Before replacement (must be done first)<br \/>\nConfirm that it is a HEPA filter<br \/>\nFor horizontal flow workbench: The HEPA filter is located at the rear air supply position, not at the return air inlet.<br \/>\nIt cannot be washed or tapped. It is a one-time consumable.<br \/>\nReplacement signal (any one of the following conditions is sufficient)<br \/>\nThe pressure difference reading significantly increases, exceeding the normal value by more than 30%<br \/>\nThe wind speed significantly decreases and the cleanliness does not meet the standard<br \/>\nIt has been in use for 6-12 months (frequent use)<br \/>\nThe filter is deformed, leaking, or the rubber strip is aging<br \/>\nPreparation items<br \/>\nSame model new HEPA filter (with certificate of conformity)<br \/>\nCross-head screwdriver<br \/>\nDust-free cloth + 75% alcohol<br \/>\nDust-free gloves, mask, clean suit<br \/>\nSeal bag (for old filter)<br \/>\nSafety prerequisite<br \/>\nMust be powered off! Unplug the plug!<br \/>\nThe operation room should be quiet, with few people, no wind, and less dust.<br \/>\n2. Formal replacement steps (no omission)<br \/>\n1. Clean the exterior of the workbench and the inspection door<br \/>\nUse a dust-free cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe:<br \/>\nThe rear of the workbench, the inspection door, and the surrounding shell.<br \/>\nPurpose: To prevent dust from falling in when opening the door.<br \/>\n2. Open the inspection door of the HEPA filter<br \/>\nThe HEPA filter is generally located at the back of the workbench<br \/>\nUse a screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screws of the inspection door<br \/>\nThe screws should be placed on the dust-free cloth and not dropped or landed on the ground<br \/>\nGently remove the inspection door and place it flat on the dust-free cloth<br \/>\n3. Remove the old HEPA filter (the most critical step)<br \/>\nThe movement must be slow, gentle, and without shaking!<br \/>\nLoosen the pressure strip \/ latch \/ fixing piece of the filter<br \/>\nHold the filter frame with both hands and slowly pull out horizontally<br \/>\nStrictly prohibited:<br \/>\nShaking Flip<br \/>\nCollision \/ Accident<br \/>\nTouch the filter paper with your hands<br \/>\nAfter taking it out, immediately put it into a double-layer sealed bag and tie the opening tightly<br \/>\nTo prevent secondary pollution of the environment by dust accumulation.<br \/>\n4. Deep cleaning of the installation slot and the sealing rubber strip<br \/>\nThis step directly determines whether the cleanliness can meet the standards.<br \/>\nWipe with a dust-free cloth + 75% alcohol:<br \/>\nThe four sides of the installation slot frame<br \/>\nThe entire sealing rubber strip<br \/>\nThe inner side of the duct (lightly wipe, do not dig deeply)<br \/>\nKey checks:<br \/>\nWhether the rubber strip is aging, cracking, missing pieces, or falling off<br \/>\nIf there are problems, the rubber strip must be replaced first<br \/>\n5. Install the new high-efficiency filter<br \/>\nOpen the packaging of the new filter, do not touch the filter paper<br \/>\nCheck the arrow direction on the filter:<br \/>\n\u2192 The arrow must be consistent with the air flow direction (blow forward)<br \/>\nHold the frame with both hands, push it smoothly into the installation slot<br \/>\nEnsure:<br \/>\nThe four sides are completely sealed<br \/>\nThe rubber strip is not distorted, has no gaps, and does not leak air<br \/>\nFasten the pressure strip \/ latch, and fix evenly<br \/>\nDo not tighten too much to cause the frame to deform<br \/>\n6. Put the maintenance door back in place<br \/>\nPut the maintenance door back to its original position<br \/>\nScrew the screws diagonally (to ensure sealing)<br \/>\nWipe the external dust again<br \/>\nIII. After replacement, necessary debugging and verification must be done<br \/>\n1. Start the machine for empty blowing<br \/>\nPower on \u2192 Turn on the fan<br \/>\nOpen the glass door to the standard operating height (10-15cm)<br \/>\nRun empty for 30-40 minutes<br \/>\nBlow away the particles brought in during installation.<br \/>\n2. Wind speed check (passing standard)<br \/>\nNormal wind speed of the horizontal flow workbench: 0.3-0.5 m\/s at each point is uniform, with no obvious difference in strength.<br \/>\n3. Cleanliness verification (important)<br \/>\nUse an air particle counter to detect:<br \/>\n0.5\u03bcm particles \u2264 3520 particles \/ m\u00b3<br \/>\n5\u03bcm particles \u2264 20 particles \/ m\u00b3<br \/>\nIf it meets the requirements, it is considered as **Class 100 (ISO 5)** qualified.<br \/>\n4. Pressure difference check<br \/>\nThe pressure difference meter should return to the normal range and no longer be high.<br \/>\nIV. Record and archive (compliance must be met)<br \/>\nEach replacement must be recorded:<br \/>\nReplacement date<br \/>\nFilter model, number<br \/>\nBefore replacement phenomenon (pressure difference \/ wind speed)<br \/>\nAfter replacement wind speed, pressure difference, cleanliness results<br \/>\nOperator<br \/>\nV. Absolutely prohibited actions (red line)<br \/>\nDo not disassemble the high-efficiency filter while powered on<br \/>\nOld filters cannot be shaken, knocked, or left empty<br \/>\nFilter paper cannot be touched, wiped, or washed<br \/>\nArrow direction cannot be installed in reverse<br \/>\nSealing rubber strip cannot be faked with tape<br \/>\nAfter replacement, do not use directly without verification<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will prepare for you a detailed, step-by-step standard procedure specifically about the replacement of the horizontal flow ultra-clean workbench and the HEPA filter.
