Abstract

At present time, hospitals and treatment centers are one of the most important places where people travel to receive health and treatment services in different countries of the world. But in some cases, the process of providing services by these centers inevitably leads to the transmission and spread and epidemic of diseases between people. This can even be life-threatening for some patients with vulnerable conditions. So, considering the sensitivity of the transmission of diseases between people and the risks of life threatening, the use of proper ventilation and air purification systems in medical centers, especially indoor and closed spaces such as elevators, where people gather in these spaces without observing social distance, can be help prevent the chain spread of diseases. Therefore, considering the existence of microorganisms in hospital environment, this paper, concentrated on designing a suitable ventilation system especially for air disinfection and purification in the elevators in hospital and medical centers.
