General Ultrasound system requirements
The cooling requirement for a console Ultrasound system with
monitor and on board peripherals, is up to 3800 BTU/h. This
figure does not include cooling needed for lights, people, or
other equipment in the room.
Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/h
demand on the cooling system.
Bright light is needed for Ultrasound system installation, updates
and repairs. However, operator and patient comfort may be
optimized if the room light is subdued and indirect. Therefore a
combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep
in mind that lighting controls and dimmers can be a source of
EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should
be selected to minimize possible interference.
