1. What is a side-intake high-efficiency air supply outlet?

The side air inlet high-efficiency air supply port refers to in which the air inlet interface is set on the side of the box .a high-efficiency air supply port structure

The air enters the air supply port from the side duct, then passes through the internal static pressure box and HEPA/ULPA filter, and finally enters the clean room through the diffuser device.

Typical air paths are:

Air conditioning box/air treatment equipment → Air duct → Side air inlet interface → Static pressure box → HEPA/ULPA filter → Clean room

The biggest structural difference between it and the top-inlet high-efficiency air supply vent is that the air duct connection direction is different.

2. What projects are suitable for side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents?

Side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents are usually suitable for projects where the air duct needs to be connected from the side of the air supply vent, or where the top space is not convenient for direct connection of the air duct .

Common applications include:

The judgment here focuses on on-site installation conditions , rather than simply selecting based on industry names.

3. What are the structural features of the side-intake high-efficiency air supply vent?

The side air inlet structure is mainly connected to the air duct through the interface on the side of the box.

Common components include:

The basic air flow is:

Side air duct → Side air inlet interface → Static plenum → High efficiency filter → Diffusion panel → Clean room

4. Under what circumstances is it suitable to use side air intake?

The side air intake structure can be considered in the following situations.

1. The air ducts need to be connected horizontally

If the air duct passes by the side of the air supply outlet, you can use the side interface to connect it.

2. The space above the suspended ceiling is limited

Side-intake can be a structural option when headspace is limited by beams, piping, or other equipment.

3. The on-site air duct has been determined

For renovation projects, if the direction of the original air duct has been determined and the air duct cannot be easily accessed from the top, side air inlet can be selected based on site conditions.

4. Various pipelines are concentrated in the suspended ceiling area

When there are multiple systems such as fire protection, lighting, and process pipelines above the suspended ceiling, the air inlet direction can be selected based on the on-site space.

It should be noted that side air inlet does not mean that the air duct resistance and airflow organization can be ignored. System design and verification are still required in the end.

5. Are side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents suitable for clean room renovation projects?

It can be considered based on specific site conditions.

Compared with new construction projects, clean room renovation projects are usually affected by the following:

• air duct

• Liang

• suspended ceiling

• pipeline

• equipment

• Inspection space

and other conditions.

If the original air duct is more convenient to access from the side, the side air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet can be used as an end structure option.

Typical transformation ideas are:

Original air duct → On-site interface confirmation → Side air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet → HEPA/ULPA → Clean room

However, whether it can be directly replaced requires measuring the on-site dimensions and confirming the air volume, static pressure and filter specifications of the original system.

6. What is the difference between side air inlet and top air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlets?

Both structures can be used for air supply at the end of the clean room. The main difference is the location of the air inlet interface.

The selection method can be simply understood as:

Where does the air duct come from → The air supply outlet is selected according to the on-site conditions to correspond to the air inlet direction.

7. Will the side-intake high-efficiency air supply outlet affect the air supply effect?

The air supply effect cannot be judged based only on the three words 'side air intake'.

Actual terminal air conditions depend on several factors, including:

• Design air volume

• Duct resistance

• Static pressure box structure

• filter resistance

• Filter installation

• diffuser

• Air outlet layout

• Return air method

• Overall airflow organization

Therefore, the side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents need to be selected and matched to the system according to the designed air volume.

Its basic design logic is:

Design air volume → Air duct system → Side air inlet interface → Static pressure box → Filter → Air supply surface → Clean room

8. How much installation space is required for the side-intake high-efficiency air supply vent?

There is no fixed size of installation space that applies to all products.

Need to be based on:

Cabinet size + side interface size + duct size + filter size + maintenance space

Make sure.

Especially in clean rooms with tight ceiling spaces, measurements should be made in advance:

• Ceiling height

• Duct height

• Duct width

• side distance

• Beam and column position

• Other pipelines

• Filter maintenance space

This can reduce structural conflicts during later installation.

9. How to choose HEPA filter for side air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet?

There is no direct correspondence between the side air inlet structure and the filter grade.

Filters should be selected based on clean room design requirements.

Common configurations include:

• HEPA

• ULPA

When choosing, you need to consider comprehensively:

Cleanliness level → Filtration efficiency → Design air volume → Filter size → Filter resistance → Filter maintenance

If the filter model has been determined, the air supply box, filter installation structure and sealing method need to match it.

10. How to determine the air volume of the side air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet?

Side air inlet is the same as top air inlet. The design air volume of a single air outlet needs to be determined based on the overall design of the clean room.

For example:

The total designed air supply volume of the clean room is 6000m³/h.

If the design air volume of a single side-inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet is 500m³/h:

6000 ÷ 500 = 12

This is a theoretical quantity.

In practice, it is also necessary to combine:

• Air outlet position

• Ceiling size

• Device location

• Return air position

• airflow organization

• filter resistance

• Duct system resistance

Make adjustments.

11. What parameters are required for selecting a high-efficiency side air inlet air supply outlet?

It is recommended to organize the following parameters when purchasing projects:

12. Are side-inlet high-efficiency air supply vents suitable for low-ceiling projects?

It can be judged based on the actual structure.

If the top space is not enough to facilitate the arrangement of top air ducts and interfaces, and there is available air duct installation space on the side, a side air inlet structure can be considered.

But please note:

Low ceiling ≠ must use side air intake

Ultimately it is still necessary to measure the on-site space and compare the installation conditions of different air inlet structures.

13. Which clean air treatment systems are suitable for side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents?

Side air intakeHigh-efficiency air supply vents can be used in centralized duct air supply systems.

A typical system is:

Air treatment equipment → Main air duct → Branch air duct → Side air inlet high-efficiency air supply outlet → HEPA/ULPA → Clean room

If the project adopts a modular air treatment method, equipment such as FFU and EFU can be considered according to the specific area.

Therefore, when selecting equipment, you first need to clarify which air treatment method is used in the clean room.

14. How to support the project of Aili industrial side air inlet high-efficiency air supply vent?

Aili Industrial can match the structure and specifications of the side-intake high-efficiency air supply vents based on the site conditions of the clean room project.

Key points to confirm:

Air duct position → Side interface → Design air volume → HEPA/ULPA filter → Box size → Ceiling size → Maintenance space

If the project is a clean room renovation, the air inlet method can also be determined based on the original air ducts, ceilings and equipment locations on site.

Aili Industry itself has the manufacturing capabilities of sheet metal, filters, fans, motors and control systems, and also provides high-efficiency filters, FFU, EFU and other clean air treatment equipment.

For different clean areas, product combinations can be made based on the actual needs of centralized air supply, modular air supply and equipment-side air supply.
