AC220V/AC380V Modular Air Shower for Clean Room Design

Product Overview

Air Shower

An air shower is an essential contamination control device installed at cleanroom entrances. Functioning as a high-velocity air-jet barrier, it removes loose particulate matter from personnel and materials using HEPA/ULPA-filtered air, thereby preventing pollutant ingress into controlled environments.

How the Air Shower Works

As part of the personnel purification route, an air shower is normally installed between the gowning area and the controlled cleanroom area.

• 1. Personnel Entry
  The air shower is accessed from the gowning or lower-cleanliness side.
• 2. Door Interlocking
  To help ensure both doors are not opened simultaneously during normal operation, the entrance and exit doors are governed by an interlocking system.
• 3. Air Shower Cycle
  Directional nozzles introduce filtered air that removes loose particles from exposed surfaces of cleanroom garments.
• 4. Air Recirculation and Filtration
  Air is recovered and passed through the filtration system by the air circulation system according to the equipment configuration.
• 5. Cleanroom Entry
  Following completion of the programmed shower cycle, the exit door can be released and personnel proceed into the controlled area.

The actual shower cycle, airflow configuration, filtration arrangement and control logic should be specified according to the cleanroom design and project requirements.

Key Advantages of Air Showers

**1. Operational & Performance Benefits

• • Highly Effective Decontamination: Utilizes high-velocity, HEPA/ULPA-filtered air jets to physically dislodge and remove a high percentage of loose particulate matter (dust, fibers, skin cells) from personnel and material surfaces.

  • Active Personnel Cleaning: Addresses the human factor, which is the largest potential source of contamination in a cleanroom, by providing a mandatory and standardized cleaning step.

  • Maintains Cleanroom Integrity: Acts as a dynamic airlock, creating a positive-pressure barrier that prevents unfiltered air from the less clean area from entering the critical zone during entry/exit.

  • Enforces Procedural Compliance: Integrated interlocking door systems ensure the decontamination cycle is completed before granting access, eliminating procedural shortcuts.

**2. Quality & Compliance Benefits

• • Protects Product/Process Yield: Directly safeguards sensitive processes (in semiconductor, pharma, biotech) from contamination-related defects, failures, or spoilage.

  • Supports Standards Certification: Essential for achieving and maintaining the required ISO Class cleanroom classification (e.g., ISO 14644-1) by controlling particle counts.

  • Provides a Controlled, Repeatable Process: Offers a consistent and validatable decontamination method, which is crucial for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and other regulatory audits.

  • Enhances Traceability (Advanced Models): Units with logging capabilities can record usage data, supporting quality documentation and incident investigations.

**3. Economic & Practical Benefits

• • Reduces Operating Costs: By preventing contamination at the doorway, it lowers the burden on the main cleanroom's HVAC system, potentially extending filter life and reducing energy consumption.

  • Minimizes Downtime & Rework: Proactive contamination prevention avoids costly production halts, batch rejections, and equipment cleaning.

  • Durable and Low Maintenance: Modern designs with robust components (like slide-rail doors) ensure high reliability and long service life with minimal upkeep.

  • Improves Personnel Awareness: The deliberate process reinforces a culture of cleanliness and discipline among cleanroom staff.

Cleanroom Applications

Air shower rooms are typically built into the personnel purification route between gowning areas and controlled cleanroom spaces.

Applications often include:

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing environments
• Medical and healthcare environments
• Laboratory test environments
• Electronics and microelectronics manufacturing
• Food processing and beverage manufacturing
• Cosmetic and toiletry production
• Precision parts production

The air shower configuration should be chosen in line with the cleanroom layout, personnel flow, cleanliness requirements and operating procedures rather than treated as an isolated equipment component.

Engineering & Customization Process

• 1. Requirement Analysis
  Inspect the cleanroom classification, personnel flow, available installation space and operating requirements.
• 2. Configuration Design
  Settle the air shower type, dimensions, door arrangement, filtration and control configuration according to the project.
• 3. Manufacturing
  Fabricate and assemble the chamber, filter system, fan section, doors and control components according to the approved configuration.
• 4. Factory Inspection
  Inspect the assembled unit, electrical system, door and interlock operation and other applicable items before shipment.
• 5. Installation & Commissioning
  Facilitate site installation, connection and functional commissioning according to project requirements.
• 6. Documentation
  Provide applicable product drawings, instructions for operation, maintenance information and testing records.

Testing & Validation

• Visual confirmation
• Measurement of dimensions
• Door motion test
• Verification of door interlock
• Fan rotation test
• Lighting operation check
• Control panel operation check
• Air flow check
• HEPA filter integrity verification where applicable
