High efficiency airborne molecular contaminants removal technology by a new cooled-type 2-stage high-speed air washer method

摘要

We have developed a new cooled-type 2-stage high-speed air washer treating technique to remove the high-concentration airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) in the outside air. This technique was applied in an air-conditioning system to treat the intake air of the clean room. The new air condftioning system can treat the AMC to a sufficiently lower concentration, which does not influence a semiconductor manufacturing process. By a new B-factor analysis, the effectiveness of the 1st-stage of the cooling condensation coil was found out and the chemical ion removal mechanism of the new system was solved. The new system can remove both chemical contaminants of the water-solubility and water-insolubility This new system can construct and operate at the almost same initial and running cost as the conventional air-conditioning system without chemical contaminant countermeasures.
