A 30 percent reduction in air change rate results in a power reduction of approximately 66 percent.
Iso 8 clean room air changes.
The calculation below is based on a ceiling height of 3 meters.
Hepa filters help circulates the air needed to reduce cleanroom contaminants.
This post addresses air change tables and calculations in iso 2 iso 3 iso 4 and iso 5 cleanrooms with unidirectional airflow.
In reality however you can reach an iso 6 clean room with 1 recommendation is 2 airlock.
Once the room is completed most specifications call for testing and certification.

This table details the recommended air changes per hour for iso 14644 1 2015 cleanrooms and their associated gmp grade and federal standard.
Lower air change rates result in smaller fans which reduce both initial investment and construction cost.
The number of air changes per hour refers to the volume of filtered air in a single hour divided by the cleanroom volume.
Depending on the iso class there are required averages for the number of air changes per hour.
More air changes per hour are required for the better clean room class than the lower one.
Cleanroom differs from a normal comfort air conditioned space in the following ways.
Within you ll find summarized approaches for determining cleanroom air change rates but not recommendations.
Clean room and clean air device classification in relation to gmp 2008.
The requirement of number of air changes per hour for any clean room depends on the class of the room number of personnel working in the area and frequency of access the room.
Fan power is proportional to the cube of air change rates or airflow.
Iso class 8 5 60 air changes per hour with a ceiling coverage of 5 15.
Iso classification and hourly air change.
Calculating air change rate acr in non unidirectional cleanrooms iso 6 iso 8 the chart below is found within iso 14644 4 2004 design construction start up.
Cleanliness of any clean room is maintained by the air changes per hour.
Whereas comfort air conditioning would require about 2 10 air changes hr a typical cleanroom would typically require 20 60 air changes and could be as high as 600 for absolute cleanliness.
In an earlier post on air change rates for cleanrooms we outlined how to calculate cleanroom air exchange rates for iso 6 iso 7 and iso 8 cleanrooms.
A class 5 room can have an air change rate of 400 to 600 times per hour while a class 7 room can change at 50 to 60 changes per hour.
By minimizing turbulence lower airflow may improve cleanliness.
In theory for an entire room to reach iso 6 air cleanliness you need to enter the cleanroom via an iso 8 ante room then go through an iso 7 to finally get into the iso 6 as shown in the image.
