Smoke Testing for Cleanrooms By Ziebaq

Airflow visualisation, also called airflow visualization, is a meaningful way to check the direction and effectiveness of airflow in cleanrooms. Showing how air moves through a place helps keep controlled environments as clean as possible. Visualising smoke is beneficial for checking the design of cleanrooms and the efficiency of HVAC systems, especially when looking at how HEPA-filtered air moves through them. This method is essential for ensuring air pollution control works, and regulatory bodies like the MHRA may need it.

Why Cleanroom Airflow Matters

It's essential to control airflow well to keep cleanrooms from getting dirty. Cleanrooms work well and minimise contamination when the wind is just right. If you mess up the airflow patterns in a clean room, it can cause too much pollution in some areas, which can't work correctly.

Expert Smoke Testing from Ziebaq

Ziebaq is the best at designing and installing critical ventilation systems, and they also offer complete testing and upkeep services. Our skilled engineers are experts in smoke testing, which includes looking at airflow patterns to find problems that could affect the performance of cleanrooms and fix them. Pure water and Glycerine BP grade make up a pharmaceutical-grade smoke chemical we use to get accurate results.

ZIEBAQ's Smoke Testing Goals

Find Contamination Hotspots: Look for places where contamination builds up quickly.

Check the Design and Performance: Ensure the controlled environment's design and specs meet the needed standards.

Check the Operator's Effects: Look into how operators' actions affect airflow that only goes one way in cleanroom enclosures.

Sources of Pollution and Problems with Airflow

People and machines are the primary sources of contamination in cleanrooms. Equipment design, machine guarding, and wrong component specs can all mess up the flow of air. Smoke testing makes it easier to see where contaminants might be going by showing airflow direction and possible contamination tracks.

Advantages of Modular Cleanrooms

There are many benefits to modular cleanrooms, such as:

Quick Assembly Time: Construction goes quickly, and there is little downtime.

Versatility: It means being able to fit different wants and situations.

Conversion: It's easy to change the setup to meet new needs.

Controlling airflow: Keeps air control working well.

Modifications That Don't Cost Much: Updates and changes that don't cost much.

Qualities of Good Airflow in Cleanrooms

For airflow to be ideal in a laboratory, it should:

Smooth Directional Flow: A smooth directional flow means that the air stream should be free of eddies or turbulence.

Rapid Recovery: If the flow of air is disrupted, it should quickly return to moving in only one direction.

Contamination Avoidance: Air should move away from product tracks and towards sources of contamination.

Ziebaq's Complete Cleanroom Design and Validation

Ziebaq provides a wide range of cleanroom services, such as

Budgeting and Planning: Planning for long-term finances and designs.

Engineering and Layout: Engineering and layout creation with lots of details.

Airflow and Filtration Design: Designing the best method for airflow and filtration.

Construction and Installation: Professionals build and set up cleanrooms.

Complete Certification: This full certification meets all the business standards.

Ziebaq Smoke Testing services

Our smoke studies are crucial for keeping things clean, especially when making safe products. We do smoke tests in both moving and still situations to show that the airflow and sweeping action work well over the object. This testing gives regulators and inspectors objective proof.
