The effectiveness of a cleanroom relies on multiple components working in harmony:
HEPA and ULPA Filters: These filters are crucial for removing particles from the air. HEPA filters can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, while ULPA filters can capture even smaller particles. Airflow Systems: Cleanrooms use specialized airflow systems known as laminar flow to ensure that air moves uniformly and contaminants are swept away from critical areas. Cleanroom Garments: Personnel must wear specialized garments to prevent contaminants from entering the cleanroom. This includes gowns, gloves, masks, and shoe covers. Environmental Controls: Systems to regulate temperature, humidity, and pressure are essential to maintain the cleanroom conditions.
