BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Essential Healthcare Facility partners with Oklahoma Chiller to provide better air quality to meet new COVID-19 CDC regulations.
The Challenge:
- Aggressive timeline
- Clean Air/Reduce Spread of Virus
- Limited capital available
- Ability to handle an increase in outside air
SOLUTION
Our solution of providing a rental package unit met the short timeline and provided the air quality needed to remain operational according to CDC-issued guidelines. The fixed cost of the rental also worked well given the capital constraints. In summary, the equipment was installed within 24 hours of approval, avoiding the six-to-eight-week lead time for new equipment. Being able to remove the equipment and cost once it was no longer needed, was an additional benefit.
“Oklahoma Chiller was able to quickly provide us a rental solution to meet our needs in the middle of a stressful situation and pandemic, keeping us operational! Oklahoma Chiller truly is essential.”
– Healthcare Building Engineer, Joe
Results
Our package unit was able to provide the critical care facility with the amount of outside air they needed to circulate fresh air for the COVID-19 patient rooms. In addition to adequately condition the room, it also helped mitigate the contaminated air from recirculating into other rooms within the system.
BENEFITS
- Increased outside airflow by 14,000 CFM
- $75k in savings with a rental over purchasing new equipment
