Temperature and humidity limits in pharmaceutical industry

The clean room workshop project is mainly to remove the particles, harmful air, bacteria and other pollutants in the air within a certain space, and control the indoor temperature, cleanliness, indoor pressure, air velocity and air distribution, noise, vibration, lighting and static electricity within a certain demand range, so as to ensure that the products can be produced in a stable and outstanding environment. Such a stable production environment that meets the requirements is called the dust-free workshop, also known as the clean room. No matter how the external conditions change, the indoor cleanliness, temperature, humidity and pressure can be maintained in accordance with the original set requirements.

​

The cost of power consumption accounts for a large share in the production cost, and saving power is the common voice of pharmaceutical industry. The energy consumption of air conditioning system accounts for about 50% of the total power consumption, so the energy saving of air conditioning system is a feasible way to reduce the cost.

​

The operation requirements for temperature and humidity in pharmaceutical industry are very strict, so the air handling unit shall at least have refrigeration, heating, humidification, dehumidification and other functional sections, which will lead to large energy consumption of air conditioning. The handling personnel shall consider the energy conservation and consumption reduction in an important way when making initial investment, and strengthen the review of planning drawings in terms of energy conservation. Improve the quality of the management personnel and strengthen the training of air conditioning operators. At the same time, we should consider the improvement of power utilization rate from the aspects of reasonable planning scheme, elaborate construction equipment and scientific operation management.

According to regional environment, purification degree and other factors, clean room workshop can be divided into several grades. Generally speaking, the smaller the value, the higher the purification level. That is, level 100 > level 1000 > level 10000 > level 100000 > level 300000.
