Clean Rooms - Flawless air quality management, guaranteed
 
In clean rooms, avoiding contamination depends on irreproachable indoor air quality management. That’s why, for 45 years, Kimo Instruments has been putting the best of its R&D expertise to work for these critical environments, which are subject to particularly stringent standards. Our aim, as always, is to manufacture the best products and to deliver an impeccable service to industry professionals.
 
At the cutting edge across all sectors   Spanning every aspect of metrology   The jewel in our
crown
  Fighting contamination with
precision

 
 
 
Effective ventilation system management is essential in any sector where airborne particles such as dust, bacteria, viruses, micro-particles and aerosols can disrupt operations. At Kimo Instruments, we work hand in hand with our partners in industries ranging from advanced electronics and pharmaceuticals to aviation, hospitals and biotechnology.
  Kimo Instruments harnesses the full breadth of its metrology expertise to help clean rooms adhere to stringent standards, from constant monitoring to ad hoc tests and everything in between: air flow balancing, certified calibration, and testing and repairing of measurement instruments for pressure, humidity, temperature, air velocity and air flow, CO2 concentration and other parameters.   Controlled-environment buildings demand the very best monitoring and control instruments – certified and setting the gold standard for reliability. Kimo Instruments has its own manufacturing facilities, in-house laboratories accredited to ISO 17025:2017, and a team of onsite technicians with the requisite expertise, all backed by a 45-year track record in metrology. That’s why our customers rely on us to supply flawless measurement instruments, and to be there by their side for the long term.   In clean rooms, monitoring and control measurements rely on extremely narrow margins, especially when it comes to differential pressure. Each room has to be kept slightly above or below the pressure outside in order to prevent the risk of atmospheric contamination. Kimo’s instruments are designed to provide the measurement accuracy and resolution that these demanding applications require.

Air change rate is the speed at which all the air inside a room is replaced by the ventilation system. To calculate this rate (ACR), expressed per hour, the airflow rate of each inlet of the ventilation system is divided by the total volume of the room concerned.

The pressure differential between adjacent cleanrooms or clean zones of different cleanliness level should lie typically in the range of 5 Pa to 20 Pa, to allow doors to be opened and to avoid unintended cross-flows due to turbulence.
 
Monitoring and regulation!

In clean rooms, air parameters need to be regulated and monitored around the clock. At Kimo Instruments, we put every inch of our expertise to work to develop premium measurement instruments that set the bar high for reliability, accuracy and durability. This type of application requires multifunction transmitters, or transmitters specially designed to measure a specific parameter.

The constant monitoring system is linked to real-time regulation of the ventilation system via a network of instruments, which themselves are connected to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This interconnected architecture, known as Building Automation, forms the core of Building Management Systems (in commercial applications) or Centralised Technical Management systems (in industrial premises) – automation systems that also optimise the building’s energy use by analysing data collected by our measurement instruments. That’s why Kimos transmitters are open by design, meaning have standard outputs – both analogue and digital. And our transmitters offer the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to Building Management System topology, structure and configuration. The aim is to monitor air quality parameters non-stop and around the clock, to achieve flawless indoor air quality management and to support preventive maintenance of the ventilation system.

Here you will find ideas and solutions for exactly this application.

 
Multifunction transmitters

Kimo’s multifunction transmitters are the most advanced instruments of their kind in our range – and the go-to choice for round-the-clock monitoring of clean room environments.

These instruments are designed with flawless, permanent operation in mind, leaving the rest of the market trailing when it comes to accurate, reliable measurement of a wide range of air parameters – including one of the most important parameters for professionals in regulated environments: differential pressure.

These transmitters can also accommodate additional probes for measuring and displaying up to four parameters simultaneously (pressure, temperature/humidity, air velocity, air flow, and CO/CO2 concentration).

Pressure

Measuring pressure is especially important in regulating the incoming air dynamic pressure and monitoring air filters, which clog foul at different rates depending on their filtration efficiency. Differential pressure manometers also monitor high-side and low-side pressure in production rooms.

Differential pressure measurements in critical rooms are crucial to maintain the extremely low concentration of airborne particles. These measurements are used by the regulation systems to manage efficiently the ventilation in each area. Our differential pressure transmitters are renowned for their outstanding performance.

Flushmount transmitters also monitor zone-specific confinement in order to avoid atmospheric contamination in pharmaceutical production and hospital settings.

Building on its long-standing expertise in pressure measurement instruments, Kimo Instruments solutions – connected transmitters and liquid column manometers – cover every application. Our transmitters are ideal for recording values remotely and over time. Our liquid column manometers are unmatched when it comes to durability and function without a power supply, which makes them exceptionally resilient..

Temperature and humidity       Air velocity and Airflow    

     
   
According to ISO 14644-3, the ventilation system in a clean room must be capable of maintaining temperature and humidity values within operation-specific limits. These rules are designed to prevent common problems such as the expansion or contraction of materials, the spread of pathogens, and corrosion.

All Kimo Instruments temperature transmitters measure relative humidity. They are used in all applications, and are especially popular in the pharmaceutical industry, where production zones often have to adhere to strict environmental standards for product preservation reasons. These transmitters can also be found in storage and packing areas in health care, high tech and other critical manufacturing sectors.

Solution
TH 210-R
  The air flow through inlets and outlets needs to be precisely controlled in order to maintain a sufficient air change rate within different zones of a clean room complex. Meeting this stringent requirement becomes even more challenging when indoor air is purified by filters that capture bacteria, viruses and other airborne particles. These filters disrupt the air flow, potentially creating turbulence or reducing flow rates.

Clean rooms in the most stringent ISO classes (1-5) must have a turbulencefree laminar air flow that optimises air circulation and air change, while maintaining pressure at a sufficiently stable level to keep it above or below atmospheric pressure. Keeping check on the ventilation system to make sure it is perfectly balanced means measuring air flows around the clock.
