1. Installation context
The new D-Body of Bologna’s Maggiore Hospital was conceived and built in 2008 as the facility’s “high-tech container.” The intervention included the construction of new areas, including emergency-urgency, trauma and surgical pathology, general medicine, geriatrics, obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics.
The new air-conditioning system, conceived with the support of a specialized design firm, included several refrigeration units: machinery that, as a whole, needs considerable heat disposal capacity.
2. Proposed solution
MITA Cooling Technologies supplied as many as 12 PME-E Silent cooling towers for the cooling units of the new hospital facility: reduced fan speeds to keep noise down, fiberglass sandwich panels to ensure corrosion resistance. Side doors ensure easy maintenance to the internal parts.
The towers were installed in three condensing basins, with a total capacity of 22,500,000 kcalTh.
3. The key to success
MITA Cooling Technologies’ solution has helped ensure the efficiency and proper operation of the cooling system at Bologna’s Maggiore Hospital. Easy maintenance and low noise levels are elements that convinced the hospital’s partner engineering firm.

HVAC
Healthcare Facilities
Hospital engineers pay attention to two fundamental needs: low noise level and simple maintenance to always keep equipment safe and efficient. Cooling technologies can meet these needs: evaporative and adiabatic coolers with sound-absorbing solutions, preferably with large accesses for internal inspections. The non-corrodible fiberglass can be a plus for useful machinery lifecycle extension.
