Fan Filter Unit

What is Fan Filter Unit?

A Fan Filter Unit (FFU) is a motorised unit, which helps in the air filtering process and provides clean, filtered air to a cleanroom. Fan filter unit is a flexible and economic solution, which provides purified or filtered air to clean rooms, laboratories, manufacturing units, medical facilities and much more by removing harmful particles present in the air.

FFU or Fan Filter Unit comes integrated with HEPA filters or ULPA filters, fan and control systems. Air is supplied using the fan, through a pre-filter and then via the integrated HEPA or ULPA filters. This process helps in filtering the air of any airborne particles or sub-micron particles, which ensures that pure and filtered air is supplied in the clean room.

The FFU unit is usually installed within the system’s ceiling or floor grid and creates a positive room pressure. Not only this, Fan Filter Unit for clean room is a more energy efficient route than using an Air Handling Unit (AHU).

How does Fan Filter Units Work?

HEPA Fan Filter Unit for clean room is typically available in 2’ x 2’ or 2’ x 4’ size options, which is best suitable for a clean room of 500 to 1000 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). An FFU unit can be easily fitted in the ceiling grid of the same size and dimensions. Fan Filter Unit for clean room helps in the filtering of the air.

An FFU draws the air via a motorized fan, which passes through the pre-filter and then through HEPA or ULPA filter to remove any sub-micron particles present in the air. This process helps in a continuous supply of clean and processed air supply. The Chempharm India HEPA Fan Filter Unit removes particles down to 0.3 microns at 99.995% efficiency.

An Electronically Commutated Motor or ECM is also installed with the HEPA filters, which helps in controlling HEPA speed by using electronic controls. Not only this, it also helps in monitoring HEPA filter health and sends a filter pressure drop or failure notification as well. This can also work along with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which can help you maintain the consistent velocity with the increase of pressure drop across the filter.

Features of Fan Filter Unit

Following are some of the primary features of using a Fan Filter Unit:

• HEPA Fan Filter Unit for clean room can be easily installed as per the change in requirement or while any maintenance activity. It does not require any additional power lines to run
• FFUs and lights can be easily added as cleanrooms requirements change, or disconnected for maintenance, without the need to run additional power lines or involve an electrician.
• We can make clean room as per any standard and class up to Class 100 / ISO 5 by using HEPA FFU. No need for any AHU or large dustings and Insulations
• Return is taken through risers and thrown back on the top of the FFU
• Cooling effect is generally using Fan coil units or ductable splits
• Best fit for Labs and pharma / electronic clean rooms

Benefits of Fan Filter Unit

Following are some of the advantages and benefits of HEPA Fan Filter Units available in India:

• A Fan Filter Unit for Clean Room helps in providing the uniform air speed across the filter face, which assists in managing a consistent clean room environment
• HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in the FFUs are rated 99.995% efficient at removing particles ≥ 0.3 microns
• A Fan Filter Unit can run for years with no additional maintenance and still manages to provide a 24 x 7 operation to assist in clean room environment (depending on the air quality)
• The HEPA Fan Filter Units help capturing and removing several bacteria, viruses and mold spores, which gives birth to a wide variety of infections and illnesses in both humans and animals
