Air Shower Doors in cleanroom technology

Introduction

Air shower doors are essential components in cleanroom technology, designed to minimize contamination when transitioning between different environments. They serve as a barrier that helps maintain the integrity of controlled spaces by providing a high-velocity airflow that removes particles from personnel and equipment. Understanding the various types of air shower doors can aid in selecting the right solution for specific CleanRoom applications.

Types of Air Shower Doors

1. Single Door

Single door air showers are compact and ideal for limited spaces. They provide efficient particle removal with a straightforward design, allowing for easy access and quick transitions.

2. Double Door

Double door air showers enhance contamination control by creating an airlock effect. This design prevents the escape of Clean air and ensures that personnel are thoroughly decontaminated before entering sensitive areas. They are commonly used in larger cleanrooms where space allows for more extensive air handling systems.

3. Sliding Door

Sliding doors are designed for high-traffic areas, providing ease of access while maintaining a sealed environment. Their automated operation minimizes manual contact, further reducing contamination risks.

Custom solutions can be tailored to specific industry requirements, incorporating advanced filtration systems and unique layouts to optimize cleanliness and efficiency.

Air Shower Specifications and Functions

Air Shower Specifications

Air showers are equipped with high-velocity fans that generate a powerful airflow, typically ranging from 20 to 30 m/s. They utilize hepa or ULPA filters to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring a clean environment.

Key Features

  • Automatic door operation
  • Infrared sensors for hands-free access
  • Adjustable airflow settings
  • Compatible with various CleanRoom Classifications
  • Regular maintenance and filter replacement required

Air Shower Infrared Sensor Door

Infrared sensor doors enhance user convenience and efficiency. These doors utilize advanced infrared technology to detect personnel approaching, allowing for hands-free operation. This feature is particularly beneficial in sterile environments where minimizing contact is essential. The sensors ensure that the door opens only when someone is present, preventing unnecessary air loss and maintaining the cleanroom's integrity. Additionally, infrared sensor doors can be integrated with alarm systems to alert users of any malfunctions or breaches in protocol.

Air Shower User Guide

Pre-Entry Protocol

Ensure all personal items are free of contaminants before entering.

Usage Instructions

Stand in the air shower for the recommended duration to allow for effective decontamination.

Compliance with Standards

Follow relevant domestic and international standards, such as ISO 14644, to ensure proper air shower operation and maintenance.

How to Install an Air Shower

Site Preparation

Before installation, assess the site to ensure it meets space and environmental requirements for the air shower unit. Clear the area of any debris and ensure access to electrical and air supply connections.

Installation Steps

  1. Securely mount the air shower unit in the designated space, ensuring it is level and stable.
  2. Connect the air supply lines and electrical wiring as per the manufacturer's specifications.
  3. Test the unit for proper airflow and functionality, adjusting settings as necessary to meet operational standards.

Final Adjustments

After initial testing, make any final adjustments to ensure the air shower operates efficiently and effectively meets cleanroom requirements.
