Maintaining climate control for specialist medical imaging engineers
Time and quality are essential when working to support the medical sector. That’s why Health Imaging Solutions Ltd.; a specialist service support company based in Dinnington, South Yorkshire looked to Fujitsu to provide a comfortable and stable environment for their employees to service and repair medical diagnostic imaging equipment. Their chosen solution; a Fujitsu AirstageTM VRII heat recovery system, which provides individual climate control in offices, meeting rooms and common areas. Plus, dedicated server support split systems across their premises.
The space saving 28kW, VRF outdoor module has a footprint of just 0.71m2 and has been located in a purpose built compound adjacent to the building. With three individual refrigerant branch boxes inside; each connected to a four-way cassette, the module is capable of repositioning its electrical panel for better access.
Mark Derriman, Fujitsu’s Southern Business Development Manager tells us why he selected this particular model: “Having an existing ceiling grid of 600 x 600mm, the compact cassette’s chassis fits perfectly without having to adjust the grid; and kept the work required for installation to a minimum. Our new circular flow cassette provides 360-degree air flow and worked out an ideal choice for the large meeting room; as the air that is distributed reaches every corner.” He added: “The installation in these offices and meeting rooms is all about thermal comfort, hence the reason for a heat recovery VRF. The system can provide simultaneous cooling and heating and works by reusing heat energy rather than wasting it. The system is possible of reaching operating efficiencies of up to 8.82; that’s over 800%. We commissioned the system by reducing the cassettes pre-set external static pressure selections within the controllers. With a low ceiling, the people sat under our units don’t suffer from any draughts and so are always comfortable when working.”
The installation was carried out by Orpington-based Friargreen Construction Ltd., who specialise in turn-key projects for clients working in the health care sector. Managing Director, Toby Sparks said: “The project had to be one of quality. Not only the installation but also the equipment. The wall mounted systems that are installed are located in rooms with servers that are operating when staff are servicing or testing CT scanning equipment. Failure to regulate the temperature of these servers could result in huge losses to the business in down-time. We chose to use Fujitsu because we have been extremely impressed with the high level of support they have provided in the past and their equipment is known for its reliability. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for projects like these. They are a great partner to have in our supply chain.”
