The Science of ComfortTM
In the meticulous realm of cleanroom environments, controlling air quality is paramount. Price Industries’ Fan Filter Units (FFUs) offer a comprehensive array of control options for permanent split capacitor (PSC) and electronically commutated (EC) motors to ensure optimal performance, efficiency and convenience.

There is a misconception that VAV diffusers are noisy, but a review of their performance data shows that they have a pressure versus noise relationship similar to that of all diffusers. The difference is that VAV diffusers have a built-in VAV damper and can close to a minimum, possibly building up pressure in the system. It is the higher pressure that makes diffusers noisy, and because of this, a method of pressure control should be used in every VAV diffuser system.

Patient care is constantly evolving, and these changes impact how we design spaces within psychiatric care facilities – including the components for air distribution systems. Patient health and safety is at the forefront of design considerations, but a challenge faced by many HVAC designers is a lack of guidance as to what types of air inlets and outlets should be installed in these unique spaces.

Maintaining a pressure relationship between a target and reference space provides control over the direction of air leakage that occurs between the spaces. Controlling the direction of this “transfer air” helps to prevent the migration of unwanted particles, which can directly impact occupants and products in or near such spaces.
