I absolutely agree that your space affects you - not as bad as your situation but we have an air conditioning unit which goes all the time (we can't switch it off) and is noisy.  I find when I am in the office I am sitting with my head bowed (as if ducking away from the overhead unit), which is unusual for me since I normally have a very upright posture.  I also find the noise it makes starts to grate in my head after a few hours.  Perhaps it is not surprising that I have migraine more frequently since I started this job.  We are due to move offices soon otherwise I would be looking for another job.

I find it worrying that a piece of equipment used to burn human tissue is not suitably vented completely away from any work area - I think this needs to be escalated to your Health and Safety team for proper risk assessment and action.

If they won't take it seriously then I don't think you have any option but to look for another job.
