Abstract
A cleanroom is a manufacturing enclosed space in which high quality, high technology products such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, aerospace electronics, and photovoltaic cells are produced. ASHRAE Application Handbook (ASHRAEApplication Handbook, ASHRAE handbook, HVAC applications. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air conditioning Engineers, Atlanta, GA, 2015) divides the cleanroom applications into pharmaceutical (biotechnology), microelectronics (semiconductors), aerospace, and other miscellaneous applications such as food processing and manufacturing of artificial limbs. The most critical focus in such spaces are not the usual requirement of the typical highly controlled temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc. but it is the need for tight controlling and effectively removing particles from the room.
