Powerful. Reliable. Energy efficient. Viledon® air filtration solutions for hospitals Freudenberg Filtration Technologies

High standards of air filtration in hospitals The requirements for air filtration in the hospital environment can be summarised in three key statements: 1. rotection of patients, visitors and staff P against airborne contaminants 2. rotection against micro-organisms in P buildings 3. eliable filtering of non disease-causing R particles, as these can also act as a vehicle for spreading bacteria The function of air filters in hospitals Because many interior areas cannot be naturally ventilated, the majority of hospitals are air-conditioned. The increasing height of ward blocks also means that...

Standards and guidelines ensure security The role of HVAC systems is to guarantee a consistently high and hygienic interior air quality. Various guidelines and standards help to ensure that these advanced hygiene requirements, which play a particularly important role in a hospital’s air quality management function, are met at all times. The current standards include in particular Guideline VDI 6022 (in Germany) and the standards DIN 1946-4 and EN 13779. These regulations specifically define key criteria such as structural specifications, intake air quality, air filter quality, hygiene...

Meeting all hygiene requirements The hygiene regulations VDI 6022 formulated clear guidelines for HVAC systems in sensitive buildings like hospitals. The aim of these regulations is to guarantee the hygienic operation of HVAC systems and to protect the people who come into contact with them. Unlike the Viledon® air filtration solutions, conventional filters show significant shortcomings in relation to these regulations. Viledon® solutions fully conform to all the requirements of VDI 6022. Your benefits ■ moisture resistant up to 100% relative humidity ■ The materials used do not provide a...

Fungal spores and pollen under the electron microscope Typical impurities in the air Atmospheric dust Atmospheric dust is composed, among other things, of road dust, soot and organic deposits. Dust particles themselves are not usually pathogenic, but may carry micro-organisms. Pollen Pollen is part of the reproductive cells of plants. Although they are not pathogens, they can cause allergic reactions and asthma. Because pollen is larger than 15 microns, it can be effectively removed from the air using high-quality filters. Fungal spores Fungi contain many hundreds of different...

From a strictly scientific point of view, based on existing epidemiological studies, a carcinogenic effect of glass fibres has neither been conclusively proved nor definitively ruled out. However, breathable glass fibre particles continue to be suspected of causing cancer. (right)...

Viledon® multi-stage filter concept in a hospital Everything relies on the right filter system In order to achieve the required level of indoor air quality, we combine different classes and types of filters into multi-stage systems. Generally, a 2-stage filtration system serves to capture both coarse and fine particles. In operating theatres or isolation rooms, terminal filters remove even finer particles from the air. These sensitive areas are subject to particularly stringent requirements. To ensure the highest standards of clean air in this environment, the air is circulated using low...
