Clean Cold-Warm Rooms (FAS)
Designed for the cold and warm extremes typically found in today’s bio-pharmaceutical operations, our HEPA-filtered FAS Series can maintain temperatures from -20C to +40C.
The chambers offer close tolerance temperature and humidity uniformity, as well as an assurance of a certified cleanroom environment with minimum airborne particulates and microorganisms.
The result is consistently optimum cleamroom environments with precise control capabilities.

Standard Features
- Clean room design standards from Class 100 to 100,000 available.
- Modular metal skinned panels with urethane insulated tongue and groove construction for chamber enclosure. All interior panel surfaces are a smooth nonshedding painted aluminum, galvanized steel, or stainless steel (recommended).
- "Cam-locking" clean room panel seams sealed with FDA approved sealants for a smooth cleanable surface.
- Internal stainless ceiling plenum housing mounted above lay-in tiles.
- Totally accessible hinged drain pan for maintenance and cleaning of all interior plenum components.
- PSC fan motors for energy efficiency. All fan motors rated for operating temperatures of chamber. Motors are remoted from chamber interior where application exceeds rating.
- Automatic defrosting with refrigerant hot gas and/or electric heat for quick and efficient operation.
- Uniform horizontal and vertical air distribution through ducted terminal lay-in HEPA filters in aluminum housings or complete pressurized plenum ceiling. Support achieved with anodized aluminum T-bar drop ceiling network. All solid "filler" clean room tiles constructed of nonshedding acoustical material.
