General
Design of HVAC is dependent on required degree of air cleanliness
Suitable components should be selected including:– fans, – driers, – filters,– ducts, grilles, etc.

Consider different air types, e.g.:
Supply air
Return air (recirculated air)
Fresh air (make-up air)
Exhaust air

Recirculation systems
There should be no risk of contamination and cross-contamination when air is recirculated
Normally, HEPA filters (EN1822 H13) needed in supply air stream
– Not required in single product facility with no risk of cross-contamination– Not required where no dust generation (e.g. secondary packaging)
HEPA filters placed in AHU or terminally
Dust from highly toxic processes should not be recirculated7.2.1 – 7.2.6

Full fresh-air systems
100% fresh air - normally where toxic products are processed, and recirculation not recommended
No contamination from fresh air – sufficient filtration needed
Degree of filtration on exhaust dependent on exhaust air contaminants and environment regulations
Energy-recovery wheels– Should not be source of contamination– Relative pressure between supply and exhaust air
