Key Characteristics&Core Functions

1. 1. Exceptional Air Filtration Capability

      • Multi-Stage Filtration System: Typically employs three or even four filtration stages.

        • Pre-Filtration: G4/F5 grade, protecting subsequent heat exchangers and medium-efficiency filters.

        • Medium-Efficiency Filtration: F7/F8 grade, further reducing particulate load and extending the service life of High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters.

        • High-Efficiency/Ultra-Low Penetration Air Filtration: HEPA or ULPA filters, installed at the AHU's discharge or within the cleanroom ceiling, are crucial for achieving the required cleanliness level. They offer filtration efficiency of 99.99% or higher for particles as small as 0.3 μm or 0.12 μm.

      • Filter Monitoring: Equipped with differential pressure sensors to monitor filter resistance and signal replacement time.

   2. Stringent Airflow & Pressure Differential Control

      • High Air Volume, High Air Change Rates: Cleanrooms require far higher air change rates (from dozens to hundreds per hour) than ordinary spaces to rapidly dilute and remove internally generated contaminants. Consequently, AHUs must handle massive airflow volumes with powerful fan motors.

      • Constant Air Volume (CAV) or Variable Air Volume (VAV) Control: To maintain stable pressure differentials, sophisticated airflow control strategies are used. This often involves Constant Air Volume valves, Variable Air Volume valves, and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) fans to ensure dynamic balance between supply, return, and exhaust air.

      • Maintaining Pressure Cascades: By precisely controlling the supply air volume to exceed the return air volume, a positive or negative pressure gradient (e.g., +15 Pa, +10 Pa, +5 Pa) is established between different cleanroom zones (e.g., core area, corridor, gowning room). This prevents contaminated air from flowing back from lower-classification areas into higher-classification ones.

   3. Precise Temperature & Humidity Control

      • High-Precision Requirements: Tolerances for temperature and humidity fluctuations are typically very narrow (e.g., temperature ±0.5°C, humidity ±5% RH) to meet the process needs of industries like semiconductor manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

      • Deep Dehumidification & Humidification:

        • Dehumidification: Often achieved using deep cooling coils (with low-temperature chilled water) or desiccant dehumidifiers to handle both sensible and latent heat loads.

        • Humidification: Clean steam injection or electrode/ electric resistance humidifiers are used to ensure no bacterial growth and provide precise control.

      • Reheat Function: Air is often overcooled during deep dehumidification and must be precisely adjusted to the setpoint via hot water reheat coils or electric reheaters. This is a primary reason for the high energy consumption of cleanroom AHUs.

   4. Superior Airtightness & Construction Materials

      • Leak-Prevention Design: The unit casing has excellent airtightness to prevent unfiltered air infiltration. Seams are sealed with gaskets and/or sealant.

      • Smooth, Corrosion-Resistant Interiors: Interior surfaces are typically made of stainless steel or coated galvanized steel—smooth, without crevices, non-particulating, easy to clean, and resistant to disinfectants.

      • Non-Stagnant Water Design: Condensate pans have significant slope for proper drainage, preventing microbial growth.

   5. Energy Efficiency & Heat Recovery

      • Given their enormous energy consumption, modern cleanroom AHUs often integrate high-efficiency energy recovery devices (e.g., enthalpy wheels, plate heat exchangers) to precondition outside air, reducing cooling and heating loads—a key strategy for lowering operational costs.

Products Description

• Mixing Section

  • Details: Fresh air (OA) and return air (RA) dampers are typically interlinked and controlled to maintain a constant total airflow (in constant volume systems). The damper actuators can be electric, pneumatic, or electronic, receiving signals from the Building Management System (BMS).

  • Key Parameter: Minimum outside air ratio (typically 15-30%, modulated based on demand control ventilation or codes).

• Filtration Section

  • Filter Grades (EN/ISO Standards):

    • G3/G4 (Pre-filters): ~80-90% efficiency on ≥5µm particles. Protects equipment.

    • F5-F9 (Medium-efficiency): 40-95% on ≥1µm particles. Standard for commercial IAQ.

    • H10-H14 (HEPA/Sub-HEPA): >95% on ≥0.3µm particles. For cleanrooms, ORs, labs.

  • Differential Pressure Gauge/Switch: Monitors pressure drop across the filter bank. Alerts when the filter is loaded and needs replacement—critical for preventive maintenance.

• Coil Section

  • Construction & Materials:

    • Tube & Fin: Copper tubes with mechanically expanded aluminum fins. Often coated with a hydrophilic (water-loving) film to improve condensate drainage and inhibit microbial growth.

    • Rows/Circuits: Cooling coils are typically 4-8 rows deep. More rows increase dehumidification capacity. Internal circuits (for water or refrigerant) ensure even distribution and heat transfer.

    • Drip Pan: Located below the cooling coil. Must be sloped, insulated, and equipped with a proper P-trap to ensure condensate drainage and prevent air leakage and microbial contamination.

• Humidification Section

  • Type Details:

    • Steam Humidification (Isothermal): Most common. Uses clean, dry steam from a central boiler or self-contained generator, injected via a steam dispersion manifold. Precise and hygienic.

    • Adiabatic Humidification: Uses high-pressure water nozzles or ultrasonic atomizers. Cools the air as water evaporates (adiabatic process).

• Fan Section

  • Fan Types:

    • Forward-Curved Centrifugal Fans: Lower pressure, higher volume. Common in smaller units.

    • Backward-Inclined/Airfoil Centrifugal Fans: Higher efficiency, non-overloading power curve, quieter operation. Preferred for large, efficient AHUs.

  • Drive Arrangement: Belt-driven (adjustable, requires maintenance) or direct-driven (higher efficiency, lower maintenance).

  • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): Standard on modern AHUs. Modulates fan speed based on duct static pressure or temperature reset strategies for significant energy savings in part-load conditions.
