[0002] Wuhan National
Biosafety Laboratory is the first high-level biosafety (Level 4) laboratory in my country. The high-level biosafety laboratory is a special laboratory for research on the prevention and control of severe pathogens. The core area of the laboratory has strict negative pressure requirements and directional airflow Control is an important technical measure to ensure
biological safety. Personnel entering and leaving the laboratory need to be disinfected and sterilized by spraying chemical liquid in the chemical shower room. The space in the chemical shower room is small, and the complex airflow interference conditions in the chemical shower room and related multiple influencing factors make Negative pressure regulation in chemical showers faces serious challenges
[0003] Previously, in my country's P3 laboratory,
biological safety cabinets, fume hoods and
animal cage ventilation control have encountered similar control problems, but the interference factors are relatively single, and the occurrence space is relatively large. Through simple prediction or The
feedback control of the operation
signal of the equipment can basically solve the problem. At present, the Venturi valve is generally used for
feedback control.
[0004] In view of the multiple and complex interference factors, the relatively high requirements for negative
pressure control, the small space of the negative
pressure control room, and the high requirements for
system airtightness, the negative pressure control of chemical showers in high-level biosafety laboratories is somewhat challenging.
[0005] The existing problem is: when the chemical shower is isolated from the
positive pressure changing room and the biosafety laboratory, negative pressure must be maintained, and the negative pressure gradient between the biosafety laboratory, the chemical shower, and the
positive pressure changing room is -90pa , -75pa, -50pa, 0pa; the biosafety laboratory is a place used for severe
virus or bacterial experiments. When entering the biosafety laboratory from the chemical shower or entering the chemical shower from the biosafety laboratory, the staff must pay attention to the chemical Clean and disinfect the shower room with
chemical agents. When disinfecting the chemical shower room, spray
compressed air at 30L / min and spray liquid
medicine at 15L / min. In order to maintain the
relative pressure in the chemical shower room, it is necessary to increase the opening value of the
exhaust valve and improve the pumping rate. Gas volume; when entering the chemical shower room, the personnel need to supply air for the protective clothing to breathe, and the
gas supply in the chemical shower room should be increased by 60m 3 / h*3 people breathe gas, in order to maintain the
relative pressure of the chemical shower room, it is necessary to increase the opening value of the
exhaust valve and increase the pumping volume; when the isolation between the biosafety laboratory, the chemical shower room and the
positive pressure changing room When the door is opened and then closed, the
pressure difference between the chemical shower room and the positive pressure changing room decreases first, and the opening of the regulating valve decreases, and then maintains a greater negative pressure to recover quickly, which is prone to positive pressure, or biosafety experiments. Compared with the chemical shower room, the
pressure difference decreases first, the speed of the large exhaust fan increases, and the opening of the pressure regulating valve in the chemical shower room decreases. After being isolated from the biosafety laboratory, it is difficult to open the large pressure regulating valve immediately.
Positive pressure is easily generated in the locker room instantly, resulting in the failure of biosafety isolation
