Abstract
A clean space having a desired total volume is formed by coupling unit room bodies in sequence. Alterations in the configuration of clarifying and air-conditioning facilities are carried out easily and quickly, even if the structure and disposition of the clean space are altered. Each of the unit room bodies includes an air-circulator such as a fan unit and a dust catcher such as an air-filter. Each of the unit room bodies also includes an air conditioner-setting space shut off from the clean space in the interior of the unit room body.
Claims7
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising:
- wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed;
- a first partition means within the enclosure defining an air conditioner setting space therein;
- a second partition means within the enclosure defining a clean space portion therein that is shut off from said air conditioner-setting space;
- an air circulator;
- and
- a dust catcher,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of bodies further comprises an air conditioner set in the respective air conditioner-setting space of the one body.
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising:
- wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed,
- removeable partition means mounted to the wall means within the enclosure to define an air conditioner setting space and a clean space portion that is isolated from the air conditioner-setting space when the partition means is attached to the wall means, the air conditioner-setting space being joined with the clean space portion when the partition means is removed from the wall means,
- an air circulator, and
- a dust catcher;
- wherein a first one of the plurality of bodies includes an air-conditioner set in the air conditioner-setting space of the first body,
- the partition means of a second one of the plurality of bodies is removed to join the respective air conditioner-setting space and clean space portion of the second body, and
- the first body is coupled with a second one of the plurality of bodies, so that conditioned air from the first body is provided to the clean space portion in the first body and the clean space portion in the second body.
