The new AHUs we installed as part of a theatre design-and-build project at Whiston Hospital are a very important part of hospital infection control.

We recently handed over a new theatre suite with anaesthetic room and five-bed recovery room at Whiston Hospital. Three new air handling units (AHUs) were required to boost the performance of the hospital's HVAC systems, in line with the requirements of HTM 03-01 (2021).

The AHUs circulate air, clean pollutants and regulate temperature, and they play a vital role in hospital infection control. You can see them in the photos - the red AHUs serve the recovery room and the blue serve the theatres.
