Cleanrooms

Cleanrooms are confined areas in which various environmental elements, such as contamination, particle matter, microbes, temperature, humidity, etc. are controlled within precise limits. Cleanrooms are generally used for the production and packaging of sensitive components, such as microchips and pharmaceuticals, which require high levels of cleanliness or precise temperature control. However, they are used in a wide range of industries.

The environment within a cleanroom is controlled by the use of air filters and continuous laminar air flow. In a Horizontal Laminar Air Flow cleanroom, HEPA filters in a wall force clean air across the room, from one side to the other. In contrast, in a Vertical Laminar Air Flow cleanroom, HEPA filters on the ceiling push clean air down to the floor. In both instances, the opposite wall or floor serves as an exhaust to remove excess air and to keep the air flowing. The cleanliness of these rooms is also directly proportional to the velocity of air moving through the room.
