 Market Analysis
On Problems of Air Borne Infection

According to NABH expert diagnosis for infection control Air

condition is one of the major sources of infection in operation
theatre because they are pure re-circulating units and has
convenient pockets for microbial growth which cannot be sealed

During the non functional hours AHU blower will be

operational round the clock (may be without temperature
control)
The AHU of each OT should be dedicated one and should
not be linked to air conditioning of any other area
 What does the NABH guideline say about
AHU without Duct..??
—Air handling in the OT including air Quality:
Air is supplied through Terminal HEPA (High-efficiency particulate
arrestance) filters in the ceiling .The HEPA can be at AHU level if it
not feasible at terminal level inside OT.
The minimum size of the filtration area should extend one feet (i.e.
304.8 millimetres) on each side of the OT table to cover the entire OT
table and surgical team.
—The minimum supply air volume to the OT (in cubic feet per minutes
CFM) should be compliant with the desired minimum air change.
 Our Solution
01 Ductless System 02 Dedicated System 03 Class I near HEPA
This is the only The Conditioning of This system provides
patented product that the system is not best Indoor air quality
provides ductless Air linked with any other with
Handling System areas ,No return duct, Class I near HEPA,
which reduces the No supply duct and it Class II one and half
chances of surgical has single source feet away from HEPA,
site infection and which means no Class III on the table
nosocomial Infection chance of air Class IV anywhere
turbulance inside the Enclosure
 INFECTION CONTROL IN A DAY!!
—With Ceiling mounted Ductless AHU
and Laminar In a same Unit, We
have achieved to make a compact
system which is cost effective and
WHAT Easy to install this Accelerates the
WE OFFER ? process of installation and makes it
possible in a Single Day.

 KEY
FEATURES
 QUALITY OF PANEL
—We have used Aluminium
composite panels with
thermal profile which is great
for profiling as it has multiple
benefits such as it does not
rust , increasing the life of
the Ductless AHU System
Body of Ceiling significantly
Mounted AHU
Cum Laminar Air SOUND OF THE SYSTEM
Flow System
—The Acoustic material used in
the system reduces the noise
of the system to a
considerable amount thus the
noise of the system does not
hamper Doctor’s work.
NO CONDENSATION
—The thermal break system
helps to maintain the difference
between indoor and outdoor
temperature which prevents
condensation on outer Body of
the system. This also helps in
maintaining the required
temperature in the OT even if
the ambient temperature is 50
degree Celsius.
COMPACT SYSTEM
The system does not requires
excessive space for installing
air handling unit room as it has
compact design which is
dedicated for each enclosure or
area
 •Unlike Ducted system •The system Works

TYPES OF FILTERS USED NYLON FILTERS

•Ultra HEPA (high efficiency Nylon pre filters used in
particulate air) filter with 0.3 the system are
micron filtrate which is used to washable filters which
filtrate not only particulate makes this system easy
matter but also air borne to maintain
micro-organisms in indoor
environment

5 Micron and 10 Micron
Pre- filters
BLUE/GOLDEN FINS IN
CONDENSING COILS
01 •Blue/Golden Fins are used in the system which can accelerate the
defrosting process.

02 This technology is 100% eco friendly

03 •It is a thin yet super powerful coating.

•The gold fin condenser coil works exceptionally well even in humid climatic
04 conditions.

05 •It can work in enhancing the lifespan of the condenser.

•Gold fins contribute towards lowering the air conditioner energy consumption

Some Maths
 Electrical Consumption:
Ducted System-Outdoor Unit Working Hours
Generally, Power consumption of 1 ton - 0.8 kW/hr
Tonnage required in Ducted System is 11 tons
Power consumption of 11 tons ducted system = 11X 0.8 kW = 8.8

TOTAL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DUCTED AHU PER YEAR IS Rs. 10,32,804

 Electrical Consumption:
Ductless System Outdoor Unit Working Hours
Generally, Power consumption of 1 ton - 0.8 kW/hr
Tonnage required in Ductless System is 8 tons
Power consumption of 8 tons Ductless system = 8 X 0.8 kW= 6.4 kW/hour
Considering Minimum hours usage= 6 plus 1-hour prior system has to be
switched ON for 20 air cycles

 Calculation For Modular Operation Theater
We often consider cost as the price we bought the product at ,and
almost always neglect the extra cost associate with the product
which over years when added up it become a considerably high
amount in this slide we will calculate all the etxra cost which is
required in a ducted System and Ductless System

Total 19,24,804 2,75,356

As We can see from the calculation the Ducted system consume
7 Times more cost i.e 16,49,448 Rs of the Ductless Air Handling Unit
 Just by installing a Ductless System instead of Ducted you will be
saving 16,49,448
in Maintenance Annually

This difference is so Huge that If we Do the Math we find out that in 5

Months the Ductless system will have saved enough Money to recover
the complete cost of the system and from the 6th Months you will be
making Profit from our system

As The Saying Goes

"A Rupee Saved is A Rupee Earned"

troublesome and as we can see a clear difference of more than 1.42 CR which is a high amount
and furthermore the Ducted AHU has to be scraped after 8 years but as it has a life cycle of 6
