    Most cleanrooms are built with a vertical unidirectional air flow design where particles are quickly swept down and out of the room. Horizontal air flow cleanrooms are less common because any contamination is swept down the room and could impact downstream work processes. However, horizontal cleanrooms have lower capital and operating costs since the wall area is typically smaller than the ceiling area. They can still be effective if critical operations are placed near the air supply and less critical work is near the exhaust.

    Vertical unidirectional flow cleanroom


    Most unidirectional cleanrooms are built in a vertical manner as particles generated within the room will be quickly swept down and out of the room. Less popular is the horizontal flow type of cleanroom, a typical example being shown in Figure 1.8.

    Figure 1.8 A horizontal flow cleanroom This type of cleanroom is not so popular because any contamination generated close to the filters will be swept down the room and could contaminate work processes downwind. However as the area of a wall in a room is usually much smaller than the ceiling the capital and running costs are less. If the cleanroom can be arranged so that the most critical operations are close to the supply filters and the dirtier ones at the exhaust end, then this type of room can be successful. Mixed Flow Rooms
    This type of room is a conventional flow room in which the critical manufacturing operations are carried out within a higher quality of air provided by a unidirectional flow system, e.g. a
