Introduction Air Showers are self contained chambers installed at entrances to cleanrooms and other controlled environments. They minimize particulate matter entering or exiting the clean space. Personnel and materials entering or exiting the controlled environment are scrubbed by high velocity ULPA-filtered air jets with velocities of 20-22m/s (000-00fpm). Contaminated air is then drawn through the base within the unit, filtered and recirculated. Esco is a leader in air showers for demanding applications in the micro-electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceutical, spraypainting, lab animal research and food markets. Esco filed its first Air Shower patent in the 190 s and since then has installed thousands of units in diverse markets worldwide. The present Esco Air Shower is a third-generation product and features a field-programmable microprocessor control that offers the maximum application flexibility of any unit on the market. Cleanroom Applications: The greatest source of particulate contamination in a cleanroom is the operator. Air showers are installed between change areas and the cleanroom. The air shower enhances cleanroom operating protocol by serving as a reminder to all operators that they are entering a controlled environment. Personnel therefore develop the habit of gowning up properly before entering the air shower. Pharmaceutical and Lab Animal Research Applications: Air showers keep pharmaceutical production and lab animal breeding areas clean and also minimize egress of hazardous substances and allergens from the controlled environment.

Air Shower Efficacy Testing Esco is the only company in the industry to validate the efficacy of our air showers using the body box test, a method pioneered by Esco. 1.

The operator gowns up (in a jumpsuit, booties, gloves, mask and hood), and enters a specially sealed enclosure (the body box). This enclosure is equipped with vertical laminar flow.

4 Air Shower Efficacy Testing Esco is the only company in the industry to validate the efficacy of our air showers using the body box test, a method pioneered by Esco. 1. New cleanroom garments without laundry processing, which have residual particulate contamination from manufacturing in a non cleanroom environment, are used. 2. The operator gowns up (in a jumpsuit, booties, gloves, mask and hood), and enters a specially sealed enclosure (the body box). This enclosure is equipped with vertical laminar flow.. The operator performs a series of standardized physical movements in order to induce the generation of particles in the body box, for a specific duration.. A particle counter connected to the base of the body box measures particle count levels. This count is the baseline level.. The operator gowns up using another garment from the same batch.. The operator proceeds into the air shower (device under test), for a shower cycle. 7. The operator exits the air shower and proceeds into the body box. In the body box the operator performs the same series of standardized physical movements in order to induce the generation of particles in the body box, for a specific duration.. Particle count levels are measured, and compared against the baseline. The overall efficacy of the air shower under test and shower cycle is calculated. Shower cleaning efficiency at various particle sizes is also characterized. 9. The test is repeated multiple times, to gather sufficient data and eliminate any bias.

Dispersed particulate matter migrate with the air stream towards the lower areas in the air shower chamber.

5 Air Shower Filtration System Blower ULPA Filter ULPA-filtered air Unfiltered / potentially contaminated air Air is forced by the blower(s) through ULPA filter(s) which are 99.99% efficient against particles of 0. microns. Filtered air is ejected through nozzles at high velocities into the chamber. These turbulent air streams disperse particulate matter on all surfaces. Dispersed particulate matter migrate with the air stream towards the lower areas in the air shower chamber. Air enters the blower supply plenum through pre-filter(s) installed at the base of the chamber. The air is continuously filtered and recirculated. The air shower is a selfcontained device and does not exchange air with the environment it is placed in. Air Shower Operating Sequences Unlike conventional air showers which are delivered with a fixed operating sequence, the Esco Air Shower s operating sequence may be selected from three pre-programmed sequences: Air Shower Air Shower Air Shower Grey Room Clean Room Grey Room Clean Room No Shower Direct Exit Grey Room Clean Room Air Shower One-Way Personnel may enter the controlled environment but not exit through the air shower. At the idle state, the clean side door is locked while the grey side is unlocked. This mode of operation is useful for controlling traffic patterns into and out of the controlled environment. Two-Way One-Way Personnel may enter or exit the controlled environment through the air shower. When entering the controlled environment the shower is activated. When exiting the shower is disabled to reduce throughput time. The air shower program is able to detect if the person is entering or exiting the controlled environment via door sensors and a time-sequenced control. Two-Way Personnel may enter or exit the controlled environment through the air shower. In both directions the air shower is activated. This mode of operation is useful in pharmaceutical and lab animal research applications to prevent the egress of hazardous substances and allergens from the controlled environment.
