• a cleanroom is a controlled environment that has a low level of pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and
chemical vapors.

Typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, a cleanroom is a controlled environment that has a low level of pollutants
such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapors. To be exact, a cleanroom has a controlled level of
contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. The ambient air outside in
a typical city environment contains 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter, 0.5 micron and larger in diameter, corresponding to an
ISO 9 cleanroom which is at the lowest level of cleanroom standards.

• A server room is a room, usually air-conditioned, devoted to the continuous operation of computer servers
• keep your servers cool and running efficiently.
• Whether you’re trying to cool a single server or an entire server room, The Air Conditioning Company have the expertise to keep
your servers cool all year round. When recommending an air conditioner for a server room our surveyors will ask you about your
future plans for the room (e.g. if you are planning to upgrade your systems, add extra servers and/or computers) to make sure that
we specify the right unit to future-proof the installation, taking care of any additional heat load.
• Ideal Systems for Server Rooms: Wall-Mounted Air Conditioners
• Wall-mounted air conditioners are the most frequently used aircon units used in server rooms. Wall units are used for many
reasons in server rooms. Firstly, you can direct the cold air directly at the server so they are kept as cool as possible. There are also
specific wall-mounted air conditioning models that are purpose-built to deal with the intense, constant cooling that a server room
requires.
• In organisations where the consequences of a failed server, if only for an hour or two, can be deemed catastrophic (for example, a
financial trading floor) we strongly advise that an extra air conditioning unit is installed as an emergency backup. Better be safe
than sorry! If you would like to be extra safe, then ask our surveyors when they visit you.

• Under-Ceiling Units for Server Rooms
• The only other solution we recommend for server rooms is under-ceiling air conditioners. These units are used
when a higher-powered option than a wall-mounted unit is needed. This extra power (up to 14kW) can handle
up to 6 additional servers or even a larger room.

OPERATION THEATERS
OT Construction:
a) Paint- antibacterial, anti-fungal
b) OT door – automatic/ Hermitically Sealed/Touch free
(preferable)
c) General Lights – Clean room lights
d) Provision of safety against static charge.
e) Separate power circuit for equipment like C-arm
f) Flooring – seamless, incl skirting, should not be of
porous stone as it absorbs moisture and could be a source
of bio-burden.

• Window & split A/c should not be used in any type of OT because they are pure re circulating units and have
convenient pockets for microbial growth which cannot be sealed.
