Clinical cooling keeps hospital theatre operational
When a private hospital's operating theatre air conditioning malfunctioned on a Friday night, requiring the temperature to be maintained below 20°C for critical surgeries, Aggreko rapidly deployed two FC50 chillers. These were installed and operational within 36 hours, ensuring that scheduled life-saving procedures could proceed without delay.

The Challenge
To quickly cool and maintain temperature of an operating theatre
Late night on a Friday is not the best time to have your air conditioning malfunction. Especially when it's in a hospital that relies on optimised temperatures to perform life-saving surgery.
With the failure of the operating theatre's chiller, our Aggreko solution was required to maintain the theatre temperature below 20C - ASAP. The hospital didn't just need urgent temperature control - delays could have life-changing consequences.
