CONTROL & DESIGN
STANDARDS: AIRFLOW |
|
Although the concentration of allowable particles is usually the defining
cleanroom characteristic, there are also several other criteria to
consider. These include temperature settings (usually 65 to 75 degrees)
and humidity levels.
Humidity levels below 30% provide little moisture
to dissipate static electrical charges, and they accumulate on furniture,
equipment, and
people. Besides damage to sensitive electronic components, contaminants
are also attracted to these charges. Usually, however, merely adjusting
the relative humidity setting of the air handling system will provide
sufficient control.
