Abstract

A clean room is adapted to provide a plurality of clean air zones with different degrees of cleanliness. Air is passed through high efficiency particulate air filters in the ceiling of the room and withdrawn through shutters in the floor of the room. The shutters are adjustable to maintain a pressure-balanced system. The room is divided by walls and partitions to define different zones which are filtered by different classes of filters depending on the degree of cleanliness required in each zone.
