Abstract: An air handling system for circulating conditioned air through an environment, said system comprising an air intake unit and an air extractor. The air intake unit comprises: a first heating stage; a condensing stage configured to output a humidity-controlled airstream at no greater than a first predetermined temperature, said first predetermined temperature selected such that when the humidity-controlled airstream is further heated to a second predetermined temperature producing a heated and humidity-controlled airstream, the heated and humidity-controlled airstream has a predetermined maximum humidity; a second heating stage configured to heat the heated and humidity-controlled airstream to the second predetermined temperature, and an output assembly configured to output the heated and humidity-controlled airstream at the second predetermined temperature to the environment.

Abstract: A service network system 1, for providing services to an operating theatre facility 3, comprising, an air handling unit 19, an interface pre-assembled module 13, a receiver pre-assembled module 11, an operating theatre pre-assembled module 9, ventilation supply ductwork 50,55,77 and ventilation return ductwork 52,57,79. The ventilation supply ductwork 50, 55,77 and ventilation return ductwork 52, 57,79 pass from the air handling unit 9 then through the interface pre-assembled module 13, then through the receiver pre-assembled module 11 and then into the operating theatre pre-assembled module 9.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a walkway module for providing a walkway on a roof of a facility. The walkway module comprises: a raised walkway; one or more handrails extending along at least a portion of the walkway; and a services bay located below the walkway and arranged to support services comprising one or more conveying components, the conveying components arranged to convey at least one of a fluid, power and an electrical signal. The walkway module is connectable to a further walkway module to provide a walkway network on a roof of a facility.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modular building construction system for fabricating a facility. The system comprises a room module and a service network module. The service network module is arranged to support a plurality of conveying components that provide at least part of a service network in the facility, each conveying component arranged to convey at least one of a fluid, power and an electrical signal. An outer surface of the room module is connectable to an outer surface of the service network module such that, when connected, the service network module is located outside the room module, thereby locating the conveying components of the service network outside the room module.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a roof module for distributing conveying components between a roof and an inside of a facility. The roof module comprises: a lid comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and one or more apertures extending therebetween, the one or more apertures for receiving one or more conveying components, the conveying components arranged to convey at least one of a fluid, power and an electrical signal; and a riser arranged to support one or more conveying components. The lower surface of the lid is a roof sealing surface wherein, in use, the lower surface makes contact with a facility roof to cover an aperture in the roof, and wherein the riser is located adjacent to the lower surface of the lid such that, when the lower surface covers the aperture, the riser is located inside the aperture to support the conveying components inside the facility.

Abstract: A facility 202 comprising: a processing suite 210 having at least one processing room; an entrance suite 204 having at least one entrance room, the entrance suite 204 providing an entrance to the facility 202; at least one intermediate suite 208 having at least one intermediate room, the intermediate suite 208 connecting the processing suite 210 with the entrance suite 204 such that persons can transfer from the entrance suite 204 to the processing suite 210 via the intermediate suite 208, and a ventilation system connected to each of the processing suite 210 and the intermediate suite 208, wherein the ventilation system is configured to maintain a predetermined pressure difference between said at least one processing room and said at least one intermediate room.

Abstract: An aerosol mask may include a mask body, having a top portion of the mask body cut short to prevent the intrusion of the aerosol mask into the eyes of a patient, a bottom portion of the mask body being adapted to fit under the chin of the patient; a swivel adapter attached to the center of the aerosol mask; and an elbow member coupled to the swivel adapter.

Abstract: A structure or cooling a large cylindrical storage tank has the shape of an inverted funnel and is intended to be disposed over the tank receiving the upper portion therein and internal struts are provided to separate the funnel wall from the tank wall, The separation allows the entry of air into the funnel structure so that as the structure is heated by the sun air currents will rise through the funnel exiting the chimney which will result in an inflow of air into the funnel around the walls of the tank.
