FLÄKT WOODS - Deliver Energy to University Hospital in Finaland
Fläkt Woods has signed a prestigious contract worth approximately
2.5 million Euro to deliver EU air handling units with the Econet
system for TYKS, the Turku University Hospital in Finland.
Fläkt Woods’ modular product range is modern and highly specified,
designed for customers with high demand on quality and energy
efficiency. Each unit can be optimized for acoustic and/or
efficiency requirements. ECONET® is a system inside the EU air
handling unit. In the ECONET® concept, all energy functions, such as
heat recovery, heating and cooling are integrated into one common
circuit. That makes it one of the most flexible and energy efficient
solutions on the market.
Craig MacFadyen, ACE UK Business Development Manager comments: ”In
2004 we delivered 50 EU air handling units for the Turku University
Hospital and now we have been asked to supply an additional 78 units
with the Econet system. The fact that TYKS have decided to return to
us proves that they are happy with both our solutions and us. This
project has the additional element that the customer has been
involved in the development by providing us with input concerning
the ultimate goal. Fläkt Woods is already one of the major players
in the hospital market in Europe. It has completed several projects
such as Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Rikshospitalet
in Oslo, St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim, the University Hospital
in Tromsö, the Medical Centre in Ramstein and St. Thomas’ Hospital
in London. This new order gives strengthens our position in the
hospital market even further.”
Increasing energy prices make energy efficiency more and more
important. Econet is an excellent solution for hospitals and other
service buildings that are open 24/7. The energy efficiency is an
important factor in order to gain as low Life Cycle Costs as
possible. The combination of Fläkt Woods’ EU air handling units and
Econet achieves the optimum investment for the Turku University
Hospital.

Jokela Oy
”When we compared the energy consumption between the new and the old
hospital building we found it to be approximately 50 % less thanks
to Fläkt Woods’ Econet solution. An astonished district-heating
supplier visited the hospital building because he thought there was
something wrong with the controls as a result of the low energy
usage. The readings proved correct and the supplier had to install
smaller measuring instruments in the hospital building. The new
hospital has advanced techniques when it comes to both treatment and
building construction. We decided to let Fläkt Woods be our air
handling unit supplier, as Fläkt Woods provides the best ventilation
solution on the market. It was the combination of the energy
efficient solution, operational safety and the service-mindedness
that convinced us to choose Fläkt Woods.”
The main hospital is situated on Kiinamylly Hill, with the two local
universities as neighbours. DataCity, ElektroCity, BioCity and other
scientific/technical centres are located near by. In 1987, the
Paimio Hospital (formerly the TB-Sanatorium) was united with the
University Hospital.
