The ACH is the number of total replacements of a room's air in one hour, and the ISO 14644-1:2015 only tells you the result that you must aim for: the maximum concentration limits for particles.įor example, for an ISO Class 7 cleanroom, particles smaller than 0.5 microns (≥0.1 µm, ≥0.2 µm, ≥0.3 µm) are not taken into consideration. The standard ISO 14644-1:2015 does not specify the air changes per hour (ACH) for each cleanroom class because it depends on many factors. However, classification alone isn’t sufficient for calculating the airflow. This means that the HVAC system must be capable of conditioning more than double the air. The amount of air is different in an ISO Class 6 and ISO Class 8 cleanroom. It takes a mix of engineering skills, understanding the particle-generating potential of the process, and experience. In the light of recovery, we perceive the difference between fantasy and reality.Cleanroom HVAC engineering is not an easy thing. Our self-centeredness and the importance of how great things could or should be for us disappears.

Daydreams of how great using was or how we can use successfully in the future, delusions of how great things could be, overblown expectations that set us up for disappointment and relapse-all are stripped of their power by the program. By maintaining our recovery, just for today, we can avoid creating problems in the future.

The wreckage of our past can be dealt with through the steps. We've come to believe that our Higher Power can restore the soundness of our minds and hearts. That's why, in Narcotics Anonymous, we talk about living and recovering "just for today." Fantasies of how wonderful it was-or could be-can divert us from taking action in the real world. Thoughts of how bad it was-or could be-can consume our hopes for recovery.
