OK, so “easy” may not be a word that comes to mind for designing such
sensitive environments. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t produce a
solid cleanroom design by tackling issues in a logical sequence. This
article covers each key step, down to handy application-specific tips
for adjusting load calculations, planning exfiltration paths, and
angling for adequate mechanical room space relative to the cleanroom’s
class.
In addition to serving as a handy reference on the various
dehumidification technologies and their profiles, this article uses a
manufacturing scenario to explore load-related questions and other design
pitfalls. Will human occupancy make much of a difference? What valves does your
humidifier have? And exactly what’s in that room, anyway?
