When it comes to creating a cleanroom environment, one of the fundamental questions that arises is, which ISO 14644-1 standard should be adopted?. These standards, ranging from ISO 1 to ISO 9, dictate the maximum allowable particles per cubic meter, with particle sizes ranging from 0.1 µm to ≥5 µm. However, understanding these classifications requires more than just numbers and ranges; it demands a real-world perspective on particle sizes and contamination sources.

A cleanroom split system DX HVAC (Direct Expansion Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) is a type of cooling system commonly used in smaller cleanroom environments where central chilled-water systems may not be feasible. The system utilizes refrigerant to provide cooling and humidity control within the cleanroom and is designed to provide precise environmental control for cleanrooms, ensuring temperature, humidity, and air quality are maintained within specific parameters.

A cleanroom chilled-water HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is a type of cooling system commonly used in cleanroom environments to maintain desired temperature, humidity, and air quality conditions while providing precise and reliable control. The system operates using a network of chilled-water pipes and air handling units (AHUs) to deliver conditioned air to the cleanroom space. The system uses the mechanism of chilled water for cooling and heating purposes.
