Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Emerging Technologies in (Suite) Pressure Control, Performance Modeling and Design Practices Presented by Wei Sun, P.E. ASHRAE Clean Spaces Technical Committee (TC9.) Chairman Healthcare Facilities Technical Committee (TC9.6) Member Laboratory Systems Technical Committee (TC9.) Member Principal, Director of Engineering Engsysco, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Engsysco Introduction Pressurization Technique Purposes Direct desired flow patterns Isolate airborne cross contamination Definition A technique that air pressure differences are created mechanically between rooms to introduce intentional air movement paths through room leakage openings. These openings could be either designated, such as doorways, or undesignated, such as air gaps around doorframes or other duct/piping penetration cracks. How to achieve It can be achieved by arranging the controlled volumes of supply, return, and exhaust airstreams to each room within the space. Introduction Basic Rules connection between two adjacent rooms is through connecting opening(s). If a door between two rooms is open, the doorway will be the main designated flow path. If the door is closed, then the leakage will be through undesignated paths, such as air gaps along doorframes, joints, pipe and duct penetrations and gaps around ceiling panels etc. Most of these controllable cracks (except for operable doors) in typical controlled spaces are required to be permanently sealed. > P2 2 RA + EA RA 2 + EA 2 Leakage Flows Closed SA SA 2 P2 > P2 2 RA + EA RA 2 + EA 2 Leakage Flows Opened SA SA 2 P2
2 Introduction Basic Rules To Achieve P > P 2, SA > (RA +EA ), and SA 2 < (RA 2 +EA 2 ) SA = (RA +EA ) + Q SA 2 + Q = (RA 2 +EA 2 ) Q is the leakage (transfer) air from to 2, if both rooms are tightly sealed, except for the opening between rooms. 2 RA + EA RA 2 + EA 2 Q Leakage Flow Leakage SA SA 2 P2 Introduction Relationship between Leakage Flow, Leakage Area and Pressure Drop across Leakage Path The pressure drop (differential) across an opening (either a crack 2 or a doorway) is strongly related with the leakage opening size RA + EA RA 2 + EA 2 (effective leakage area) and Q Leakage Flow A leakage flow through the opening. Leakage Area To quantitatively achieve a SA SA 2 P2 desired room pressure (or, pressure differential between rooms), leakage openings and Pressure Differential respective leakage airflows need to be studied together. flow through Leakage Power Equation: (Esq.. ) n Q = C () 2 RA + EA Q Leakage Flow A Leakage Area where Pressure Differential Q = volumetric flow rate CFM (L/s) = pressure drop across opening in. of water (Pa) C = flow coefficient CFM/(in. of water n ) (L/s/Pa n ) n = flow exponent dimensionless SA RA 2 + EA 2 SA 2 P2 flow through Large Designated Orifice Equation: (Esq.. 2) Q = 26 A (I-P unit) 2 RA + EA Q Leakage Flow RA 2 + EA 2 A Leakage Area Q = 84 A SA SA 2 P2 (SI unit) where Pressure Differential Q = volumetric flow rate CFM (L/s) = pressure drop across opening in. of water (Pa) A = large designated opening area's) ft 2 (m 2 ) 26 = unit conversion factor dimensionless (I-P unit) 84 = unit conversion factor dimensionless (SI unit) Orifice Equation is more popularly used in design community
3 Leakage Rate vs. Pressure Difference for Various Leakage Areas (Based on Orifice Equation) Leakage Flowrate (cfm) 2,,9,8,7,6,,4,3,2,, Leakage Area (Sq. in.) Pressure Differential Between s (in.) Leakage Area Value Determination Large designated openings such as doorway can be easily measured. However irregular opening such as a crack can not be measured physically, there is other means to estimate the equivalent size, or called Effective Leakage Area (ELA). For Existing s: Field Blower Test (ASTM 987, CGSB 986) to obtain more precious data. For Future s during design phase: Use ASHRAE ELA tables for building components (doors, walls, joints, etc.) as estimated values. ASTM Blower Test, - Traditional -tightness Test Portable Pressurization Blower Test can produce a set of data of Q - P, and a power equation curve fit with calculated constants (C, n, ELA) that defines a room s unique and dynamic leakage characteristic. Abnormal test ranges: ASTM (987): Pa (. -.3 in.) CGSB (986): - Pa ( in.) Labor intense, time consuming Disruption to occupied spaces Blower Test - Multiple-Point Test Data for Power Equation Curve Fitting Power equation: n Q = C ( ) Once obtained Q - data set, C and n can be calculated: m m m ( lnqk ln k ) m (lnqk ln k ) n = k = k = k = m m 2 2 ( ln k ) m (ln k ) k = k = m m lnqk n ln k C = EXP k = k = m

R Value Chart is convenient for design engineers to determine SA and (RA+EA) ratio during air distribution arrangement. Chart Pressurization Ratio vs. Leakage Rate for Various Supply Rates
6 Space versus Pressurization Ratios The relationship between the space pressurization ratio and its individual room pressurization ratios: R = n ( SAi SA) i = R i The space pressurization ratio, an indicator of relative pressurization level, can be used to adjust air gains or losses among zones in order to arrange desired air flows within a building. Adjacent s under Various Pressures If a room has several leakage openings with adjacent rooms, the room s pressurization ratio is: R R R = n SA R SA i = Q i Pressure Differential and Crack Velocity Criterion (Pressure Differential ) For single room: :. in. of water (2.

Pressurization Criterion Pressure Differential Crack Leakage Velocity V Large Velocity V Unit Pressurization Criterion Comparison Basis In fpm ,64,98,444,67 Eq. (), when n=.6 fpm Eq. (2a) Pressurization Variables and Control Strategies flow differential between entering airflow (supply airflow, SA) and leaving airflow (exhaust and/or return airflows, EA+RA), normally called offset value (ΔV), which equals the total leakage airflow (ΣQ) of the room. To maintain a specific room pressure value, the room s offset airflow (ΔV) must be controlled and maintained at the appropriate value. s offset airflow can be controlled directly or indirectly. The treatment of the room offset value defines a pressurization control strategy. Typical pressurization control techniques are: Direct Pressure-Differential Control, Differential Flow Tracking Control, Hybrid Control and Adaptive Control.

It basically ignores the specific offset value as required, instead, it directly controls the airflow control devices to achieve the required pressure differential. T Suitable for a tightly constructed room with limited traffics. switch is recommended to trigger a reduced pressure differential setpoint if the door opens. Differential Flow Tracking Control (DF) Intuitively assumes an offset value which is used as a flow difference between the entering and leaving airflows to control their respective airflow devices. Maintain the same offset value throughout the operation to keep pressurization constant, or maintain a constant percentage offset value which creates a weaker pressurization at lower flow. T Suitable for open-style rooms or rooms with frequent traffics Hybrid Control (+DF) Combines the pressure accuracy of the direct pressure differential control and the stability of the flow tracking control. The offset value is reset-able based on pressure differential reading. The offset value reset schedule is pre-determined and controller s parameters are fixed manually in field. This method is also called cascaded control. T Suitable for open-style rooms or rooms with frequent traffics Multiple- (Suite) Pressure Control Strategies Single room control technologies often cause problems in Suite Pressure Control during air balancing, since the following phenomena are often ignored: Adjusting one room s offset value will impact adjacent rooms air pressures if they were just balanced earlier. One room s air gain could be another room s air loss through leakages. Example - Pharmaceutical Aseptic Suite

Manifolded or Open to Corridor Supply Designated Leakage Flow Minor Leaks Thru. Cracks Pressure Differential Switch Position Outputs Flowrate Inputs SUITE CONTROLLER Pressure Inputs Return Switch Inputs Adaptive Control (+DF+AD) The three traditional methods (, DF and +DF) are either to ignore, assume or manually fix in field the offset value respectively. The adaptive (+DF+AD) approach directly accounts for leakage flows between the rooms in a suite. It controls all rooms pressures all together as an optimized system, instead of controlling each room pressure independently. It actively adjusts the flow offset of each room according to an on-line pressurization model. The model uses flow and pressure differential measurements to estimate the leakage values between the rooms and adjust flow offset of each room automatically. Automated -tightness Test Pre-condition for Truly Adaptive Control Similarly as Blower Test, but fully automated. A room s unique dynamic leakage characterization can also be automatically achieved by digital controller, precision pressure differential sensor (±. in./.2 Pa) and airflow control devices (±%). These devices are often permanently installed in lab and clean room environments. This automated pressurization test (Q- P data set) is faster and cheaper, and can be handled remotely.

A single barrier door could cause a short duration of backflow contamination until the motor or actuator completes the modulation cycle of re-balancing, additional means to prevent possible backflow contamination, such as double-door airlock is necessary.

This barrier could be single door, an airlock (two doors in series), mini environment, or glove box. The lower of the level, the better barrier s performance, or the better decontamination effectiveness.
