The overall service life of the horizontal flow ultra-clean workstation is 5 to 10 years. Core components need to be replaced periodically; proper maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan and ensure cleanliness.
\n1. Service Life (Whole Machine and Core Components)
\n1. Whole Machine Service Life
\nNormal conditions: 5\u20138 years (ordinary laboratories, moderate usage frequency)
\nGood maintenance + clean environment: 8\u201310 years (even longer)
\nHigh load \/ high pollution scenarios: It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive performance assessment every 5 years to determine whether a major repair or replacement is necessary.
\n2. Core Component Replacement Cycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Component<\/td>\nReplacement \/ Maintenance Cycle<\/td>\nChange the basis for judgment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Filtro primario<\/td>\nWeekly cleaning; replace every 3-6 months (for high dust content, replace every 1-3 months)<\/td>\nSevere dust accumulation, high resistance, and decreased wind speed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
High-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA)<\/td>\n2-3 years (regular); 1-2 years (high load)<\/td>\nWind speed < 0.25m\/s, leakage, and non-compliance with cleanliness standards<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ventilador<\/td>\nDesign life of 5 to 8 years<\/td>\nStrange noises, vibrations, and continuous decrease in air volume<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ultraviolet lamp<\/td>\n2000 – 3000 hours (approximately 1 year)<\/td>\nThe brightness has significantly decreased and turned dark.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lighting \/ Circuit<\/td>\nLED lights: 3 – 5 years; Circuit: 5 – 10 years<\/td>\nDoesn’t light up, poor contact, aging<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

II. Full-cycle Maintenance Plan (Daily – Weekly – Monthly – Quarterly – Annual)
\n1. Daily Maintenance (After each use \/ Daily)
\nCleaning and Disinfection: Wipe countertops, inner walls, and glass windows with 75% alcohol; handle spills immediately
\nOperational Specifications: Do not stack items or perform dust-producing operations; Move gently to avoid air turbulence
\nAfter Use: Remove waste \u2192 Clean \u2192 UV lamp irradiation for \u2265 30 minutes (Person away)
\n2. Weekly Maintenance
\nPrimary Filter: Remove and clean the vacuum \/ Wash (nylon washable, paper directly replace), dry and reinstall
\nAppearance Cleaning: Clean the casing and intake grille; Check if the UV lamp is functioning properly
\nFan Inspection: Listen for any abnormal sounds, check if the wind speed is stable
\n3. Monthly Maintenance
\nAir Speed Testing: The air speed at the outlet should be between 0.3 – 0.6 m\/s; If below the lower limit, clean the primary filter first
\nElectrical Inspection: Check for any damage or poor contact in power cords, plugs, and switches
\nAir Flow Test: Observe if the horizontal flow is uniform without turbulence using smoke \/ thread
\n4. Quarterly Maintenance
\nFilter Evaluation: If the wind speed is still insufficient after cleaning the primary filter, check if the high-efficiency filter is clogged
\nSealing Inspection: Check for leaks in the cabinet, window, and filter frame
\nFunction Verification: Check if the lighting, fan speed adjustment, and alarm functions are normal
\n5. Annual Maintenance (Performed by professionals)
\nHigh-Efficiency Filter Leak Detection: Use PAO\/DOP method to detect leakage; Efficiency \u2265 99.97% @ 0.3 \u03bcm
\nCleanliness Verification: Dust particle count, fall bacteria detection
\nFan Inspection: Lubricate bearings, check motor performance, clean air ducts
\nElectrical Safety: Inspect insulation, grounding, and check for aging of wiring
\nIII. Key Points for Longevity Extension
\nPrioritize Filters: Timely replacement of the primary filter can significantly extend the life of the high-efficiency filter and reduce the load on the fan
\nEnvironmental Control: Place the equipment in a clean area, away from dust-producing \/ humid \/ high-temperature sources; Add pre-filter at the intake
\nStandard Operating Procedures: Prohibit open flames, strong corrosive reagents; Do not block air flow channels
\nRecord and Traceability: Establish maintenance records, documenting wind speed, pressure difference, replacement of components, and test results
\nIV. Forced Replacement \/ Scrap Judgment
\nHigh-Efficiency Filter Leakage, Damage, or Failure to Meet Verification Standards for Two Consecutive Times
\nIf the wind speed is consistently below 0.25 m\/s after cleaning the primary filter and replacing it, there is no improvement
\nAbnormal Fan Noise, Severe Vibration, or Failure to Run Stably After Repair
\nCorrosion of the Cabinet, Sealing Failure, and Unable to Repair to Compliance State<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
