 Cleanroom air conditioning
Viewing an ever-increasing environmental pollution the
quality of air that we breathe is of vital importance. Hygienic
air-handling units are designed for essential features and
sensitive installations of high-demanding cleanroom air
conditioning applications like hospitals, operating rooms,
laboratories, pharmaceutical and electronic facilities, etc.
Standards, regulations and guidelines govern the air
handling unit’s calculation, design, manufacture, installation
and maintenance.

DESIGN CRITERIA
When developing, designing and manufacturing
air-handling units in hygienic Air Conditioning
field, the major objectives are:
- To apply only those materials that do not pose any
threat to human health and do not facilitate the
growth of harmful micro organisms
- Internal surfaces of the units must be made of
wear-resistant materials and easily accessible for
cleaning and disinfection purposes;
- All parts for air movement should allow easy
inspection, cleaning and disinfection.

Features of ClimaVac Air-handling unit:
AIR INLETS AND OUTLETS
- All units are equipped with
airtight volume control dampers
according to DIN 1946 Part 4 for
regulation of air volume and
pressure.
- Inlet sections can be equipped
with weather resistant louvers or
sand trap louvers.

Cooling Section
- Cooling Coil surfaces are smooth
and free from sharp edges.
- Base pans below cooling coils are
inclined and allow a free drainage of
all condensed water, can be easily
cleaned and disinfected and are made
of stainless steel

Heating section
Heat exchanger for hot water, glycol,
steam or refrigerant. Made of Cu/Al or
galvanized steel. Coil connections
internally or straight to outside.
Electric heater with automatic control
elements and safety devices.

 Unit & Coil Hand Identification

Multi-sloped Drain pan

Our drain pan is designed according to
ASHRAE 62-2001, section 5.11.1 states that
drain pans “shall sloped 1/8” per foot from
horizontal toward the drain outlet whether
the fan is in the on or off position.” .
Sound attenuator
Our unit can be provided with sound
attenuator as option in case of reducing
AHU noise, we manufacture it according
to AMCA 300.

Sandwich panel
- Double skin panel, unitary structure
design, less connecting joints, multi
sealing strips in the contact surfaces,
around sealing service door/ panel, all
ensure almost total air can be
supplied to the air-conditioned room.
The air leakage rate is less than
0.29%. Units will not sweat when
exterior room temperature is 27°C,
relative humidity is 90%
- The inner skin for the panel can be
stainless steel / electrostatic sheet
metal painting / galvanized sheet
metal.
- The outer skin for the panel can be
stainless steel / Plastified sheet metal
/ Electrostatic sheet metal thickness.

HEPA filter

Absolute standard box style HEPA filters for

use in built-up bank systems, side access air
filter housings and equipment that excepts
rectangular configurations. All Absolutes is
individually tested and is available in
efficiencies of 99.97% at 0.3µ to 99.9995% at
0.3µ.

Active Carbon filter

A filter based on active carbon is used for
absorption of substances, that cannot be
caught by other types of filters (like odors,
gases and pairs of toxic substances).

Rotary heat exchanger
A rotary heat exchanger is a rotary
honeycomb matrix with layers of aluminum
ribbon, which is slowly rotated within the
supply and exhaust air streams. As the wheel
rotates, heat is picked up from the exhaust
air stream in one half of the rotation and
given up to the fresh air stream in the other
half of the rotation. Thus waste heat energy
from the exhaust air stream is transferred to
the matrix material and then from the matrix
material to the fresh air stream, raising the
temperature of the supply air stream.

The advantages of a rotary regenerator are:

high efficiency, keeping comfortable
humidity and low risk of frosting. Rotary
regenerators in ClimaVac units made of two
types:

- Condensation type (standard);

- Enthalpy type. The additional
hygroscopic coating is applied on
tape, which provides additional
moisture transfer from one stream to
another. This feature is especially
useful when using a rotor in the
summer in conjunction with the air
conditioning system.

-
Plate heat exchanger

Heat exchanger where heat is transferred from

the flow of exhaust air to the incoming air from
the street.

Heat exchanger is made of profiled aluminum

plates, packed with elastic heat-resistant sealant.
The sealing provides a reliable separation of the
supply and exhaust air, eliminating internal
flows, and not allowing moisture, dirt, odors and
microorganisms transfer between streams.

To avoid frosting heat exchanger provides active

protection by means of the bypass channel.

Drain pan is installed under the heat exchanger.
