CONTROL
& DESIGN STANDARDS: OUTSIDE AIR |
|
Before we discuss actual design, keep in mind that, as far as the
cleanroom is concerned, normal outside air is incredibly contaminated.
For example, in a typical city, a single cubic foot of air contains
up to five million particles. Capable of remaining airborne for long
periods of time, particles continually settle on just about every exposed
surface.
The majority of airborne contaminants fall into one of three
categories: particles, metallic ions, and gases. Of the three types,
particles,
or particulate contaminants as they’re known, are our greatest concern.
