CLEAN AIR IN SENSITIVE AREAS
Our solutions are used wherever the highest demands are placed on air hygiene and room air conditions:
In other words, wherever people, products or the environment need to be protected against contamination.
The variety of clean room types is as great as the variety of industries and yet the various rooms are the same or similar in many respects.
In terms of ventilation, they differ in the following points depending on the process:
One thing you can always rely on: no matter what type of clean room you need– TROX offers you the appropriate solution for your application.

The selection of the airflow concept for a clean room depends on the following:
Discharge pattern, Mode of action and The effectiveness of a clean room concept depends on the construction of the air inlets and outlets, as well as their combination and spatial arrangement.
In the occupied zone the ideal air distribution can be achieved with high induction levels that lead to a rapid reduction of airflow velocities and of the temperature differences between room air and supply air.
If the goal is a laminar flow, the airflow velocity and a constant airflow must be maintained.
Low-turbulence laminar flow (LF) is characterised by an evenvelocity profile and almost parallel flow lines across the entire cross selection of the clean area. With LF, maximum air cleanliness classes can be achieved – even in large clean air areas.
Low-turbulence laminar flow is used where products and processes are particularly sensitive and need to be protected from contamination. Here, the recirculation and/or exhaust air is extracted close to the ground.
A special feature of microelectronics is that the recirculation and/or exhaust air is extracted via a raised floor so as not to influencethe laminar flow near the ground.
Turbulent flow means that the primary air mixes with the induced room air. Clean air is not supplied across the entire room but only at selected points, typically through ceiling swirl diffusers. The high induction causes good mixing of the room air and flooding of the clean air area.
The turbulence flow combines final HEPA filters with a swirl diffuser. The recirculation and/or exhaust air is usually extracted close to the ground.
Directional flow is particularly suitable for separating clean areas from impure or less clean areas. The Here, the discharge pattern runs across the room from one side to the other.. This can be across the wall surface across the room or from one side up to the other side down.
Directional flow is used where a transfer of particles from one area to another area is to be prevented. Ideal for airlocks between two cleanliness zones.
We offer concepts for every clean room, individually adapted to your processes.
Our tailor-made solutions meet all norms and standards up to the highest hygienic requirements:
In the process, TROX final Particulate filter air terminal devices provide the necessary air cleanliness.
Your clean room becomes clean not only through the air exchange and the filtration stage.
To make your clean room safe for operation, Air management systems are also very important in addition to air change and filtration. They ensure an even air balance and regulate the various air volume flows in the room, such as supply air, fresh air, recirculated air and extract air.
Depending on the room type and classification, there may be an additional control variable – room pressure – in addition to room balance control. As clean rooms are becoming increasingly airtight, it is particularly important to use a system that meets these high requirements.
TROX room air management systems are optimised for high system requirementssuch as those in cleann rooms.
Regardless of whether you need a centralised or decentralised system, TROX offers you a tailor-made solution:
Decentralised ventilation system
Targeted positive pressure in clean room production avoids contamination and prevents undesired airflows or undesired particles from entering a room.
TROX provides systems which ensure that the correct positive pressure is maintained.
Complex room balancing and room monitoring functions are likewise possible.
Pressure cascade with uniform reference pressure When controlling the pressure of adjacent rooms, it is important to measure the air pressures of the individual rooms against the same reference pressure.
If you consider that the structural width of an electronic conductor on a microchip is around 30–250 nanometres – for comparison, a human hair is around 300 times as thick – you get an idea of just how strict the requirements on clean room technology and associated filter systems are.
As high-efficiency particulate filters for the separation of the smallest particles in clean room systems, HEPA and ULPA filters are used. They ensure a particularly high level of air cleanliness and can separate even submicrometre germs and particles.
Filters are supposed to separate particles in the air – and they are an obstacle to the airflow. As the differential pressure increases, the energy efficiency decreases. The goal is minimising the loss.
TROX has therefore developed air filters that reduce the inevitable increase in the pressure difference and thus reduce the system resistance.
TROX offers filter media with extremely fine pleats and aerodynamically optimised filter units that help to save up to 50 % energy in comparison with conventional filters. reimbursed.
TROX produces a low-outgassing clean room filter With certified safety for the highest quality production reliability in clean rooms e.g. in the semiconductor industry.
All our clean room filters are classified according to the particle counting method pursuant to EN 1822. However, for certain specific applications, e.g., in the semiconductor industry, it is not enough to know the number of particles, but also the composition of the particles.
The Fraunhofer Institute has certified the outgassing behaviour of the TROX filter of the MFPCR type according to ISO 14644-5.

as high-efficiency particulate filters for the separation of suspended particles in clean room systems, HEPA and ULPA filters are used.
On the new filter scan test rig, filters of filter classes H13, H14, U15, U16 and U17 are tested under clean room conditions.
In the event of a fire, personal safety, support of the fire and rescue service, and protection of property are the prime objectives, and they have to be met by an advanced central BMS and an effective safety management concept:
Through the comprehensive integration of all components, we combine these systems into total solutions for your specific requirements.
Due to increasing digitisation, even in our industry, you can combine the various products of a fire- and smoke protection system into one intelligent systems.

Ventilation and air conditioning in clean rooms means, first and foremost, controlling undesired airborne particles.
Controlling the diverse, interdependent factors which influence air cleanliness and safety has led to the development of extremely reliable and energy-efficient clean room systems that address the following aspects:
Contamination control with a multi-layer system: In order to protect clean rooms and devices from contaminants that may be present in adjacent areas with lower levels of air cleanliness, the static pressure in clean rooms should always be higher than the pressure in those adjacent areas.
Important standards for pharmaceutical applications are, for example:
note operating states (shown: idle operation)
Modern air handling units and systems are controlled in a demand-based manner in the present day. For example, thermal outputs and airflows are adjusted depending on the actual demand.
The energy requirement of an air handling system depends on this control. The climatic conditions occurring at the respective location have an additional influence.
Handling In order to take these effects into consideration at the design stage, TROX offers the possibility for X-CUBE air handling units to determine the life cycle costs (LCC) in an hourly step simulation for a specific air handling unit at a selectable location in the world and for an adjustable operating scenario.
The energy requirements are determined for every hour of the year with the help of weather data records. Based on these LCC calculations, the most efficient device solution can be determined for each application.
