Air Flow Velocity Standards in Dust-free Workshops
2024.09.20
In modern industrial production, especially in fields with extremely high environmental requirements such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and precision instrument manufacturing, dust-free workshops play a crucial role. Among them, the air flow velocity standard is one of the key factors to ensure the normal operation of dust-free workshops and product quality.

I. Importance of Air Flow Velocity
Air flow velocity has multiple important significances in dust-free workshops. First of all, an appropriate air flow velocity can effectively take away particles and pollutants in the air and maintain the cleanliness of the workshop. If the air flow velocity is too low, pollutants may accumulate in the workshop, increasing the risk of product contamination; while if the air flow velocity is too high, it may cause unnecessary energy waste and noise problems, and at the same time may have an adverse impact on the stability of some precision equipment and products.
Secondly, a reasonable air flow velocity helps to control the temperature and humidity in the workshop. Through the flow of air, uniform distribution of heat and humidity can be achieved, creating suitable environmental conditions for the production process.
II. Factors Determining Air Flow Velocity Standards
  1. Industry requirements
Different industries have different requirements for air flow velocity standards in dust-free workshops. For example, the electronic chip manufacturing industry usually requires a very low air flow velocity to avoid affecting tiny chip components; while the pharmaceutical industry may require a relatively high air flow velocity to ensure a sterile environment during drug production.
  1. Workshop layout and equipment placement
The layout of the workshop and the placement of equipment will affect the flow path and speed of air. When designing air flow velocity standards, factors such as the size and shape of the workshop, the location of ventilation openings, and the height and density of equipment need to be considered to ensure that air can flow evenly through each work area.
  1. Product characteristics
Some products are very sensitive to air flow velocity, such as some precision optical elements or chemical reagents. In this case, the appropriate air flow velocity needs to be determined according to the characteristics of the product to prevent the product from being damaged or contaminated.
III. Common Air Flow Velocity Standard Ranges
Generally speaking, the air flow velocity range in dust-free workshops is between 0.2 meters/second and 0.5 meters/second. However, the specific air flow velocity standard will vary depending on the industry, workshop type, and product requirements.
In some high-requirement dust-free workshops, such as semiconductor manufacturing workshops, the air flow velocity may be controlled at a very low level, usually below 0.1 meters/second. In some ordinary electronic assembly workshops or pharmaceutical workshops, the air flow velocity may be around 0.3 meters/second to 0.4 meters/second.
IV. Monitoring and Adjustment of Air Flow Velocity
In order to ensure that the air flow velocity in the dust-free workshop meets the standard requirements, regular monitoring and adjustment are needed. Professional air flow velocity measuring instruments, such as anemometers, can be used to measure the air flow velocity at different locations in the workshop.
If it is found that the air flow velocity is too high or too low, adjustments can be made by adjusting the air volume of the ventilation system, changing the size and location of ventilation openings, and so on. At the same time, regular maintenance and upkeep of the ventilation system are also required to ensure its normal operation and stable performance.
In conclusion, the air flow velocity standard in dust-free workshops is a complex and important issue that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as industry requirements, workshop layout, and product characteristics. Only through scientific and reasonable design and strict monitoring and adjustment can the air flow velocity in dust-free workshops always be maintained within an appropriate range, providing good environmental conditions for the production process and ensuring product quality and production safety.
