The operating room is an important technical department of the hospital, which provides corresponding operations and rescue sites according to the patient's condition. With the rapid development of surgical technology, the operating room is becoming more modern, and the safe operating room of universities can meet the needs of organ transplantation, heart, blood vessel, artificial joint replacement and other large-scale operations under the aseptic environment of the operating room. In order to be able to rescue patients in time, the layout of the operating room should be connected to the surgical department, but also close to the blood bank, nursing room, anesthesia and resuscitation room, etc. And pay attention to the management of the four ways in the operating room, such as: the designated air cleanliness classification of the operating room; the items needed in the operating room; the professional operating skills of doctors and nurses; prevent infection and ensure the success rate of surgery. The air pressure of the operating room varies according to the cleanliness requirements of different areas (such as the operating room, sterile preparation room, hand brushing room, anesthesia room, and surrounding clean area, etc.). Different levels of laminar flow operating rooms have different air cleanliness standards. For example, the United States Federal Standard 1000 is the number of dust particles ≥0.5μm per cubic foot of air, ≤1000 particles or ≤35 particles per liter of air. The standard of 10,000-level laminar flow operating room is the number of dust particles ≥0.5μm per cubic foot of air, ≤10,000 particles or ≤350 particles per liter of air. And so on. The main purpose of ventilation in the operating room is to eliminate exhaust gas in each work room; to ensure the necessary amount of fresh air in each work room; to remove dust and microorganisms; to maintain the necessary positive pressure in the room. There are the following two mechanical ventilation methods that can meet the ventilation requirements of the operating room. Combined use of mechanical air supply and mechanical exhaust: This type of ventilation can control the number of air changes, air exchange volume and indoor pressure, and the ventilation effect is better. Mechanical air supply and natural exhaust air are used together. The air exchange and the number of air exchanges in this ventilation method are limited to a certain extent, and the ventilation effect is not as good as the former. The cleanliness level of the operating room is mainly distinguished by the number of dust particles and the number of biological particles in the air. Currently, the most commonly used is the NASA classification standard. Purification technology achieves the purpose of sterility by controlling the cleanliness of the positive pressure purification air flow. According to different air supply methods, purification technology can be divided into two types: turbulent flow system and laminar flo...
Is Your Air Purifier Really Working? You turn it on every day. The fan is running. The indicator lights look normal. But the real question is: how to know if an air purifier is actually working? At Wonclean, we have spent years working deeply in the cleanroom industry. Evaluating air filtration performance is part of our daily routine. Whether in high-standard cleanrooms or ordinary indoor environments, the logic for determining whether air purification is truly effective is essentially the same. This guide will explain it clearly, professionally, and without unnecessary complexity—so you can truly understand what’s happening with your air purifier. Why “Running” Does Not Mean “Purifying” An air purifier can be powered on and operating while its filtration performance has already significantly declined. Filters are consumables. Once they approach saturation, airflow, filtration efficiency, and indoor air quality all decrease simultaneously. If you only check whether the unit is turned on, it’s easy to develop a false sense of security—and overlook potential pollution risks. Key Ways to Tell If an Air Purifier Is Actually Working Visual Inspection: The Filter Never Lies The most direct—and most often ignored—method is simply looking at the filter. New filters are usually white or light gray Darkened or blackened filters indicate heavy particle accumulation Visible dust on the surface suggests a clear drop in filtration efficiency If you notice these signs, it’s time to seriously consider an air purifier filter change. Airflow and Fan Performance A properly functioning air purifier should maintain stable airflow. Common warning signs include: Significantly weaker airflow Increased noise but reduced air volume Noticeable performance decline compared to initial use These usually mean the filter resistance has increased and the filter is near or at saturation. Air Quality Feedback Depending on your purifier’s configuration, watch for: PM2.5 or VOC levels that fail to drop to normal ranges Faster dust accumulation on indoor surfaces Odors lingering much longer than before All of these are direct indicators of reduced purification efficiency. Differential Pressure & Performance Testing In cleanroom systems, we rely on data rather than assumptions: Test Method What It Indicates Meaning Differential pressure Filter resistance High values = clogging Particle counting Air cleanliness Exceeding limits = failure or leakage Air velocity testing Actual airflow Decrease = restricted filtration These methods are also applicable in professional air purifier service scenarios. How Often Should You Change Air Purifier Filters? This is a high-search-volume question—and a critical one. Typical reference intervals: Filter Type Average Service Life Pre / primary filter 3–6 months HEPA filter 12–24 months Activated carbon filter 3–6 months That’s why how often to change air purifier filters has no single correct answer. A reasonable decision should consider usage tim...
The ultra-clean workbench is a facility that provides a sterile operating environment for laboratory work to protect the experiment from the external environment, while providing a certain degree of protection for the external environment to prevent contamination and protect the operator. To The ultra-clean workbench can be divided into vertical type, inside-out type and lateral type. In terms of operating quality and environmental impact, the vertical type is superior. The clean air provided by the air supply filter plate descends through the operation area at a specific speed, and is divided approximately in the middle of the operation area. It is sucked by the front air suction hole and the rear suction window, and the air sucked in the lower part of the operation area is mixed. Together, they are pumped into the rear positive pressure zone by a blower. In the upper part of the machine, 30% of the gas is discharged from the top through the exhaust filter plate, and about 70% of the gas is reentered into the operating area through the oxygen filter plate. In order to supplement the air discharged from the exhaust port, the same volume of air is replenished from the room air through the operating port. To Instructions for use of ultra-clean workbench 1. Before using the ultra-clean workbench, apply UV light for 30-40 minutes, and check that all openable doors and windows around the operating area are in working positions. The operation is best carried out in the center of the operating area, which is a safer area in design. 2. Before proceeding with the operation, you should have a preliminary understanding of the experimental materials, and understand the performance and safety level of the equipment you are using. Strictly implement laboratory safety regulations. The use of specific pathogens in any ultra-clean bench must undergo a safety assessment. If the experimental material will cause environmental pollution to the surrounding environment, it should be avoided in the model without exhaust filter plate, because operation in flowing air is no different from dispersing poison. 3. Any advanced equipment cannot guarantee the success of the experiment. The ultra-clean workbench of the animal quarantine laboratory is used for the purpose of sterility and avoiding cross-contamination. Therefore, skilled operation and clear aseptic essentials are essential. To The ultra-clean workbench is a relatively sophisticated electrical equipment, and it is very important to maintain and maintain it regularly. To Clean bench maintenance 1. Keep the room dry and clean. Moist air will not only cause corrosion of manufacturing materials, but also affect the normal operation of electrical circuits. Moist air is also conducive to the growth of bacteria and mold. 2. Regular cleaning of equipment is an important part of normal use. A clean environment can also extend the life of the filter plate. Cleaning should include routine cleaning before and after use a...

The entire process of the air purification project is relatively complicated and requires the cooperation of all aspects to better ensure the work effect. A little carelessness, as long as there is a problem in one of the links, it is possible that all previous efforts will be abandoned, which will have an adverse effect on the production of the enterprise. Let's analyze specifically what matters need to be paid attention to during the construction of the air purification project. 1. In the air purification project, the air purification treatment of all levels of air cleanliness should adopt three-stage filtration of primary, medium and high efficiency air filters. For 100,000-level air purification treatment, sub-high-efficiency air filters can be used instead of high-efficiency air filters. 2. The selection arrangement and installation method of the air filter shall meet the following requirements: (1) An oil-immersed filter should not be used for the primary air filter. (2) Medium-efficiency air filters should be centrally installed in the positive pressure section of the purified air conditioning system. (3) The high-efficiency air filter or sub-high-efficiency air filter should be installed at the end of the purified air conditioning system. The installation method of the high-efficiency air filter should be simple and reliable, and convenient for leak detection and replacement. (4) Medium efficiency, sub-high efficiency and high efficiency air filters should be selected according to the rated air volume. (5) High-efficiency air filters with similar resistance and efficiency should be installed in the same purification workshop. 3. When determining a centralized or decentralized clean air conditioning system, comprehensive consideration should be given to the characteristics of the production process and the cleanliness level, area, and location of the clean room air. For those clean rooms with continuous production processes, large areas of clean rooms or purification workshops, centralized locations and strict requirements for noise control and vibration control, it is best to use a centralized clean air conditioning system. 4. If electric heating is required for the purified air conditioning system, tubular electric heaters should be used, and the position should be on the windward side of the high efficiency air filter. Fire safety measures should be provided during use. 5. The blower can be selected according to the total air supply volume and total resistance value of the purified air conditioning system. The resistance of medium and high efficiency air filters should be calculated at twice the initial resistance. 6. In the air purification project, the purification air conditioning system should take preventive measures to prevent the outdoor polluted air from infiltrating into the purification workshop through the fresh air outlet in addition to the direct-flow system and the system with the on-duty fan. 7. When designing the clean a...
Clean room refers to the removal of particles, harmful air, bacteria and other pollutants in the air within a certain space, and the control of indoor temperature, cleanliness, indoor pressure, air velocity and air distribution, noise, vibration, lighting, and static electricity Within a certain range of needs, and given a specially designed room. That is, no matter how the external air conditions change, the room can maintain the original set requirements of cleanliness, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The main function of the clean room is to control the cleanliness, temperature and humidity of the atmosphere that the products (such as silicon chips, etc.) contact, so that the products can be produced and manufactured in a good environmental space. This space is called the clean room. 1. Indicators of clean room. 1) The air supply in the clean room is sufficient to dilute or eliminate indoor pollution. 2) The air in the clean room flows from the clean area to the area with poor cleanliness, the flow of contaminated air reaches the minimum, and the air flows in the correct direction at the doorway and in the indoor building. 3) The air supply in the clean room will not significantly increase indoor pollution. 4) The movement state of indoor air can ensure that there is no high concentration gathering area in the secret room. 2. Clean room test. 1. Air supply and exhaust air volume: If it is a turbulent clean room, the air supply and exhaust air volume must be measured. If it is a one-way flow clean room, the wind speed must be measured. 2. Airflow control between areas: To prove that the airflow movement direction between the areas is correct, that is, flow from the clean area to the area with poor cleanliness, it is necessary to check: (1) The pressure difference in each section is correct; (2) The direction of air movement at the doorway or openings on the wall, floor, etc. is correct, that is, it flows from the clean area to the poorly clean area. 3. Filter leak detection: The high-efficiency filter and its frame should be inspected to ensure that suspended pollutants will not pass through: (1) Damaged filter; (2) The gap between the filter and its outer frame; (3) Other parts of the filter device invade the room. 4. Isolation leak detection: This test is to prove that suspended pollutants do not penetrate the building materials into the clean room. 5. Indoor airflow control: The type of airflow control test depends on the airflow pattern of the clean room-turbulent flow or unidirectional flow. If the airflow in the clean room is turbulent, it must be verified that there is no area with insufficient airflow in the room. If it is a one-way flow clean room, it must be verified that the wind speed and direction of the entire room meet the design requirements. 6. Suspended particle concentration and microbial concentration: If the above tests meet the requirements, the particle concentration and microbial concentration (when necessary) are f...
