Install temperature sensors in each room, corridor and key locations, at least one in each area to ensure comprehensive coverage. Install humidity sensors in each area, especially in crowded areas, at least one in each area to ensure accurate humidity data. Install differential pressure sensors at the inlet and outlet of each FFU to ensure real-time monitoring of the filter status. Install wind speed sensors at the air outlet of each FFU to ensure accurate control of wind speed. Install particle sensors in key areas of the clean room, at least one in each area to ensure air quality monitoring. The central controller is installed in the control center or machine room, connecting all sensors and actuators to ensure the control function of the system center. According to the system scale and requirements, the appropriate PLC module is installed to ensure the flexibility and scalability of the logic control. According to the requirements of the FFU fan, the frequency converter is installed to ensure the precise control of the fan speed. The appropriate electric or pneumatic actuator is installed on the air valve and other control equipment to ensure the precise adjustment of the air flow. Set initial operating parameters in the central controller, including target values for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and particulate matter concentration, configure wireless and wired communication parameters to ensure that all devices can communicate properly, run preliminary tests, check the working status of all sensors, actuators, and control modules to ensure the normal operation of the system; S2: System operation and monitoring. Sensors collect data such as ambient temperature, humidity, pressure difference, wind speed and particle concentration in real time and transmit them to the central controller. The central controller processes the collected data, including filtering, correction and storage, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. According to real-time data, decisions are made through fuzzy logic to dynamically adjust the FFU operating parameters, accurately control the operating speed of the FFU fan, and keep the wind speed and pressure difference within the set range. According to real-time monitoring data and control algorithm results, the air valve position and fan speed are dynamically adjusted to ensure the air quality and circulation in the clean room. The system automatically runs according to the preset control algorithm and real-time data to ensure the best air quality and energy saving effect. Users can manually adjust the operating parameters through the control panel or remote monitoring system. When there are fewer people or no one is around, the system automatically reduces the operating load of the fan and air valve.
