Operating Theater Positive Pressure: How It Is Created, Measured and Maintained

Leave a Comment / Modular Operating Theater /

Positive pressure is one of the most frequently specified environmental requirements for an operating theater. It helps establish directional airflow from the operating room toward adjacent spaces when doors are closed, reducing the uncontrolled entry of air from less clean areas. However, positive pressure is not created by the wall panels themselves, nor is it

How to Calculate Air Changes per Hour (ACH) in a Cleanroom

Leave a Comment / Cleanroom Design /

Introduction Air Changes per Hour, commonly abbreviated as ACH, is widely used in cleanroom and controlled-environment design. It expresses the total supply airflow delivered to a room in one hour as a multiple of the room’s internal volume. ACH can help engineers estimate the airflow required for contaminant dilution, particle removal, temperature control, humidity control
