Mortuary Extract
(OP)
Any body (No pun intended) got any info on mortuary extract ventilation.
Do I need to filter the exhaust with a safe change HEPA filter system?
What sort of air change do I need.
Does anyone have a list of manufacturers who make ventilated disecting tables.
Are there high risk and low risk mortuaries..i.e. ones for low risk 'patients' and high risk (I.E. people who have TB, AIDS etc) or should the mortuary be treated as all high hazard.

A Gen purpose carbon doesnt work!
Air changes subject to your room or table size but all NHS centres I have seem cope well using a single 600x600x300 filter or a v formation to increase "dwell time"
You will usually also require a Pre filter G4 and a secondary filter F7, then HEPA H13 OR higher depending on "special requirements"

25% taken high near ceiling, 25% taken low at floor,
& 50% taken at counter top height at the foot of the prep bed above the drain.
All supply from ceiling across the room from exh. intakes.
Also throw in an additional 24/7 toilet room fan (50-100 cfm) to keep the entire room negative when not occupied (by limber or timber).
I've designed a number of these & have had good luck using ERV's or HRV's for the exhaust air & tempering the supply with some electric duct heaters.
A/C can be done as well by delivering ERV air into an airhandler with a matching airflow, or with a Mr.Slim or similar mini split A/C or Heatpump.
