Air Pressure Control Valves and Air Pressure Stabilisers

Protecting individual doors

The protection mechanism for individual doors is examined below based upon the assumption that only one door is open at any time. Within the overall supply volumes available it is not possible to provide protection for more than one open door at a time.

Lay-up Prep - Corridor door open

Single door - Required flow 0.39 m3/s. (Sterile) - (Transitional)

A Lay-up Prep has a supply of 0.34 m3/s which due to the room pressure falling to 3 Pa is now directed across the open doorway and is augmented by the inward door leakage from the Theatre of 0.06 m3/s across a single door @ 22 Pa differential and thus the volume is achieved.
