HVAC System is meeting
predeterminedspecifications
performing,
•
Air velocity (ACPH)
measurement
•
Monitoring of Differential
pressure of the area
•
Monitoring of Temperature

HEPA Filter Integrity TestWith
Using AerosolAn
unacceptable leak is a local
readinggreater than 0.01%
9.3 PROCEDURE: (FOR GE
NERATION OF AEROSOL):
STEP ACTIONStart
1Check the Aerosol oil level
in Aerosol
generator.2Connect
Compressed air / Nitrogen
gas to aerosol generator &
adjustthe pressure regulator
to 20PSI.3Direct the outlet of
the aerosol generator to
return duct [riser] or freshair
intake of AHU.4Start the
aerosol generator by
switching on the Compressed
air /Nitrogen gas to produce
the upstream concentration
required for leakdetection till
photometer reads the
Photometric concentration of
100%.

9.4 CALIBRATION OF THE
INSTRUMENT
[PHOTOMETER]STEP
ACTIONStart
1Put the photometer selector
switch on upstream
mode.2Connect the tube of
photometer to upstream port
of HEPA filter.3Wait until the
photometer displays 100%
upstream
concentration.4Remove the
tube of photometer and close
the upstream port of
HEPA filterand ensure fir zero
leakage.5Put the photometer
selector switch on down
stream mode.6Wait until
photometer display 0
[ZERO].On any installation
the sealing gasket should be
considered as part of thefilter
and this should be scanned
separately from the filter
pack.
•
Select the sample
port; scan the filter
pack and the gasket
at a distanceof 50 to 100 mm.
•
For a filter to efficiency
0.001% the range selected
should be 0.01%and the
alarm set for 0.001%, which
is 10% of the full scale,
whichassumes an efficiency
of 99.99% against the
challenge aerosol.

11.4 ESTABLISHMENT OF
SINGLE SAMPLE VOLUME
PER LOCATION:STEP
ACTIONStart
1Sample a sufficient volume
of air at each location such
that minimum of20 particles
would be detected if the
particle concentration for
therelevant class were at the
class limit for the largest
considered particlesize.2The
single sample volume V
s
per location will be
determined byV
s
=20x1000 / C
nm
WhereV
s
= is the minimum sample
volume per location
expressed in liters.C
nm
=class limit (number of
particles/ m
3
) for the largest
consideredparticles size
specified for the relevant
class.20 = is the defined
number of particles that could
be counted if
particleconcentration were at
the class limit.The volume
sampled at each location
shall be at least 2 liters with
aminimum time at each
location of 1 minute.
Since particle counter operate
at a flow rate of 1CFM, which
is equal to28.3 lits per minute,
therefore particle analyzed
per cubic feet will needto be
multiply with 35.31 to convert
to m

particulate counts atrest
[before disturbing the area for
Recovery
test].2 Shut OFF the AHU of r
equired zone.3Allow the
required zone to reach next
higher grade (i.e. Grade B
ToGrade C).4Measure the
non-viable particulate counts
when area achieve the
nexthigher grade with help of
particle counter for one
day.5 Continue the particle co
unting for at least 5 counts.6S
tart the AHU and measure the
particle counts till it the area
achievesthe desired level of
