Material Typically made of stainless steel or galvanized aluminum steel sheet, with anti-rust and anti-corrosion surface treatment. These materials ensure structural strength, resistance to rust, and minimal particle generation.
Functions
Support Frame: Provides structural support for the entire FFU, enabling it to be securely embedded into the ceiling grid (T-Bar) of the clean room.
Air Guidance: The internal design of the casing (e.g., guide vanes) helps optimize airflow, reduce turbulence, and ensure more uniform air passage through the filter.
This is the "heart" of the FFU, typically a direct-drive backward-curved centrifugal fan (EC or AC fan).
Motor Types
| Motor Type | Description |
|---|---|
| AC Motor | Uses an alternating current motor, with speed controlled by voltage regulation. Simple structure and lower cost, but relatively lower energy efficiency and less precise control. |
| DC Motor | Uses a brushless DC motor. The most mainstream type today. It offers high energy efficiency, long lifespan, low noise, and minimal vibration. |
| EC Motor | Electronically Commutated motor — an advanced form of DC motor. Combines advantages of both AC and DC motors, operates on AC power while converting internally to DC, providing extremely high energy efficiency and precise control. |
Features The fan is directly connected to the motor, eliminating belt drives. This avoids contamination from belt wear, results in a more compact structure, and simplifies maintenance.
This is the "lungs" of the FFU, responsible for filtering airborne particles.
Types: The vast majority of FFU use HEPA filters, while ULPA filters are used for more stringent requirements.
Installation Methods
Gel Seal: The filter frame has a channel filled with sealant gel. It mates with a knife-edge on the FFU casing, creating an airtight seal using the gel (e.g., jelly-like sealant). This is the most efficient and reliable sealing method, commonly used in high-grade clean rooms.
Mechanical Clamping + Gasket Seal: The filter is pressed against the casing via a spring or bolt mechanism, with a rubber or polyurethane gasket in between. This method is relatively easier to install and has a lower cost.
Control Unit
Individual Controller: Each FFU is equipped with a separate speed controller (knob or digital display) for individual airflow adjustment.
Group Control System: A central management system that monitors, adjusts speeds, and manages alarms for hundreds or thousands of FFU collectively via a network or bus (e.g., RS485, Ethernet), enabling intelligent control.
Pre-filter A primary or medium-efficiency filter located on the fan's intake side. Its purpose is to protect the fan and extend the service life of the more expensive downstream HEPA/ULPA filter.
Airflow Equalizing Plate A perforated plate located below the HEPA/ULPA filter. It helps to make the clean airflow exiting the filter more uniform and stable, preventing turbulent flow.
Filtering efficiency for particles ≥ 0.3μm. Standard for most clean room environments.
Higher-grade filter for 0.1–0.2μm particles. Used in semiconductors and biosafety laboratories.
