Cleanroom HVAC Automated Control Systems
What are Automated Control Systems or ACS?
A control system is designed to control HEPA or ULPA FFUs (Fan filter Units) from an automated remote console or panel. Automated Control Systems (ACS) feature mounted controllers, CAT 5 cabling, and LED readout. ACS provides both global and individual fan speed on FFU modules.
Motors allow for fan speed adjustment and monitoring, nighttime setbacks, and controls that provide multiple settings. ACS control settings include the ability for automatic speed reduction of individually selected fans, off-peak energy savings, and an adjustable time clock (to drive the setback controller).
In addition, an ACS delivers precise air-flow control and provides direct energy savings when fan speeds are reduced in off-production times.
Three levels of adjustment are possible:
- Individual address
- Per Cleanroom zone
- Globally (all addresses)

How do Automated Control Systems Work with Cleanroom Fan Filter Units?
Automated Control Systems apply to all classes of cleanrooms, and all industries would benefit from ACS to maintain a precisely controlled environment. While Automated Control Systems aren’t considered a standard included feature, they are highly recommended on any cleanroom HVAC system with 20 or more HEPA units. ACS can also be used for single cleanroom installation or across multiple rooms, zones, or addresses.
Automated Control Systems have multiple options for cleanroom HVAC, including:
- Available in 115v or 277v 115 volt
- HEPA or ULPA filters
- NCR or RSR style fan filter units
Benefits of Cleanroom HVAC Systems
There are many advantages to installing HVAC Control Systems for your cleanroom. Having an automated HVAC control panel and cleanroom fan filter units (FFUs) works on your behalf, simplifying your precision airflow settings for one cleanroom or multiple while reducing installation and maintenance costs. Some advantages of cleanroom HVAC systems include:
- Precise airflow control due to individual cleanroom fan filter unit control with adjustable equipment layouts to meet unique airflow requirements.
- Lower installation cost with fewer breaker lines and reduced requirements for on-site power distribution.
- Lower maintenance costs with capabilities for small zone shutdowns and junction boxes with integral distribution.
- Soft start capabilities offer significant cost savings with start-up under 0.8 Amps per cleanroom fan filter unit that reduces breaker requirements by as much as 50%.
