Chamber Installation Requirements
Confirm these before you sign a lease and long before you place an order. Retro-fitting a three-phase supply, widening a doorway or strengthening a slab after the equipment has arrived is the most expensive way to discover a requirement.
Covers HBOT chamber installation requirements, cryotherapy chamber installation requirements, photobiomodulation beds and cold plunge.
What each system demands of a site
| Requirement | HBOT chamber | Cryotherapy chamber | PBM bed | Cold plunge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical supply | Three-phase for compressor and concentrator | Three-phase, sized to the compressor rack | Single-phase | Single-phase, dedicated chiller circuit |
| Plant room | Compressor, dryer, receiver — isolated | Cascade compressor rack — isolated | None | Chiller and filtration |
| Heat rejection | Compressor heat, ducted or ventilated | Substantial — condenser siting is critical | Room ventilation only | Condenser ventilation |
| Floor loading | High — pressure vessel plus occupants | Moderate to high with the plant rack | Standard | High when filled |
| Access route | Critical — vessel must reach the room intact | Critical — cabin sections and rack | Standard doorway | Standard, shell may be sectional |
| Ceiling height | Above the vessel plus service clearance | Above the cabin plus service clearance | Canopy clearance | Standard |
| Drainage | Not required | Not required | Not required | Required |
| Acoustic isolation | Recommended for the compressor | Strongly recommended for the rack | Not required | Recommended for the chiller |
Where installations actually fail
- No three-phase supply. The single most common blocker. Confirm availability and the cost of bringing it in before the lease is signed.
- The access route. A chamber that fits the room but not the corridor, the lift or the stairwell. Measure the whole path from the street, not just the door.
- Floor loading above ground level. Pressure vessels and filled plunge tubs are heavy. First-floor and above needs a structural opinion.
- Nowhere to put the plant. Compressor and condenser racks are noisy and reject significant heat. A plant position that was never designed in becomes a corridor cupboard that overheats.
AAAyan carries out a site survey against every one of these before an order is confirmed, and issues equipment load, power and clearance data early enough for your architect and electrical contractor to design around it.
The order that works
- Site survey and equipment data issued to your design team.
- Electrical and civil works completed to the issued specification.
- Delivery and rigging along the confirmed access route.
- Positioning, connection and pressure or pull-down testing.
- Calibration, safety validation and handover documentation.
- Operator training, then soft open.
