Paper Title
An Air Filter Selection Supporting System For A Clean Room
Abstract
A proper clean room design is a critical part in a clean room industry to save an energy consumption and an
investment cost of filters. There are many institutesthat recommend air change rate for a clean room such asthe Institute of
Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, thesetwo institutes
specify only guidelines of minimum air change rates for each specific level of cleanliness without recommending proper filter
series. Clean room designers normally selectfiltersthat follow the guidelines based upon their experience. Many designers
select filter series that are low cost without considering the operating cost. This paper proposes a methodology to select proper
filter series that comply with standards by considering both investment and operating costs.
