10、RDBS 8568:2013ii The British Standards Institution 2013IntroductionCleanroom cleanliness can be classified by the concentration of specificcontaminants in the air or on surfaces in the cleanroom. Cleanrooms use aconsiderable amount of energy to provide large amounts of filtered andconditioned air to
11、 achieve the specified levels of cleanliness. A considerableamount of energy is also used to achieve:a) the necessary temperature and relative humidity for the process in thecleanroom and for personnel comfort;b) the necessary pressurization of the space; andc) in some cases, the necessary airflow v
12、olume flow rate for unidirectionalairflow and to a reduced extent non-unidirectional airflow.Some firms using cleanrooms report that heating and ventilating systemsconsume up to 80% of the total energy used in their manufacturing facilitysimply to deliver clean, conditioned air to critical operation
13、s. This energy isconsumed by heating, cooling, humidification and fan power. Of this, fansrequired to move air can account for 35% to 50%, much of this being due tothe extra energy required to overcome the high pressure differential requiredfor the high efficiency filters and other ventilation compo
14、nents used incleanrooms. There is therefore a significant potential for energy saving bydiligent design in the installation of new cleanrooms, and by retrofitimprovements and upgrades to existing facilities.This British Standard lists and explains measures that can be taken to reduceenergy consumpti
15、on in cleanrooms and applies to the whole range of“cleanroom technology”, from cleanrooms to clean air devices, includingisolators, glove boxes and mini-environments as described in BS EN 14644-7.Cleanroom technology is used by organizations within the life-sciences,micro-electronics, aerospace and
16、nuclear fields. The life-sciences sector includeshospital, pharmaceutical and medical device activities.This British Standard does not address related production processes such aswater treatment, oven, autoclave and stress cycling operations that can alsocreate significant energy demands.1 ScopeThis
17、 British Standard gives recommendations on reducing energy consumptionand maintaining energy efficiency in new and existing cleanrooms and clean airdevices, classified by BS EN ISO 14644-1.The standard is not applicable to the energy efficiency of process equipment,except where it affects the cleanr
18、oom environment.NOTE 1 Further guidance on the use of energy management systems is given inBS EN ISO 50001.NOTE 2 Energy saving opportunities are listed in Annex A and detailed in Annex B.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application ofthis document.
