Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems, through its brand Climaveneta, has recently supplied HVAC units to the Hyvinkää City Hospitalin Finland.
Hyvinkää City Hospital’s new H-building will provide services for nearly 200.000 residents in the coming years. The new H-building will be completed by the end of 2018 and it is a joint project of the Hyvinkää City and the Helsinki & Uudenmaa health care district (HUS-Kuntayhtmä). The building includes wards, a children’s department, psychiatric department, and rehabilitation services. The hospital has a combined emergency department that produces round-the-clock health centre emergency services for the city of Hyvinkää and night emergency services for other municipalities in the area. The hospital takes a modern approach to its obstetrics and gynecological operations with high-end facilities and equipment.
Since the emergency clinic is visited by more than 50,000 patients annuallythe internal comfort of building takes on the upmost importance. The air conditioning system in healthcare applications must grant well-being of the patients, while meeting the needs of the processes related to medical activities (operating rooms), and patient files (data centers).
Therefore, when it came time to update the HVAC system, Climaveneta water cooled, high efficiency chillers were chosen. Going into detail 1 FOCS-W/S 1502 and 1 i-FX-W (1+i)/S 1752 have been selected for a total cooling capacity of 1005 kW, and supplied with the silent version to provide acoustic comfort to the patients. The i-FX (1+i) range of chillers is specifically designed to operate at very high levels of efficiency at both full and partial loads. In addition to the chillers, 3 ABU close control units were installed in the hospital’s data center.
