results in a decrease in human thermal comfort.
7 Why else do we Dehumidify ORs? Therapeutic reasons Instrument fogging Orthopedic adhesives Microbial growth Droplets of condensate
8 Definitions High Cool & Dehumidify Heat & Dehumidify Low Low High
9 Definitions Dry bulb temperature F (dbt): Is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer. Relative humidity % (rh): the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature 50% 100% Dew point temperature F (dpt): Is the temperature at which the air is saturated with water (100%rh). Once air is cooled to its dew point temperature, any further cooling of the air will condense moisture from it.
10 Basics This may help moving forward 1. When air-conditioning to keep a space cool we must supply conditioned air to the space that is colder than the space. 2. When air-conditioning to keep a space dry we must supply conditioned air to the space that is dryer than the space.
11 Basics o People are accustomed to describing the space temperature in terms of dry bulb temp (dbt) and relative humidity (%rh) o Dew point temperature is an indication of the amount of moisture (water) in the air. o Knowing the dew point temperature requirement of the space allows the HVAC designer to calculate how much moisture must be removed to provide proper dehumidification. o The space dew point temperature will establish the SAT required to maintain the desired humidity in the space. o Knowing the space dew point temperature allows simple troubleshooting of space humidity issues.
12 Basics 100% rh % rh dpt dbt
13 Basics Plotting any TWO known air conditions on the Psych Chart allow all the remaining conditions to be identified
14 Operating Room Design If I cool the air below 50 Fdbt (50 Fdpt) moisture will condense from the air 50 F Space (dpt) Dew Point Temperature *(required)* 100% rh 50% Space Relative Humidity (rh) 70 F Space (dbt)temperature 50 Fdbt
15 Basics This may help moving forward 1. This means (cooling based) I need to maintain my SAT below 50 F dbt (50 Fdpt) and I need chilled water cold enough to get the air (coil) to this temperature, if I want to dehumidify the air and the space?
16 Basics o If air above (warmer than) this is supplied to the space, no dehumidification will occur. o Any surface in the space below (colder than) this will condense moisture from the air..what?
17 Basics Can surface cools the air surrounding it from 70 Fdbt (50 F dpt) to 45 Fdbt and moisture in the air next to the can will begin to condense 45 F dbt 70 Fdbt / 50% rh 50 F Dew Point Temperature (dpt) Coke Bottle Effect Sweating (condensation) will form on a surface which has reached the dew-point temperature of the air which surrounds it.
18 Operating Room Design The purpose of the HVAC system in an operating room (OR) are to minimize infections, maintain patient comfort, and help facilitate patient health and recovery and maintain staff comfort. Requirement for 20-air change per hour (ach) which includes 4-ach outdoor air (20% outdoor air). Maintain positive pressure in space.
19 Operating Room Design Table 3: Ventilation Requirements for Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities Area Designation Operating Surgical Air movement relationship to adjacent area Minimum air changes outdoor air per hour Minimum total air changes per hour All air exhausted to outdoors Recirculated by means of room units Relative humidity (%) Design temperature (degrees F) Out No Texas Hospital Licensing Rules Effective June 21, 2007 Note 8: Where temperature ranges are indicated, the system shall be capable of maintaining the rooms at any point in this range. Nothing in these rules shall be construed as precluding the use of temperatures lower than those noted when the patients comfort and medical conditions make lower temperatures desirable. Note 17: Some surgeons may require room temperatures that are outside of the indicated range. All operating room design conditions shall be developed in consultation with surgeons, anesthesiologists, infection control and nursing staff.
20 Operating Room Design Orthopedic and cardiac operating room surgeons frequently request very low temperatures, often as low as 60 50%rh.

39 System Types 3. Then the wheel rotates into the reactivation airstream, the desiccant is heated by the hot reactivation air, and the desiccant releases its moisture to the reactivation air. 4. The wheel then rotates back into the process air, so it can collect more moisture from the process airstream. From Outdoors WARM To Space 1. The wheel rotates slowly between the process and reactivation airstreams. To Outdoors From Indoors or Outdoors 2. The process air flows through the wheel and the desiccant adsorbs the moisture from the air.
40 System Types Desiccant Dehumidification (DHW) Pros Commercial & industrial grades (durable) Very stable dew point space control Extremely low dew point temps Can be very energy efficient Can reduce or eliminate reheat Cons Not easily understood Requires skilled maintenance Controls may be more complex May require traditional pre-cooling system
