Cleanroom different cleanliness of the number of air changes standard

The cleanliness of cleanrooms is crucial in industrial production and experimental environments. Controlling and improving the level of cleanliness plays an important role in guaranteeing the quality of products and the accuracy of experimental results. In cleanrooms, a key factor is the number of air changes. This paper will explore the relationship between cleanliness and the number of air changes, and provide some suggestions to help optimize the cleanroom process.
 
1. Definition and importance of cleanliness
Cleanliness refers to the concentration of particles and microorganisms in the air. Higher cleanliness requirements can be achieved by reducing the number of airborne contaminants as well as improving air filtration. In many industries, such as semiconductors, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing, cleanliness is a key factor in ensuring product quality and safety.


2. The relationship between the number of air changes and cleanliness
The number of air changes refers to the number of air updates per unit of time in the purification room. The number of air changes has a close relationship with cleanliness. Generally speaking, increasing the number of air changes can effectively reduce the concentration of pollutants in the air, thereby improving the level of cleanliness. However, too many air changes may lead to problems such as wasted energy and difficulty in controlling temperature and humidity. Therefore, when determining the number of air changes, it is necessary to consider the cleanliness requirements and economic benefits.
 

3. Standard number of air changes for different cleanliness levels
The standard number of air changes in the cleanroom is determined according to the purification requirements and industry norms. Different industries and application scenarios have different cleanliness requirements for cleanrooms, so the standard number of air changes may also vary.


The following standards for the number of air changes are usually referred to according to the cleanliness level of the cleanroom :
 
1. ISO 7 cleanroom (Class 10,000 cleanroom): The standard number of air changes is 10-20 times/hour.
 
2. ISO 6 cleanroom (class 1000 cleanroom): the standard number of air changes is 20-30 times/hour. 3.
 
3. ISO 5 clean room (class 100 clean room): the standard number of air changes is 30-60 times/hour. 4.
 
4. ISO 4 clean room (class 10 clean room): the standard number of air changes is 40-80 times/hour.
 
It should be noted that these standard air changes are for reference only and specific air change requirements may be adjusted depending on the specific requirements of the cleanroom application and industry standards. In addition, the number of air changes should be evaluated in the context of the actual conditions of the cleanroom, such as the size of the cleanroom, the density of occupants, the thermal load of the equipment, and other factors.
