Negative Air and HEPA Filtration Can Cause Indoor Air Quality Concerns

Increased efforts to filter the air and balance pressures to control the spread of viruses can lead to unwanted temperature and humidity in hospital rooms, temporary facilities, and other critical care spaces.

Today’s new issues are based on the increased use of air scrubbers, air filtration, and other methods of protecting indoor air quality to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. These machines are proving critical to creating safer environments for human occupants, but they also can impact the climate in the room. While the air in the new space may be free of harmful contaminants, you may now find unwanted humidity and temperature levels within the controlled space.

Queue Polygon’s engineered solutions. While air scrubbers and filtration systems help keep the controlled space free of mold spores and other bio-hazards (replace with contaminants), desiccant dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, while warming it, maintaining proper relative humidity. Air conditioners built within the dehumidifier then bring the air temperature down to a more appropriate level for the people and materials in the controlled space. In any space that utilizes HEPA filter-equipped air scrubbers, it is vital that humidity levels are kept in check. Our temporary climate control equipment does just that.
