Reliability
The healthcare environment requires maintaining constant temperature and humidity conditions. Any instability of air conditioning equipment can have a significant impact on medical procedures, and may even pose a threat to the lives of patients.
-
- Diverse Demands
-
Complex and Varied Functions
Medical buildings cover a variety of functional areas, such as operating rooms, diagnosis and treatment rooms, inpatient wards, laboratories, outpatient clinics, pharmacy management areas, biochemistry departments, etc. Each functional room has great differences in requirements for temperature, humidity, fresh air, air flow, air purification, and air pressure.
-
Large Differences in Usage Time
Different departments have different usage times. Some, like inpatient wards, need to operate throughout the day. Operating rooms may operate for a short period, and emergency treatment rooms need to be available at any time. This leads to a large difference between peak and valley loads. There is a need for early cooling or heating supply, as well as delayed stopping of cooling or heating supply, resulting in a complex seasonal conversion of the system. For example, the rehabilitation departments of some hospitals may need to provide a suitable temperature and humidity environment in advance during the seasonal transition to meet the rehabilitation needs of patients.
-
Diverse Control Objectives
It is necessary not only to meet the basic needs of cooling and heating but also to achieve a high level of comfort. Appropriate air temperature and humidity can promote the recovery of patients. Patients with different constitutions and different medical equipment have different requirements for indoor temperature and humidity, which need to be controlled independently.

- Issues Related to Energy Consumption and Space
-
High Energy Consumption
The spaces in the healthcare industry are often large, resulting in more cooling loss. This places high requirements on the energy efficiency of air conditioning units. In large medical centers, areas such as long corridors and large waiting areas inevitably have cooling loss, and an efficient and energy-saving air conditioning system is needed to control energy consumption costs. At the same time, with the global emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction and the implementation of the "dual carbon" strategy, hospitals are actively seeking air conditioning solutions to reduce energy consumption.
-
Tight Space Utilization
The layout of each functional area in hospitals is compact. Air conditioning equipment needs to save as much installation space as possible while ensuring performance. For example, in some small community clinics, the space is limited. If the air conditioning equipment is too large in size, it will occupy too much valuable space.
-
- Special requirements for operating environments
-
Avoid noise interference
Most hospital departments have high noise requirements, as noise can affect patient recovery and interfere with medical staff's work. In ward areas or special departments requiring quiet environments, noise from air conditioning operation may disturb patient rest or interfere with medical staff's accurate auscultation.
-
High air quality requirements
Medical buildings often have poor air circulation, necessitating effective air purification measures to prevent airborne disease transmission and cross-infection. Air quality is crucial for the health of patients and medical staff, ensuring that the air delivered indoors is clean, sterile, and odor-free.
Overview of Solutions
High Reliability
During the production process of products, Veck conducts strict quality inspections for each process to ensure that every air conditioning device leaving the factory strictly adheres to industry high standards.
Solving Energy Consumption and Space Problems
Based on the company's concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, Veck has designed a variety of energy-saving products for the healthcare industry. For example, the DC variable frequency direct expansion - condensing heat recovery series is used for dehumidification and reheating to avoid the problem of "cooling and heating offset". The four-pipe and triple-supply products can provide free hot water during refrigeration, and operate in a low-carbon and energy-saving manner. The integrated medical precision air conditioning unit adopts an ultra-thin design, and products with a compact structure, such as the four-pipe air-cooled screw unit, have a cold and heat integrated design and a compact structure. They can be reasonably installed in the limited space of medical buildings to avoid excessive occupation of space.
Meeting Operating Environment Requirements
During the design and manufacturing process of products, factors that reduce noise generation are also taken into consideration. For example, through reasonable fan selection and structural design, the products can operate normally in a noise-sensitive environment like a hospital without disturbing patients and medical staff. Through the high-performance purification ability of the medical air purification unit, the airborne transmission of diseases is prevented. In aspects such as the design of the air outlet and the treatment of the inner wall of the box, measures are taken to reduce dust accumulation and the growth of bacteria, ensuring the cleanliness of the air supplied indoors and meeting the strict requirements of medical buildings for air quality.

Medical Air Conditioning Units
Specific Response Strategies and Product Features: The Veck medical air conditioning unit features a patented structural design with broken cold bridges, forced sealing, no sanitary dead corners, and high strength. This design enables the unit to provide a more reliable, energy-efficient, and clean solution for the cleanrooms in the medical purification industry. Advantages of the Heat and Moisture Exchange Components: The unit can choose between a direct evaporative coil and a chilled water coil for cooling and dehumidification. Moreover, the selection of these coils is designed and calculated using professional selection software, ensuring that the selection parameters of the heat exchange coils are consistent with the actual operating parameters. This allows for very precise regulation of temperature and humidity in different medical environments. For example, in some special treatment rooms or pharmaceutical inspection rooms that are sensitive to temperature and humidity, whether it is necessary to quickly dehumidify, effectively cool down, or heat up, the unit can operate stably according to the set requirements.

Operating Room Dual Cooling Sources Deep Dehumidification Fresh Air Unit
Aiming at the persistent problem of excessive humidity in operating rooms, Veck uses a new fresh air unit with dual cold sources for deep dehumidification in operating rooms to pre-treat the fresh air and obtain dry fresh air. The fresh air independently bears the outdoor load and the indoor moisture load, while the circulating fan unit only bears the indoor sensible heat load. Through this temperature and humidity separate control system, the problem of excessive humidity in operating rooms and laboratories can be effectively solved. Advantages in the Precision and Efficiency of Humidity Control:This unit can control the indoor humidity within an ideal range with high precision. Compared with some traditional dehumidification solutions, it can respond more quickly and stably to humidity fluctuations, improving the quality of humidity control in the entire medical environment. It ensures that the normal operation of high-precision instruments and equipment is not affected by humidity, extends the service life of the equipment, and at the same time provides a favorable air environment for the treatment and recovery of patients.

Dehumidification and Reheating Solutions for Purification Air Conditioning Units
During the dehumidification process of the purification air conditioning unit, reheating is a major energy consumption point, and the four-pipe air-cooled screw (scroll) chiller-heater unit can solve this problem. In the summer cooling season, the unit can provide free hot water. For dehumidification and reheating, the free hot water provided during the refrigeration process of the air source heat pump can be utilized for reheating, which solves the problem of the heat source for dehumidification and reheating of the purification unit. Features of Operational Stability and Reliability:The four-pipe air-cooled screw (scroll) chiller-heater unit can continuously provide hot water, ensuring the stable operation of the purification unit.
