Compact High-Efficiency Air Handling Unit

Project Description

Centrifugal Fans have been at the forefront of Cleanroom Technology and have been the industry standard for a long time. Professor Sarimurat and Professor Dang have designed a new Axial Fan to be utilized in a Microchip Manufacturing Plant (Class 1000) which uses less energy. Our job is to develop a Fan Filter Unit (FFU) which can house the designed fan and to test the design and make sure it holds up.

Deliverables

  • A design of a FFU to be constructed over Winter Break within which the fan would be fixed​
  • Fixtures to keep the fan locked in the FFU​
  • More simulation and analysis to ensure proper function of fan​
  • Performance testing to prove axial fan consuming less energy​
  • Design must be compatible with a HEPA filter
