The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is now working to provide high-quality services to visitors and pilgrims of the Holy Mosques employing advanced technologies. The country is now installing the world’s largest air conditioning system in Makkah’s Grand Mosque to ensure that worshipers perform their rituals in the cool and fresh atmosphere inside Al-Haram.
The UV Light Air Purification Tech Guarantees 100% Pure Air in the Mosque
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques works on guaranteeing fresh air inside the Grand Mosque using ultraviolet light air purification technology. The filtration process is carried out nine times a day before emitting the well-treated fresh air into the mosque. The air filtration procedure, which guarantees 100 percent air purity is carried out in three stages, moving air into filters using fans, capturing pollutants and particles, and then pushing back clean air into space.
The chairperson of operation and maintenance administration of the presidency, Mohsen Al-Salami, pointed out that there are two air conditioning stations inside the Grand Mosque which are the largest of their kind in the world: the Ajyad station, which delivers 35,300 refrigeration tons of which nearly 24,500 refrigeration tons are used, and the new central station with a capacity of 120,000 tons of refrigeration.
The Holy Mosque is Also Equipped with Backup Air Conditioning System
The central station is presently feeding the Third Saudi Expansion as well as half of Mas’a. This station will feed all facilities of the Grand Mosque in the future. Al-Salami explained that the presidency also makes available backup air conditioning systems besides the main ones to preserve the set temperatures, in case of malfunction, and ensure the purity of the air inside the Grand Mosque, adding there is periodical maintenance of the air conditioning system is carried out by highly qualified engineers and technicians.
