3.2.2 CHILLED WATER PUMP SELECTION

All chilled water pumps shall be horizontal end suction top discharge centrifugal
pump with mechanical seal.

Primary pumps shall be used to circulate constant chilled water in chillers and
secondary pumps are used to circulate chilled water to all the air side cooling
equipment.

3.2.3 OPERATION THEATER HVAC DESIGN & AIR HANDLING UNIT SELECTION
Modern hospital hygiene focuses its interest in air-conditioning on a limited
protection zone, in which air-borne germs must be excluded rigorously from
operation wounds and in which patients may pose concrete dangers (as sources
of the spread of infections to the surroundings). For this OT area, it is required
that the entire aseptic environment of surgery in operating rooms, including the
tables for materials and instruments, a free zone for clean room hand-overs of
sterilized materials and of the OT team in sterilized garb be shielded securely
from the surroundings by a sufficiently large low-turbulence displacement air
flow (laminar flow).

 Design Basis Report for 2B + G + 1 + R Medical Centre
at Al Hebiah First, Dubai.

Low-turbulence Displacement Flow

New guidelines emphasized the importance of low turbulence in this respect.
In order to ensure the necessary air purity in operating theatres or other surgery
rooms with strict hygienic requirements (air-borne particles and germs), very
high volume flows of air with the necessary degree of purity are required.

Ultra clean canopies feature full-surface HEPA filters installed horizontally at the
ends, which are located directly ahead of the fabric diffusers (single-layer or
differential flow). The horizontal HEPA filter area and the fabric provide a uniform
diffusion of the air.
The resistance of the HEPA filters in the filter area canopies is considerably less
than that of end-mounted channel filters, and averages 60 Pa at an outflow

velocity of 0.24 m/s.

Schematic diagram of the mode of operation of an ultra-clean-air canopy in an

OT. The protection zone (the entire aseptic surroundings of a surgical operation,
including the materials and instruments tables, a free zone for clean room hand-
over of sterilized material and the surgical team in sterile garb) is shielded by a
sufficiently large low-turbulence displacement air flow.

Air handling units for operation theatre shall have the following features:
1. 3 stage filtration system (Pre filter, Bag filter, HEPA filter)
2. Air plate to plate heat exchanger for heat recovery purpose.
3. Cooling coil designed to meet the latent load.
4. Standby by motor in case of emergency breakdown.
5. 2 Speed motors for AHU, High speed during operation mode and
low speed during non-operating hours.
6. Built in electric heater (modulating type).

3.2.4 FRESH AIR HANDLING UNIT – SELECTION

In order to provide fresh air to the facility, fresh air handling unit with double
energy recovery wheels shall be utilized, Treated fresh air shall be provided via
Fresh air handling unit, located at roof level, delivering treated fresh air close to
every FCU.

The use of central fresh air and exhaust system will minimize the energy
use while controlling odor and building pressure.

The use of double heat recovery fresh air and exhaust heat recovery units
reduce the cooling capacity and annual energy demand by 60-70 %.

3.2.5 AIR SIDE COOLING – FCU SELECTION

Ceiling mounted ducted fan coil units shall provide cooling to the facility the
units shall be selected at lowest possible external static pressure to minimize the
fans electrical consumption.
The fan coil units can be controlled via a standalone wall mounted controller that
controls a two way control valve on each FCU having its own user interface

4.3.4 Medical waste drainage system

Suitable treatment is required for the waste generated from the following
sections:

 Mortuary

CEC recommends that the waste water from the above sections will be collected
in a storage tank, neutralized before disposing off to the sewer drain.
The maximum temperature of the waste water will be 70 deg C (From CSSD
Boiler drain) and the average water temperature will be 40 deg C. The design

header prior to collection.

Duty on line strainer will retain suspended particles, plastics etc which may be
unintentional components of the waste water coming from the hospital. These
strainers are to be manually isolated and cleaned regularly.

The waste water free from suspended particles will be collected in a waste water
collection tank.

The circulation pumps will be circulating the waste water for on line PH
monitoring and treatment for PH neutralization.

The circulating header will have solenoid valves on the recycle line and also on
the disposal header as shown in the drawing. A sample will be continuously
tapped for the PH monitoring which will be set between 7.0 & 8.5 PH. Whenever
the PH is below 7.0, the On line monitor will give command for the alkaline
dosing pump to add alkaline solution in the waste water. The dosing will
continue till the PH reaches 8.5 and stops automatically.

When the PH of the waste water reaches within the range of 7 & 8.5, the
discharge solenoid valve opens and the return solenoid valve closes

A jockey pump is a small pump

connected to a fire sprinkler system
and is intended to maintain pressure in
a fire protection piping system to an
artificially high level so that the
operation of a single fire sprinkler will
cause a pressure drop which will be
sensed by the fire pump automatic
controller, causing the fire pump to
start. The jockey pump is essentially a
portion of the fire pump's control system.

5.4.2 ELECTRIC PUMP:

Electric pump shall be actuated automatically in case when the fire spreads in
the large area and when jockey pump is inefficient to supply water with the
required amount of pressure.
