Clean room air handling unit ISOSEP

Isosep systems (membrane technology) are appropriate for use in small spaces and can also be connected inside the area to be protected. However, they have higher energy consumption, but the ratio of consumption/supply of oxygen-reduced air and environment to be protected justifies their application. How the Isosep system works While Nimos nitrogen generators and ADOX® oxygen adsorbers use molecular sieves to create a self-extinguishing atmosphere, Isosep generators use a high-pressure air compressor to drive the compressed air through the hollow-fibre membranes. This makes it possible to capture and expel the oxygen molecules, allowing the nitrogen molecules to pass through, as shown in the following illustration. The Isosep generators have been designed to protect small environments. Because of their ergonomic design, they can be easily installed inside the area to protect, optimising the use of space. Comparison of technologies The graphic showing the work performed by the three technologies illustrates their different methods for separation of oxygen molecules from nitrogen molecules. Each of these technologies is suitable for specific uses. It is clear that a significant saving in energy costs, obtained through the use of the right technology, can bring major benefits for the overall economy of the system. Among the various alternatives, it is therefore important to choose the option that will provide the greatest benefit over time.
