Equipment Qualifications

Qualifications




Equipment is the one of the basic components of every company.Before selecting any machine company needs to cover below points.

1) User requirements Sheet
2) Design Qualifications
3) Installation Qualifications
4) Operational Qualifications
5) Performance Qualifications

1)User Requirement Sheet - Customer of the equipment has a certain expectations about the equipment which he wants to use.Some of the general requirements may be stated in the form of certain parameters like.

-Size of equipment

-Speed of equipment

-Effectiveness of equipment

-Availability of spares

-Ease of operation,maintenance,cleaning

-Low dust and sound generation

-Lesser breakdowns

-Easy Changeovers


2) Design Qualifications:- If the equipment is to be fabricated as per user requirements

then it is very essential to design detailed Qualification document.It is advisable to work out the detailed equipment specifications by sitting together with the manufacturer.Once this is ready it is agreeable to purchaser and manufacturer.

DQ is a should provide documented evidence that the design specifications were meet.


3) Installation Qualifications:-IQ should provide the documented evidence that the installation complete and satisfactory.The purchase specifications,drawings ,manuals,

Spare part lists and vender details should be verified during IQ.Control and measuring devices should be calibrated.


4) Operational Qualifications:- It may be defined as,"Documented evidence that the system or subsystem performs as intended throughout all specified operating range."The equipment operated only when it passes the OQ test.

OQ should provide the documented evidence that the utilities,system,or equipment and all its components operate according to its operational specifications.


5) Performance Qualifications:- PQ should provide the documented evidence that the utilities, system and a equipment and all its components consistently perform as per specifications under routine use.

PQ considered by many as synonymous with OQ. OQ is a verification of performance of a system or subsystem and equipment without load,PQ is the same with Load.

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit

  How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit Overview Air Handling unit is a system used to supply temperature and Humidity controlled filtered air to the cleanroom. For air filtration various types of filters are used in AHU. And for temperature and Humidity controlling cooling and heating coils are provided in AHU. Goals Control the temperature of air used in the cleanroom  Control the humidity of air used in cleanroom  Air filters Specifications    The air Handling unit consists of Air filter  Cooling coil Heating coil Air blower HEPA Filter  Controlling of Temperature and Humidity  By Cooling Method  The cooling coil recirculates the chilled water having temperatures between 4°C to 6°C. This chilled water comes from the Chiller through centrifugal pumps. When we start the Air Handling unit blowers sucks the air through the pre filters of the air Handling unit. When blowers sucks air, it passes through the cooling co...

AIR FLOW, AIR VELOCITY, ACPH, AHU CAPACITY

Air Changes per Hour AIR VELOCITY AND ACPH OF ROOM OR AREA   Procedure to be followed: Air Velocity Measurement and Calculation of Air Changes: Objective : To demonstrate  that the   air system is balanced and capable of delivering air velocities and providing number of air changes per hour in the respective rooms as   per requirement. Equipment to be used: Hotwire Anemometer or capture Hood Pre Requisite: Air Volumes through supply and return grills and filters should be adjusted as per the design requirement of Air Change Rate and Differential Pressure. Test Method : Ensure that the Supply blower of the AHU is "ON" prior to the start of the observations. For compliance of air change rate, velocity to be measured at 5   different locations to below the each terminal or Grill (Four Corners and center) with the help of calibrated Anemometer. Calculate the   average  velocity of the air coming from Plenum HEPA filter / supply air grill. Calculate the air...

Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system

 Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system       it's all about the relationship between a temperature and pressure and how the pressure affect the boiling point of the refrigerant. As the pressure of refrigerant increases then the temperature and boiling point also increases,  when pressure decreased temperature and boiling point also decreases. Refrigeration and air conditioning systems take use of it to cool the air or liquid.   Normal Refrigeration System      In normal refrigeration system compressor compresses the refrigerant which causes the increase in pressure and temperature of refrigerant. The hot vapour refrigerant pass through the condenser in condenser heat exchange happens and refrigerant condensate into liquid forms.Before entering in the evaporator high pressure liquid refrigerant pass through the expansion of valve. The actual device used depends on the Refrigeration system but capillary t...
