Abstract

A clean room system is provided. The clean room includes a plurality of multi-level clean rooms and an air passage. The plurality of multi-level clean rooms has at least a lower clean room and an upper clean room above the lower clean room. The air passage permits air flow between the upper clean room and the lower clean room and smooths the air flow.

Claims (48)

1. A clean room system, comprising:

a plurality of multi-level clean rooms having at least a lower clean room and an upper clean room disposed above the lower clean room, each clean room including a working space; and

an air passage disposed to permit air flow between the upper clean room and the lower clean room and smoothing the air flow.

2. The clean room system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a fan filter unit disposed at the ceiling of the lower clean room to facilitate the air to flow from the upper clean room to the lower clean room to generate a substantially vertical air stream; and

a bottom plate having a plurality of through holes.

3. The clean room system according to claim 2 , wherein the fan filter unit includes:

a fan rotated to draw in air from the upper clean room; and

a filter to filter particles from the air flowing through the fan filter unit.

4. The clean room system according to claim 1 , wherein the air passage includes:

a lower space provided at a lower portion of the upper clean room;

an upper space provided at an upper portion of the lower clean room; and

a dry coil provided between the lower space and the upper space and at an interlayer boundary plate discriminating levels.

5. The clean room system according to claim 4 , wherein at least two dry coils are provided.

6. The clean room system according to claim 4 , wherein the dry coils are disposed at regular intervals.

7. The clean room system according to claim 4 , wherein the dry coil controls temperature and humidity of the air flowing between the upper and lower clean rooms.

8. The clean room system according to claim 1 , wherein the air passage includes:

a lower space provided at a lower portion of the upper clean room;

an upper space provided at an upper portion of the lower clean room; and

a plurality of holes provide between the lower space and the upper space and at an interlayer boundary plate discriminating levels.

9. The clean room system according to claim 1 , further comprising a connection pipe for moving the air discharged from a lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms to a upper space of an uppermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

10. The clean room system according to claim 1 , further comprising an exhaust pipe to externally discharge an air stream from the lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

11. A clean room system, comprising:

a plurality of multi-level clean rooms having at least a lower clean room and an upper clean room disposed above the lower clean room, each clean room having a working space, an upper space and a lower space at upper and lower portions thereof;

at least one interlayer boundary plate formed between the lower space of the upper clean room and an upper space of the lower clean room; and

a plurality of dry coils formed substantially at the interlayer boundary plate and to provide a passage through which air can flow from the lower space of the upper level clean room to the upper space of the lower level clean room.

12. The clean room system according to claim 11 , further comprising a fan filter unit disposed substantially at the ceiling of the working space of the lower clean room to facilitate air to flow from the upper clean room to the lower clean room.

13. The clean room system according to claim 12 , wherein the fan filter unit includes:

a fan rotated to draw in air from the upper clean room; and

a filter to filter particles from air flowing through the fan filter unit.

14. The clean room system according to claim 11 , further comprising a connection pipe for moving the air discharged from a lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms to a upper space of an uppermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

15. The clean room system according to claim 11 , further comprising an exhaust pipe to externally discharge an air stream from the lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

16. The clean room system according to claim 11 , wherein each dry coil controls a temperature and a humidity of the air stream.

17. A clean room system, comprising:

a lower clean room of multi-level clean rooms, the lower clean room having upper and lower spaces respectively above and below a working space of the lower clean room;

an upper clean room of multi-level clean rooms disposed above the lower clean room, the upper clean room having upper and lower spaces respectively above and below a working space of the upper clean room;

an interlayer boundary plate disposed between the lower space of the upper clean room and an upper space of the lower level clean room; and

a plurality of holes formed at the interlayer boundary plate to provide a passage through which air can flow from the lower pace of the upper level clean room to the upper space of the lower level clean room.

18. The clean room system according to claim 17 , further comprising a fan filter unit disposed substantially at the ceiling of the working space of the lower clean room to facilitate air to flow from the upper clean room to the lower clean room and to filter particles from the air flowing from the upper clean room to the lower clean room.

19. The clean room system according to claim 18 , wherein a plurality of fan filter units are disposed substantially at the ceiling of the working space of the lower clean room.

20. The clean room system according to claim 17 , further comprising a connection pipe for moving the air discharged from a lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean room to a upper space of an uppermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

21. The clean room system according to claim 17 , further comprising an exhaust pipe to externally discharge an air stream from the lower space of a lowermost one of the plurality of multi-level clean rooms.

22. The clean room system according to claim 1 , wherein each clean room further includes an upper space disposed above the respective working space and a lower space disposed below the respective working space.

23. The clean room system according to claim 22 , wherein each clean room further includes a floor structure disposed separating the lower space and the working space, and a ceiling structure disposed separating the working space and the upper space.

24. The clean room system according to claim 1 , wherein each clean room further includes a lower space disposed below the respective working space.

25. The clean room system according to claim 24 , wherein each clean room further includes bottom plate disposed separating the lower space and the working space.

26. The clean room system according to claim 1 , wherein each clean room further includes an upper space disposed above the respective working space.

27. The clean room system according to claim 25 , wherein each clean room further includes a fan filter unit disposed separating the working space and the upper space.
