Green Cleanroom – the energy-efficient CleanCell4.0®, CleanMediCell® and CleanSteriCell® cleanroom systems
With the cleanroom systems in the CleanCell energy costs are closely scrutinized and considered holistically. Thanks to the combination of innovative air circulation technology, a high degree of tightness and a user-guided control system, SCHILLING ENGINEERING’s systems consume far less energy than comparable cleanroom systems. Energy costs are significantly reduced and the environment is protected.
Energy-efficient recirculation technology
The highest energy consumption of a cleanroom is caused by the need for permanent air exchange. Filtered air is fed into the Cleanroom, particle-laden air is displaced and led out of the Cleanroom. The air circulation technology required for this is at the heart of SCHILLING ENGINEERING’s cleanroom systems. The air is removed from the Cleanroom in a permanent cycle and fed back into the filter systems of the ceiling plenum through the wall modules into the Cleanroom. This reuse of the already cooled and only slightly polluted air of the cleanroom saves a large part of the energy costs that would normally have to be spent on humidifying and cooling the new air supplied from outside. Due to the lower particle load of the reused air, the filters also become less clogged and the air exchange rates can also be reduced.
Utilization-controlled regulation
A completely new development is the user-controlled regulation of the cleanroom system. The required clean air supply is automatically controlled according to demand and the measured level of contamination. If no work processes are taking place, the air exchange rate is reduced, resulting in significant energy savings.
High degree of tightness
The tightness of a cleanroom is crucial for a safe and functional system. At the same time, a lot of energy is saved almost incidentally. If no particles enter the Cleanroom, the air exchange rate can be significantly reduced. If less air penetrates to the outside, the necessary pressure equalization is significantly lower, and the temperature and humidity in the room can be kept at the set level for longer, thus reducing cooling and heating costs.
The CleanCell cleanroom systems ensure tightness thanks to an innovative technical solution:
The wall and ceiling modules are joined together with absolute precision and automatically sealed using a patented sealing clip system.
Economical laminar flow modules
Only ULPA high-performance filters are used in the CleanCell systems, which have a low failure and maintenance rate and are very energy-efficient.
LED lighting
Our GMP-compliant LED lighting is integrated into the ceiling’s aluminum strips and saves a lot of energy in the long term. The strip lights are economical to use and have a much longer service life than conventional lamps. When replacing the lighting, a cleanroom system has to be switched off and restarted. These costs are often not taken into account, but are an argument in favor of using longer-lasting lighting.
Heat recovery
The system offers the option of energy-saving integrated heat recovery
Intelligent adjustment and monitoring
Further energy-saving potential lies in the precise and coordinated adjustment of all cleanroom components. With the SCHILLING CleanRoomControlSystem CR Control® control unit, all settings, including air conditioning technology, are made at a central point. This avoids energy-intensive tuning losses. Clear warnings, such as when a door has been open too long, enable rapid intervention and prevent unnecessary energy losses. Prompt and flexible intervention is also supported by an app that allows monitoring and control from any location via tablet and smartphone.
