Ensuring Comfortable, Safe Environments in Hospitals

Automatic doors slide open, and the crisp, filtered air of the hospital lobby replaces the heat and humidity outside. A steady hum of activity fills the space—nurses at workstations, visitors checking in, patients moving through hallways. The air feels comfortable, the lighting bright but not harsh, and everything seems to run seamlessly. Behind the scenes, an intricate network of sensors and controls is constantly working to maintain these conditions.

Hospitals rely on precise environmental control to keep patients and staff safe. Air flows at the right rate, temperature and humidity stay balanced, and critical systems are constantly monitored. Behind the scenes, DwyerOmega sensors help ensure these conditions are met in patient rooms, operating suites, and beyond.

Among these, maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential in creating a healthy environment.

Maintaining proper IAQ involves careful control of temperature, humidity, airflow, and air purity to support patient and staff well-being. Here are some of the IAQ-focused products from our Dwyer brand, which is part of our broader portfolio designed to support safe, efficient healthcare environments.

Navigating Health and Comfort in Airports

In the expansive world of modern travel, airports serve as dynamic hubs connecting people across the globe. However, amid the seamless connectivity and operational efficiency, there exists a nuanced concern—the potential health implications associated with prolonged stays in these bustling environments. From temporary discomforts to potential long-term health risks, both passengers and airport employees may encounter various challenges unique to airport spaces.  

Although the COVID-19 pandemic brought concerns about the impact of the built environment on health out of the proverbial “back room,” experts have been mulling over solutions to these problems for decades. Airports are of particularly high concern as they act as something of a mini city. Jet fuel, exhaust, and other chemicals have a large environmental impact on the outdoor air quality, while carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like formaldehyde, can greatly impact the health and indoor air quality (IAQ) of airport occupants.  Continue reading “Navigating Health and Comfort in Airports”

Semiconductor Tool Parameter Monitoring Solutions

A semiconductor transistor is a part with specific electronic properties that allow it to serve as a component in microchips and modern electronics like phones, laptops, and more. As these components are small and require precise manufacturing methods, there are facilities dedicated to their manufacture.

These facilities consist of several levels including air handlers and scrubbers for exhaust, HEPA room, fab cleanroom, and subfab areas. The control of pressure, flow, and temperature within the facility is essential.

Semiconductor process tools are used for the production of microchips and other microelectronic components. These process tools are highly engineered and have a multitude of applications such as pneumatics, electrical, electronics, fume exhaust, chemical & gas distribution, radio frequency (RF) generation, and ultra-high vacuum. Dwyer products help to ensure that process tools are being monitored and controlled to the system owner’s designated parameters.  Continue reading “Semiconductor Tool Parameter Monitoring Solutions”
