EXHAUST CONNECTIONSFOR CLASS II, TYPE A2 BSC’S • Canopy / Thimble is strongly recommended • Low Exhaust Alarm • Use of flex duct for adjustability • Exhaust volume equals BSC exhaust volume plus air gap volume at 0.3” w.g. • Provide adequate make up air
EXHAUST CONNECTIONSFOR CLASS II, TYPE B1/B2 BSC’S • Direct hard connection is required • Provide gas-tight exhaust damper for decontamination process • Evaluate connection restrictions based on BSC requirements (i.e. exhaust sensor type used) • Provide adequate make-up air for laboratory pressure requirements • Use Concurrent Balance Value from manufacturer to design and balance BSC
CBV DEFINITION Concurrent Balance Value (CBV) is determined by a duct traverse measurement method as specified in ASHRAE Standard 111 – 2008, a minimum of 7.5 duct diameters downstream of a direct connected BSC at its nominal setpoint calibrated using the primary DIM method. The static pressure is measured approximately 2 duct diameters above the BSC. Appropriate filter load and tolerance values are added to accommodate filter loading. The resulting values may be used for design and balance exhaust/supply HVAC Requirements.
BREIF HISTORY • Since the use of the DIM in the early 90’s, differences in measurement results have been noted between duct traverse and BSC face measurement methods • ASHRAE Study Results (1212 – RP) • BSC face measurement is consistent and repeatable • Lack of correlation between methods makes BSC face measurement method suspect for mechanical system design and air balancers • NSF 49 Joint Committee • Reviewed ASHRAE study results and voted to incorporate the CBV into the listing
BSC FACILITY ASSESSMENT • Ceiling Height / Door Width and Height -must accommodate the needs of the user within the constraints of the facility • Personnel movements / Door movements / pass-thru’s / and flow patterns in the facility must be analyzed • Design criteria; BSL 1, 2, 3 or 4 • HVAC - Facility air handling system
FACILITY DESIGN • Location • Isolate the BSC • Reduce traffic flow • Diffuse room air • Move away from airflow ducts • Move away from windows and doors
FACILITY DESIGN • HVAC • BSC’s if exhausted require a constant volume (+/- 5%) • Laboratory balance positive or negative • Laboratory ventilation rates • Class II, Type B cabinets should never be the dedicated exhaust for the Lab. • Spatial and temporal uniform distribution of room air • Review system dynamics, personnel movement, door movement, pass-thrus, etc. • National, Local Code Conformity
PROCESS ASSESSMENT • Process Plan Analysis • Applicable Automation • Applicable facility SOP’s • cGMP Requirement
