    This document discusses three different clean room designs: 1) VLF rooms use vertical laminar airflow from ceiling to floor but are difficult to maintain with people entering and exiting. 2) Tunnel designs incorporate HEPA filters in ceilings and returns through raised floors, suitable for small modular sections up to 14 feet wide. They provide localized cleanliness but restrict equipment layout changes. 3) Total clean rooms use ceiling HEPA filters and floor returns in large open bay areas up to 50,000 sq ft, allowing flexibility but being more costly to build and maintain.

    #"Used VLF (vertical laminar airflow) from ceiling to floor.

    #"Problem - difficult to maintain environment with people entering, moving and exiting the

    room

    Note the acronym ‘VLF’ (vertical laminar flow) room is where air is typically introduced

    through the ceiling filters and returned through a raised access floor or at the base of the

    sidewalls.

    b. Tunnel Design

    #"Tunnel design incorporates HEPA filters in ceilings instead of VLF hoods. The return is

    through raised floor or low wall.

    #"The arrangement is suitable for small portions in modular arrangement typically between

    11 and 14 feet wide. Wider tunnels experience too much or turbulent flow.

    #"Only the localized area is provided with desired class level cleanliness rather than the

    whole area.

    #"The advantage of a tunnel is reduced HEPA filter coverage and ease of expanding

    additional tunnel modules into unaffiliated areas.

    #"The disadvantage is they restrict new equipment layouts as processes change, and

    products change.

    c. Total Clean-Room (open bay design) Strategy

    #"Open bay designs typically use HEPA filters in the ceiling and returns in the floor. The

    design is suitable for large areas up to 50000 sq ft construction with interior walls places

    wherever production processes dictate.

    #"These rooms are more costly to build and maintain but do provide flexibility for change as

    new products are introduced and production equipment or processes are improved.
