MD-Hi Decontamination Hatch: Reduce HVAC Overload

The problem: HVAC-dependent decontamination designs that waste conditioned air

Decontamination hatches are common in many critical environments, but some designs rely heavily on the facility HVAC system. For example, the MD-Ci takes conditioned room air and then exhausts it to a 100% loss HVAC exhaust, losing conditioned air that would normally be about 90% reused with 10% make-up. That approach increases energy use and places significant strain on HVAC infrastructure.

Impact: higher operating costs, longer cycles and reduced throughput from HVAC strain

Unchecked HVAC strain raises operational risk and cost.

  • Extra energy consumption
  • Longer decontamination cycles
  • Added strain on HVAC infrastructure
  • Potential downtime and reduced facility throughput

Solution: MD-Hi Decontamination Hatch – recirculate and scrub, not exhaustPBSC MD-Hi decontamination hatch installed between cleanroom spaces with stainless steel pass through chamber designed to reduce HVAC load during decontamination cycles

PBSC’s MD-Hi Decontamination Hatch continuously recirculates air from and to a clean environment through 100% scrub catalysts. This delivers fast, reliable and safe cycles without adding load to the HVAC system.

Key features:

  • Recirculation through 100% scrub catalysts, avoiding continuous loss of conditioned air
  • Full PLC control and data logging for GMP compliance
  • Options for integration with access and facility control systems

The FFU Hatch is a top seller because it requires no direct connection to HVAC. Ask if you would like this included in your decontamination strategy.

Results: faster cycles, validated kill rates and GMP ready traceability
