A lot of aspects are not taken into consideration for the calculation including but not limited to heat gain number of people the use of a fume hood etc.
Clean room hvac design calculations.
Design of the ventilation system shall provide air movement which is generally from clean to less clean areas.
During this technical presentation ashrae fellow and distinguished lecturer wei sun discusses the following.
The bigger the room the more air you need.
If any form of variable air volume or load shedding system is used for energy conservation it must not compromise the corridor to room pressure balancing relationships or the minimum air changes required by the table.
The volume of air in the cleanroom will influence the amount of airflow needed.
The air change rate method of calculation is commonly used in cleanrooms with lower cleanliness requirements usually iso 6 to 9 with the air change rate largely based on the level of particles generated by people and processes.
They should be computed by an hvac cleanroom expert as many aspects must be taken into consideration such as the size of the room the number of people in the room the equipment in the room the processes involved the heat gain etc.
The width length and height of the classified rooms and their layout must be used for hvac calculations.
If the supply of the air by hvac system in one hour is equal to the volume of the room then it will be one air change per hour.
This is achieved by supplying more air to the room than is extracted from it.

The bigger the room the more air you need.
Fda recommends maintaining the minimum 20 air changes per hour for clean rooms.
Supplying airflow in sufficient volume and cleanliness to support the cleanliness rating of the room.
Cleanrooms and hvac systems design fundament.
The width length and height of the classified rooms and their layout must be used for hvac calculations.
People often forget that the height of the room directly impacts the airflow.
Rooms having 60 air changes per hour will have 60 times air supply then the volume of the room.
Calculations should be computed by a cleanroom hvac specialist.
The hvac system requirements include.
