Taipei Hospital Ventilation-10 Heat Recovery Wheel

Modern hospital design demands a balance between stringent infection control and energy efficiency. In a recent project located in Taipei, Taiwan, HOLTOP successfully implemented a comprehensive fresh air and energy recovery system across the facility.

Technical Engineering Standards To ensure a healthy environment for staff and patients, we deployed 10 sets of Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) featuring both total-energy wheels and plate heat exchangers. Our design approach strictly adhered to the following ventilation requirements for diverse hospital zones:

• Administrative Areas: Office and duty rooms utilize an air circulation ratio of 4–5 times/hour, while meeting rooms are calculated based on occupancy density (40m³/hour per person) to maintain positive pressure.

• Clinical Wards: Airflow is tailored to ward type, ranging from 40m³/sickbed in infectious wards to 60m³/sickbed in children’s wards, ensuring negative pressure where required.

• Support Spaces: Corridors operate at a ventilation rate of 2 times/hour, while toilets and utility areas are maintained at 10–15 times/hour to ensure strict negative pressure control.

This project highlights HOLTOP’s ability to provide customised HVAC solutions that meet the complex, multi-functional requirements of modern medical infrastructure.
