There are different levels of clean room. The level that is required depends on the activities occurring in the space. From laboratories to surgical rooms, one of the often forgotten things to consider is the clean room HVAC system. In order to prevent contamination, here are 4 things that should be taken into consideration. Temperature The room's temperature is dependent on the insulation of the room. With the correct insulation, the room can be properly cooled or heated in an energy efficient manner. One of the issues that clean rooms deal with when it comes to temperatures is the amount of energy used to cool the room. Depending on the equipment in the room, it's possible that there is too much heat built up from that equipment. Therefore, equipment should be taken into consideration when determining the required temperature for the room. Humidity Control Moisture is a problem that needs to be handled in any clean room. Wherever there is too much moisture, it's possible that mold and mildew could become a problem. Mold contaminates the space and degrades the air quality. To limit moisture and prevent any problems, clean rooms should have a tight environment with properly cared-for ventilation systems. Air Flow and Pressure Air flow and pressure are important to monitor in clean rooms. It's important to achieve an efficient system in order to prevent too much air recirculation. In order to do this, the positive pressurization needs to be reduced throughout the room. Filtration The filtration system helps remove contaminants from the air. It's important to replace the air filter on a regular basis and keep the ventilation system clean and clear, so contaminants don't enter the space. Professionals understand what needs to be done to ensure that the clean room HVAC system is working properly and limiting the amount of contaminants that get into the space.
