Warehouse Facilities & Clean Rooms

Industrial facilities are generally characterised by having high density heat gains and producing possibly harmful by-products. It is therefore essential to design the ventilation systems to ensure safe working environment can be maintained for occupants under all conditions.

Detailed airflow analysis using CFD can help to check the compliance of systems against required standards.  Key features of this service include:

• Application in factories, pharmaceutical warehouses, recycling facilities, CHP plants, chilled storage, etc.
• Investigation of natural ventilation to maintain acceptable conditions
• Optimise design of ventilation equipment
• Extending the capabilities of thermal simulation to look at local conditions at different locations within space
• Iterative procedure to determine the optimal design
• Check compliance with health and safety requirements
• Analysis can include radiation, gases and particulate pollutants

Clean Rooms

Clean rooms have applications in wide variety of activities ranging from pharmaceutical research and chemical research, to precision manufacturing processes required for satellites. Control of dust and other pollutants is critical due to nature of the products being handled. Our CFD modeling includes:

• Research facilities in pharmaceutical and other research operations
• Ability to simulate gaseous and particulate contaminants
• Determine local air change effectiveness and particulate concentration in normal and purging mode
• Analysis of the ventilation system installed in clean rooms
• Transient simulations to calculate purging time in worst case scenarios
• Check for compliance with regulations and mandatory requirements
