Hospitals and medical clinics bring together spaces with different functions and technical requirements. The operating suite, intensive care units, burn patient rooms, laboratories and storage areas require microclimate control matched to the activity carried out there, while instrument sterilisation and laundry operations require dedicated sources of process steam.
The Romanian hospital building design code NP 015-2022 sets specific requirements for the different categories of medical spaces.
Temperature and humidity values, the need for a dedicated system and the configuration of the installation are determined separately for each zone.
Texco supplies Condair systems for precision humidification and dehumidification, as well as JUMAG and VEIT steam generators for medical and technical applications that require a dedicated steam source.
Resistive element steam humidifier, with a forced steam distribution variant and humidity control to within ±1% RH using reverse osmosis treated water. Recommended for critical applications such as operating suites, testing laboratories and cleanrooms.
Electrode steam humidifier with modulating control and the option of BMS integration via Modbus or BACnet. Generates steam for humidification applications in HVAC installations.
Gas-fired steam humidification system, suited to high capacities. It can be integrated into the air handling units serving large hospital departments or buildings.
Condensation dehumidification system for storage areas holding medicines, medical supplies and sterile instruments, with air distribution directly into the room or through ductwork.
Compact gas-fired generator for saturated steam at controlled pressure, with start-up in under 5 minutes. Suited to supplying steam to industrial and medical applications, depending on the configuration of the installation.
Compact electric steam generator, available in versions with capacities of approximately 3–9 kg/h, intended for applications with low steam requirements, including in hospitals and pharmacies.

Texco analyses the zone being served, the existing installation, the parameters required by the design brief and the specific requirements of the medical activity. The operating suite, the intensive care unit, the burn patient room, the laboratory, the storage area and the laundry are each assessed separately.
The requirements for humidification, dehumidification and process steam generation are established separately, because each application involves different calculation data and different criteria for selecting the equipment.
For humidification systems, the analysis covers the HVAC air flow rate, the proportion of outdoor air, the required temperature and humidity, the operating regime and the control accuracy.
For dehumidification, the checks cover the volume of the space, the existing temperature and humidity, the target value, the sources of moisture and the air changes.
For steam generators, the calculation covers the average and peak flow, the required pressure, the consumption of the connected equipment, the degree of simultaneous use and the operating hours.
Humidification and dehumidification systems are integrated into the HVAC installation or configured for direct distribution, depending on the design. Commissioning includes setting the parameters and configuring the equipment interface.
Where the design calls for centralised monitoring, TEXCO supplies the data and interfaces available for the equipment, and integration into the building’s BMS is carried out together with the automation specialist.
Texco supplies the technical documentation available for the equipment, the parameter sheets and the documents relating to installation and commissioning, in line with the configuration and the requirements of the design.
The target value is established according to the intended use of the space, the medical requirements and the parameters set by the HVAC design. The operating suite, the intensive care unit, burn patient areas, storage areas and technical spaces may have different requirements and must be assessed separately.
Whether a dedicated system is needed depends on the parameters required for that particular room and on the configuration of the HVAC installation serving it. The solution is established by the design, according to the air flow rate, the existing conditions and the control accuracy required.
Patients with extensive burns can lose significant amounts of water and heat through the injured surface, and the microclimate conditions may differ from those needed in a standard operating room. The values are established according to the medical requirements and the design of the installation.
The analysis covers the volume of the space, the HVAC air flow rate, the existing temperature and humidity, the target value, the operating regime and the control accuracy required by the design. The system configuration is established in relation to the installation serving that particular zone.
The capacity is established in kg of steam per hour, according to the consumption of the connected equipment, the required pressure, the degree of simultaneous use and the consumption peaks. The sizing must account for how the installation is actually operated.
Yes. The operating suite, the intensive care unit, storage areas for medicines and medical supplies or other spaces may have different conditions and target values. Depending on the existing situation and the requirements of each zone, the solution may involve humidification, dehumidification or separate control of the two functions.
