    GENERAL FEATURES OF CLEAN ROOM

    Protocol for clean room provides general guidance andbasic aw areness

    Successful clean room maintenance really relies onindividual users understanding, participation and selfdiscipline.

    Everyone, whether faculty member, student user or staffengineer, is equally important to the success of theprotocol.

    Trust , underst anding and shared r esponsibilit y among allusers ensures the success of every user.

    LAMI NAR AI R FLOW CLEAN ROOM

    Laminar air f low is used w hen low airborne concentrat ions of

    part icles or bacteria are required.

    This air flow pattern is in one direction, usually horizontal or

    vertical at a uniform speed of betw een 60 t o 90 ft / min. andth roughout t he ent ire space.

    The air velocity is sufficient to remove relatively largepart icles before t hey sett le onto surf aces.

    Any contaminant released into the air can therefore beimm ediat ely removed by this laminar f low of air, w hereas theturbulent air f low ventilated system relies on mixing anddilution t o remove cont amination.

    Any obstructions wil l cause the laminar air f low to be

    t urned into turbulent air f low around the obstr uctions.

    Higher contamination concentrations will be established

    in t he turbulent areas.

    Air changes per unit of t ime are relat ed to t he volume ofthe room and are many times greater than thosesupplied to a t urbulent air f low Clean room.

    The general method of ventilation used in turbulent air f lowclean rooms is similar t o that found in bui ldings such as off ices,schools, malls, manufactur ing plant s, audit orium s, shops, et c.

    The air is supplied by an air conditioning system throughdiff users in the ceiling.

    However, a clean room differs from an ordinary vent ilated roomin three w ays. These are increased air supply, t he use of highefficiency filt ers and room pressurization .

    The increased air supply is an important aspect of particlecontrol. A typical turbulent air f low clean room would have atleast 10 air changes per hour and lik ely to have betw een 20 and

    60.

    This additional air supply is mainly provided to dilute to anacceptable concentration the contamination produced in theroom.

    High efficiency fi l t ers are used to f i l t er the supply air int o a cleanroom to ensure the removal of small particles. The high

    efficiency filt ers used in clean rooms are installed at t he point ofair discharge into t he room.

    Room pressurization is mainly provided to ensure that untreated

    air does not pass fr om dir t ier adjacent areas int o t he clean room.

    The clean room is positively pressurized with respect to thesedirtier areas. This is done by extracting less air from the roomthan is supplied to it .

    Temperat ure and Humidit y

    Most clean room require year-round cooling as a result of the fan

    energy associated w it h high clean room airfl ow as w ell as t he heatgenerated by the process, people, and light ing w it hin t he facilit y.

    Temperature control is required to provide stable conditions for

    mat erials, instruments, and personnel comf ort .

    Human comf ort requirements typically call for temperatu res in t herange of 72F to 75 F, since workers frequently wear clean roomgarments over st reet clothes.

    Humidity control is necessary to prevent corrosion, condensationon w ork surfaces, eliminate st atic elect ricit y, and prov ide personnelcomfort.

    The human comfort zone is generally in the range of 30% t o 70%relative humidity

    A clean room facil ity may consist of multiple rooms withdifferent requirements for contamination cont rol.

    Rooms in a clean facility should be maintained at staticpressures higher than atmospheric to prevent infi ltration bywind.

    Positive differential pressures should be maintained betweenthe rooms to ensure air f lows from the cleanest space to theleast clean space.

    The only exception to using a positive differential pressure iswhen dealing with specific hazardous materials wheregovernmental agencies require the room to be at a negativepressure.

    Venti lati on and Make Up Air

    Ventilation and makeup air volumes are dictated by the amountrequired to maintain indoor air quality, replace process exhaustand for building pressurization.

    This provides assurance that carbon dioxide and oxygen remain in

    balance, t hat formaldehyde and other vapors given off by buildingmaterials and furniture are diluted, and that air changes occurwith sufficient frequency to minimize the chance for highconcent ration of airborne pollutant s w ith in t he building.
