Difference between Unidirectional Flow and Mixed Flow in Clean Workshop

In the design and construction of clean workshops, the air distribution form is one of the crucial factors. Among them, unidirectional flow and mixed flow are two common air distribution methods. Today, Guangzhou Kunling Purification Equipment Co., Ltd. will introduce in detail the difference between unidirectional flow and mixed flow in clean workshops.

I. Characteristics of Unidirectional Flow

1. Single air flow direction

The air flow in the unidirectional flow clean workshop flows in a single direction. Usually, it flows in a straight line from the air supply outlet to the air return outlet. This air distribution method can ensure that the air always flows in one direction, avoiding cross and disorder of air flow.

2. High cleanliness

Due to the single air flow direction and uniform and stable speed, unidirectional flow can effectively take away pollutants in the air quickly, thus maintaining a high degree of cleanliness. In some industries with extremely high cleanliness requirements, such as electronic chip manufacturing and biomedicine, unidirectional flow clean workshops are widely used.

3. Relatively high energy consumption

To maintain the air distribution form of unidirectional flow, a relatively high air supply volume and pressure difference are required. This leads to relatively high energy consumption and operating costs of unidirectional flow clean workshops.

II. Characteristics of Mixed Flow

1. Diversified air flow directions

The air flow direction in the mixed flow clean workshop is relatively complex, with both horizontal and vertical flows. This air distribution method can achieve better air mixing and pollutant removal effects through the interaction of air flows in different directions.

2. High flexibility

The mixed flow clean workshop can be flexibly adjusted according to different production processes and spatial layouts. For example, by adjusting the position, number and wind speed of air supply outlets and air return outlets, the cleanliness requirements of different areas can be met.

3. Relatively low energy consumption

Compared with unidirectional flow, the air supply volume and pressure difference of mixed flow clean workshops are relatively small, so the energy consumption is also lower. This makes mixed flow have certain advantages in some occasions with high energy consumption requirements.

III. Application Scenarios of Unidirectional Flow and Mixed Flow

1. Application scenarios of unidirectional flow

Unidirectional flow clean workshops are suitable for occasions with extremely high cleanliness requirements and relatively single production processes. For example, electronic chip manufacturing workshops, biomedical laboratories, etc. In these occasions, any tiny pollutant may have a serious impact on product quality, so unidirectional flow is needed to ensure a high-cleanliness environment.

2. Application scenarios of mixed flow

Mixed flow clean workshops are suitable for occasions with more complex production processes and diversified spatial layouts. For example, automobile manufacturing workshops, food processing workshops, etc. In these occasions, it is necessary to flexibly adjust the air distribution form according to different production areas and process requirements to achieve the best cleaning effect and energy-saving effect.
