Small venues, busy dining rooms and separate kitchens
Vía Argentina runs through the El Cangrejo neighborhood and links Vía España with Calle Manuel Espinosa Batista. Along it there are restaurants, bars, boutiques and music shops, as well as residential buildings, with hotels nearby and a Metro station where it meets Vía España.
In a small venue the unit is usually a single one, and visitors notice the air as soon as they sit down. Many businesses stay open late, so the visit is coordinated with each person in charge in a slot that does not clash with service. The kitchen is a different service: its extraction is referred to Climatiza and the work here covers the dining room air. The area is about 2 km by road from the Climatiza office, in an approximate calculation.
Data point: In an air system that looked clean to the naked eye, 10⁵ to 10⁶ viable bacteria per cm² were counted on the coil fins (Hugenholtz and Fuerst, 1992). It is a case measured in a single system, not a general figure, which is why the camera looks inside before deciding.
