FFU Control & Monitoring System
This system has been
designed to monitoring and control fan filter units
(FFUs) to maintain clean-room conditions for
semiconductor production lines or medical operations to
achieve safety, reproducibility, easy to operate and
energy efficiency. This system can be also used in
monitoring environmental varieties like temperature and
humidity, or working status of critical equipments, and
managing or optimizing energy usages together with other
controllers from Shanghai TiGon Intelligence Technology
or third parties.

Overview
Fan Filter Control Unit
(FCU102) is a compact,
TRIAC based fan & motor control designed for applications
like clean room pressurization, ceiling fans, exhaust
ventilators, pumps, duct fans & blowers. Also
it provides a cost effective way to have a intelligent and
networkable system.
Benefits of using FCU102 include acoustical noise reduction,
environmental (pressure or flow) regulation, greater system
reliability, increased fan life, improved safety and energy
savings.
Finanical Benefit
For operation
owners of minienvironments within large cleanrooms or small
installations (100 FFUs or less) which dominate the market
need (over 90% of all installations),
whatever if they want centralized control at a reasonable
cost, or require frequent adjustment of flow rates, or just
for energy conservation sakes, it would be a wise choice to
consider FCU102. The savings in set up time, callibration
efforts and electricity consumption will offset most of cost
of this system over manual control with signficantly quieter
performance.
Usually the investment would be returned in only 3 to 6
months!
Ease of Installation/Balancing
For small AC systems, a
customer can save 50% of the installation and balancing time
to hook up. At rates of $75 to $100 per hour for
installation and balancing cost, the savings can be
significant.
Electricity Saving & Set-Back
Results
Consider a cost analysis of an
AC system using 2 x 4 ft. FFUs typically running 250 watts
at full speed. A small cleanroom was operated typically 10
hours per day, 5 days per week. A setback to 110 watts (500
RPM from 1100 RPM) was requested. Calculating the savings at
a cost of $0.22 per kwh, system savings exceed $150/year.
Without any other savings, the payback for controller was
approximately ONE month. A good
rule of thumb is for every 50 watts of power one can
set-back and save, one can reduce electric consumption by
more than $50.00 per year ($1/year/watt saved upon
set-back).
When one includes lower
installation and balancing costs, ease of reducing full
speed flow to optimize the cleanroom application, and the
cost saving on the filter media by extending its useful
life, it is estimated that a payback of less than 3 months
is realistic. Along with the lower fan noise and the
flexibility to adjust and reconfigure cleanroom space, the
system is now very cost effective.
System
System components include:
-
Ethernet to RS485
Serial
Server (Model: 32104 / 32108)
- Supports up to 30 individual FFCUs (60 units FFUs) each
port, and total 120/240 individual FFCUs (240/480 units
FFUs) for a subnet with 32104/32108. Only one Serial Server
would be good for typical
. For large installations, applying with 32 units 32108
Serial Servers, the total FFU capability would be 32*8*30*2=15,360
units
-
Handheld Terminal
(Model: HC7001) - Provides great conveniences to operators,
maintain technicans and managements monior or configure
system or individual FFU anytime or anywhere. Mobile
applications, diverse platforms available - iPhone 4S,
iPad2, Blackberry, HP PDA, etc.
