Phoenix Controls, a Honeywell business that provides precision airflow control solutions for critical environments, has launched the Critical Spaces Control Platform.
The platform uses automation to direct airflow via a specialised venturi valve in hospitals, laboratories, research facilities cleanrooms and other spaces.
This Phoenix Controls innovation “ensures a dynamically balanced system in a way that is both sustainable and energy efficient without compromising the safety and integrity of critical spaces,” said Conor Murray, Principal Consultant in 3dimension Cleanrooms and the current Chair of the International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies.
Dynamic airflow control and changing air change rates
Precise airflow management is essential in such areas because the slightest unexpected environmental change can have profound consequences, such as a researcher being exposed to harmful toxins due to lack of critical space containment, a patient contracting a surgical-site infection from airborne bacteria or a batch of medicine being wasted due to infiltration and cleanroom contamination.
