A: A HEPA fan filter unit is a filter placed into the ceiling of the cleanroom which removes particles from the air being passed into the cleanroom. It typically consists of 2x4 HEPA filter and a fan that pushes the air thru the filter.
A: ISO-5/class 100 cleanrooms use 2” ceiling grid to allow 100% HEPA ceiling coverage since 2” grid allows cleanroom lights and sprinklers to be mounted on the grid. Other cleanrooms use aluminum cased barrier ceiling grid for corrosion resistance. Some cleanrooms use FRP ceiling grid to avoid having metal in the cleanroom. Standard one inch painted steel ceiling grid is the choice of cost conscious cleanroom customers.
A: Different customer cleanroom wall needs include chemical resistance, static dissipative, impact resistance and cost. Cleanroom manufacturers use melamine, vinyl, FRP, painted aluminum, stainless steel and static dissipative painted aluminum surfaces to meet these needs.
A: A cleanroom monitoring system measures the cleanroom’s temperature, room air pressure, and humidity. The cleanroom monitoring systems have digital readouts, record the data and has capability to transmit the data to facilities build management system.
A: A heat welded cleanroom vinyl floor eliminates cracks and crevices that bacteria can grow in. It has excellent chemical resistance, durability and is easy to clean. It is the preferred flooring for pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
A:Often cleanrooms run the heat welded vinyl flooring up the wall to form a 4” cove. This protects the cleanroom wall from the caustic chemicals used for cleaning the heat welded vinyl flooring.
A: A cleanroom magnehelic gauge measures the differential air pressure between the cleanroom and outside the cleanroom. This allows the cleanroom operator to see that the HEPA fan filter units and air conditioning are functioning.
A: A cleanroom bench provides a higher class (typically ISO-5 or 6) work area. It has its own HEPA filter air source.
A: RSR stands for room side removable. With an RSR HEPA fan filter unit the operator can remove and replace the HEPA filer of the HEPA fan filter unit with removing the fan and electrical sections. This allows HEPA replacement without opening the plenum and letting dirty air into the cleanroom.
