SAS INTERNATIONAL - CHILLED CEILING SYSTEM FOR LIMERICK HOSPITAL

When the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick was looking to the refurbishment of its Intensive Care Neo-natal Department, it turned to a chilled ceiling solution from SAS International. The client specified a SAS International chilled ceiling system to help combat the heat levels generated from the special hospital equipment used in this unit.
The radiant chilled ceiling panels use water as a cooling medium which removes heat from the Neo-natal Unit’s wards as it flows through the system. The chilled ceilings work by radiating energy (cooling) downwards, this means there are no perceptible air movement and noise levels to contend with. These elements are integral to the comfort factor of this demanding environment, which deals with critically ill new born babies.
Tony McBride, maintenance manager, commented: “The metal ceiling solution provides both an inherently hygienic, easy to clean solution and one that is very practical, with the integral SAS CoolCeil elements.” He went on to say “The installation proved straightforward and we’re pleased with the finished look.”
Conventional air conditioning solutions using mechanical alternatives can generate obtrusive noise, and the aggressive effects of modern synthetic refrigerants used in such systems has been cause for some concern. This was also an important consideration for Limerick Hospital.
Chilled ceilings can offer significant reductions in whole life-cycle costs due to reduced maintenance requirements, brought about by fewer moving parts, and provide a very energy efficient solution and this was also recognised.
Hinge-down panels were employed to allow access to the services in the Unit. The incorporation of light fittings within the ceiling and co-ordination with the mechanical pipework and other services for an integrated system was a key factor. SAS International’s Project Management team in Ireland worked closely with Limerick Hospital’s maintenance department to provide the best solution for this important facility and its role in dealing with sick and vulnerable infants.
SAS International’s dedicated Dublin office has recently completed another chilled ceiling project at 75 St Stephen’s Green (formerly Colmstock House), Dublin and is supplying chilled ceilings to International House, Dublin.
