1. FFU Structural Composition

1. Fan: Provides air circulation power 2. Filter: HEPA or ULPA grade 3. Enclosure: Guides airflow and provides support 4. Control System: Adjusts fan speed

II. Advantages of the Upgrade

1. Flexible Installation: No ductwork modifications required; mounts directly to the ceiling. 2. Easy Maintenance: Simple filter replacement with no production downtime. 3. Low Energy Consumption: Features EC fans for high efficiency. 4. Quiet Operation: Low-noise design improves the work environment. 5. High Cleanliness: Achieves ISO 5 cleanroom standards.

3. Transformation Cases

Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Renovation Project: - Original Cleanliness: ISO 8 Class - Target Cleanliness: ISO 7 Class - Solution: Installation of additional FFU units - Timeline: 7 days (operations continue during construction) - Outcome: Cleanliness standards met, energy consumption reduced by 15%

IV. Selection Recommendations

Calculate the required FFU quantity based on cleanroom area, target cleanliness level, and air changes per hour. Select the appropriate filter grade and fan model.
