CFD Modeling For Ventilation System of Hospital ICU Rooms: Abstract

This project uses CFD modeling to analyze ventilation airflow patterns in a two-bed hospital ICU room divided by curtains and partitions. The initial ventilation system with intake in the ceiling and exhaust in the bathroom showed deficient ventilation at the patient sites. Alternative configurations were studied to provide correct ventilation while maintaining the medical assistance advantages of compartmentalization. The optimum room configuration was determined based on patient comfort and construction costs.

CFD Modeling for ventilation system of hospital ICU rooms

Abstract:
This project analyses the ventilation airflow pattern in a two-bedded
hospital ICU room. The whole space of the room is divided in modules by means
of curtains and internal partition walls. This configuration has many advantages
from the point of view of comfort and medical assistance, but it implies an
important restriction as far as ventilation is concerned. The ventilation system
consists of an induction unit placed inside the hall ceiling blowing into the room
and an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Numerical model solves mass, momentum and
mean age of air equations assuming isothermal and stationary flow. Ventilations
evaluated analyzing the age of air and the velocity fields inside the room. The
results with the initial architectural design of the room show a very deficient
ventilation at the patients site. Alternative configurations have been studied,
allowing for correct ventilation without renouncing to the assistance advantages.
Finally, the optimum configuration of the room is provided, regarding both the
comfort of the patients and the cost of execution.
