Hospital Operation Theater Laminar Air Flow

This is described as an entire body of air within a designated space (theatre suite) moving with uniform velocity in a single direction along parallel flow linesA laminar flow operating theatre provides a work area with aseptic/sterile conditions. The air is completely and uniformly supplied through HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to maintain cleanliness standards. Any bacteria, viruses, or dust particles are extracted directly before the air enters the area.The purpose of laminar flow is to provide clean air while displacing particulate from a zone. It is important that there is little to no entrainment of room air and particulate so that the conditioned zone is kept cleanIn laminar flow, the motion of the particles of the fluid is very orderly with all particles moving in straight lines parallel to the pipe walls.There are two different types of laminar flow cabinets, which is determined by their directional airflow properties: Vertical laminar airflow hoods and horizontal laminar airflow hoods. Laminar hoods are currently used over a range of industries from medical research to electronics.
