Clean-room

Where the demands on the indoor climate are higher than usual

There are different procedures to measure the quality and cleanliness of the air. ISO 14644 is a standard used to measure air cleanliness. According to this standard, particles and their size are measured per cubic metre of air.

In a cleanroom the air is kept particle-free by using an air filter in the ventilation system, usually a HEPA filter. A HEPA filter ensures that the air supplied to the room is clean and free of contamination and at the same time creates the prerequisites to be able to control and satisfy the set cleanliness requirements.

HEPA filters are available in 5 different filtration classes where the designation refers to the filtration capacity, i.e. how many particles that the filter can capture per litre of air. HEPA 14 lets through max 5 particles per litre air, which corresponds to 99.99% of all particles. This makes the filter suitable for ventilation systems in cleanrooms.

Applications

Swegon has solutions for an optimal and clean indoor climate

Operating theatre

Extremely clean air conditions are critical so that patients are not exposed to harmful particles or bacteria, at the same time the indoor climate must be pleasant and quiet so that staff are able to perform their work. The supply air diffuser OPL is especially designed for the air flow required in an operating theatre.

Laboratory

Laboratories are important facilities that can be found at research institutes, universities and in hospitals. Here it is important that all work is performed under controllable conditions including air. Here the ceiling diffuser CONDOR is very well suited with its capacity and adjustable distribution pattern.

Industry/R&D

A controlled manufacturing process is essential in many industries. This can result in demands on minimum levels of airborne particles. Electrical components are for example sensitive to dust particles, airborne microbes and chemical vapours. Therefore an absolute clean environment is required, which CLH provides.

Clean zones

Rooms where extra high demands are made on the air and low levels of contamination such as dust and chemical vapours, to reduce the staff’s exposure to contamination or protect the manufacturing process. CDH with its microfilter makes sure that the air does not contain contamination or bacteria that can attach to implements.
