The Challenge
Provide rapid relief to busy hospital during pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic places extra burden on hospitals and in Milan, Italy, this led to a plan to separate the infected and non-infected patients.
The triage would minimise the risk of infection, but it would need an external temporary structure to screen new patients as they arrived.
A large tent was erected to house the new patients – but the space required temperature control to create the best environment for both the sick and the brave staff who were issuing treatments.
A steady and precise 22oC was the temperature needed – and this could not deviate or be interrupted.
Every hour that passed was critical – so the hospital organisation - Istituto clinico Humanitas IRCCS - contacted Aggreko to step in.
