There is littleavailable data, however, as to the clin-ical value of such an arrangement. Acombination of a mechanical refrigerat-ing system with an indirect heating andventilating system for cooling purposesis quite possible. Recapitulating the essential features ofa hospital ventilating system may besaid to be: Ample natural or window ventilation.
