What is the cycle time for an air shower?

The cycle time for an air shower varies based on the specific needs and requirements of the facility. Generally, it is around 15-20 seconds.

During the cycle, the air shower emits a high-velocity, filtered air flow to effectively eliminate contaminants from individuals or equipment entering cleanrooms or other controlled environments. The air shower typically consists of walls with nozzles that release the filtered air in a precise pattern. The high velocity of the air ensures that any loose particles, dust, or other contaminants are effectively removed from the person or equipment.

People or equipment entering the air shower should stand inside the chamber and close the door. Once the cycle starts, the air jets release a powerful and controlled stream of air. The air travels at a high velocity, effectively removing particles and contaminants from all sides. The air shower is designed to ensure thorough cleaning from head to toe.

After the cycle time is complete, the air shower stops and the individual or equipment can exit the chamber. It is essential to follow proper cleanroom protocols and ensure that the air shower is regularly maintained and serviced to maintain its effectiveness in removing contaminants.
