2015 United States Air Conditioner Society Taiwan branch Distinguished Lecture(2015 ASHRAE Taiwan Chapter Distinguished Lecture)

Effective ventilation inside the operating room is a part of is important for preventing surgical infection. ASHRAE standard 170 type can satisfy the special needs required in operating room.

These requirements include the conversion rate, the air supply air flow rates, pressure, range of diffusers, return-air grille or air filtration system. This discussion examines and compares the different operating room design guidelines. Focus is based on field sampling experiment, the actual proportion of laboratory experiments, computer modeling to identify and enhance existing operating room design.

The seminar shows the typical operating conditions and the wound of temperature measurement. We put in a real size experiment, important distribution of air pollution. These distributions after being with hydrodynamic modeling results are compared. For operating room ventilation we will come up with better solutions and discussion.

ASHRAE Standard 170 provides specific requirements for the design of hospital operating room ventilation systems, including specifications for the air change rates, supply air face velocity, room pressurization, diffuser coverage area, return grille locations, and air filtration systems. This talk reviews and compares various current OR design guidelines. The focus is to verify and enhance the current design practices for hospital operating rooms by conducting on-site field experiments, full-scale laboratory experiments, and computational modeling. The talk presents the results from the field measurements of typical OR conditions and typical wound temperatures. Key findings of air and contaminant distributions in a controlled full-scale laboratory are reported, which are further compared against computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling results. Potential improvement solutions to the OR ventilation conditions are discussed.
