Introduction
Room Pressurization Technique
___________________________________
Purposes
Direct desired flow patterns
Isolate airborne cross contamination
___________________________________
Definition
A technique that air pressure differences are created
mechanically between rooms to introduce intentional air
movement paths through room leakage openings. These
openings could be either designated, such as doorways, or
undesignated, such as air gaps around doorframes or other
duct/piping penetration cracks.
___________________________________
___________________________________
How to achieve
It can be achieved by arranging the controlled volumes of
supply, return, and exhaust airstreams to each room within the
space.
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Introduction
___________________________________
Basic Rules
Air connection between two adjacent
rooms is through connecting opening(s).
If a door between two rooms is open, the
doorway will be the main designated flow
path.
If the door is closed, then the leakage will
be through undesignated paths, such as
air gaps along doorframes, joints, pipe
and duct penetrations and gaps around
ceiling panels etc. Most of these
controllable cracks (except for operable
doors) in typical controlled spaces are
required to be permanently sealed.

Direct Pressure-Differential Control (DP)
Utilizes a pressure differential sensor to measure the pressure difference
between a controlled room and an adjacent space such as a corridor. It basically
ignores the specific offset value as required, instead, it directly controls the
airflow control devices to achieve the required pressure differential.

Hybrid Control (DP+DF)
Combines the pressure accuracy of the direct pressure differential control
and the stability of the flow tracking control. The offset value is reset-able
based on pressure differential reading. The offset value reset schedule is
pre-determined and controllers parameters are fixed manually in field.
This method is also called cascaded control.

CRF is a criterion which is to quantity the effectiveness of cleanroom particle
containment in preventing the airborne particles migration into cleanroom.
