Welcome to the latest issue of Kingspan news!

Hello!

Cleanrooms and controlled environments are used for a variety of purposes, from food and drink preparation, to advanced microtechnology manufacture and surgical operations. The ability to effectively prevent contamination within these areas is heavily reliant on the performance of the HVAC system. The choice of ductwork therefore needs to be given careful consideration.

The basic principles of a modern cleanroom are identified within ISO 14644-1:2015 which defines the space as a:

“room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimise the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room and in which other relevant parameters, e.g. temperature, humidity and pressure, are controlled as necessary”.

With potentially hundreds of metres of ductwork required for larger cleanrooms, specifiers need a solution which can reliably meet the standards. The Kingspan KoolDuct System provides a modular alternative to conventional sheet metal ductwork. Its panels are formed from rigid phenolic insulation faced with aluminium and when fabricated into ductwork can offer several notable advantages for these high specification applications.
