CONFIGURATION 1
CONFIGURATION 2
CONFIGURATION 3
This is a self contained system that is based
on recirculation of air within the booth, with
a percentage of air exhausted through a
HEPA filter back to the ambient space, with
make-up air drawn into the front at the floor
level (either underneath a curtain or through
grilles when optional doors are selected).
This configuration is the standard ContainAire
Design with the exception of the exhaust. In
this design, the exhaust can be ducted to
house exhaust or to an optional dedicated
exhaust system, in lieu of exhausting to the
ambient space.
This design allows for positive pressure
cascading with the emphasis on product
protection. Minimum containment is
maintained within the critical work zone
with filtered return.

Technical Data
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Some common sizes include:
Vertical Downflow Plenum:
AES Model #
AES standard ContainAire features type 304 steel construction.
The plenum ceiling is constructed using inward turned folded flanges,
fastened on the inside to create an airtight seam and a smooth exterior.
The lower plenum consists of a filter board, sealed and bolted to the
upper plenum, and skirt attached to the filter board with weld studs
sealed on the exterior.
Motor / Blower Assembly:
• Backward curved impeller blower, 460V, 3-phase, located in the plenum
ceiling module.
HEPA Filtration:
Four levels of filtration include:
• 99.99% efficient, gel seal HEPA located in the vertical downflow plenum
ceiling for supply air. Filter is accessible from roomside for servicing.
• 99.99% efficient, gel seal HEPA filter located in the top front of the vertical
downflow plenum ceiling for air exhausted to ambient space.
• 30% disposable pre-filters located in the rear return air wall in front of the
return filters.
• 95% efficient, high-capacity V-cell HEPA filters is located in the rear return
air wall.
Lighting:
• Flush mounted or corner lighting, 120V or 277V, provides average 70-90
footcandles at work plane.
Support Frame:
• Self-supporting type 304 stainless steel tubular steel framing.
• Unit is designed to sit on existing or new cleanroom floor.
