Abstract

In Vietnam, the operating room (OR) is used with max productivity. So, how to maintain comfort environment level, which is one of the assignments in designing and installing the operating room. In this study, the OR model is designed based on ASHRAE 170 – 2013 standard [1], and dimensions are referred to as “Comparison of Operating Room Ventilation System in the Protection of the Surgical Site” [2]. ANSYS CFX is used for calculating and simulating velocity and temperature of surveyed air points inside the room by many cases. A face temperature between 20,3 and 20,6 °C and a velocity of around 0,15 to 0,18 m/s is provided from the same laminar diffuser array. From the results, the OR comfort level is reviewed through the ADPI index.

Keyphrases: ADPI, ANSYS CFX, Diffuser, operating room, ventilation
