Pharmaceutical Cleanroom

The Celeris^® critical environmental control system from Phoenix Controls provides a precise and stable environment for pharmaceutical cleanroom spaces. Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities have very exacting requirements when it comes to maintaining a sterile stable environment. Downtime in a production facility of this type is extremely costly; therefore a highly reliable control system that does not require on-going maintenance is a must.

These spaces are characterized by:

• High volume of conditioned air to achieve up to 150 to 200 ACH
• Requirement for laminar airflow
• HEPA filtration on both the supply and exhaust
• Stringent requirements on temperature and humidity control
• Need to verify proper pressurization
• Requirement that ventilation, pressurization and climate control parameters be monitored for validation and verification purposes
• The need to decontaminate the space between product change over
• The high cost of downtime for maintenance or repair

All these challenges can be addressed using the Phoenix Controls Accel^® II venturi valve and the Celeris integrated control system.

• Accel II valve is renowned for its ability to maintain accurate and stable airflow control
• Pressure independence of the Accel II valve automatically compensates for HEPA filter loading and other variations in duct static pressure
• Celeris Progressive Offset Control provides accurate and stable pressure control – especially with cascaded pressure zones
• Highly configurable temperature control functions provide many options for precisely controlling local space temperature and humidity
• Celeris system integrates seamlessly with BACnet^® capable Building Management Systems – all present values are available for display and pressure, ventilation, temperature and humidity may be placed under the control of the BMS
• Celeris shut-off valves and low leakage shut-off valves allow you to isolate the space for decontamination using network commands
• Airflow control devices from Phoenix Controls require less balancing support then terminal boxes and no ongoing maintenance

Celeris and the Accel II venturi valve combine to provide optimal airflow and climate control for pharmaceutical manufacturing cleanroom spaces that require high integrity control and reliability and seamless integration.
