OUR PROJECT

ABOUT OUR PROJECT

bull Business Area Pharmaceutical building

services

bull Customer Project Process design installation and commissioning of a vaccine filling production line in a positive air pressure cleanroom

bull Schedule ~2 years (design to commissioning)

bull Process The RABS unit (Restricted Access Barrier) is equipped with a vials conveyor and the vaccine filling instruments The machine fills hundreds of vials per minute

RABS and vaccine filling

Cleanroom

ABOUT OUR PROJECT Detailed requirements of simulations Provide easily understood visual results of flow interactions

in the RABS to complement smoke tests Identify upward flow on critical plane 6 in above the vials

conveyor Recommend and test mitigation measures for improper

flow paths around non-sterile components of the machine

This brings up challengeshellip

bull Manage the large and detailed geometry

bull Precisely reproduce the very sensible flow in the plenum

bull Evaluate secondary air flow rates through wall openings of conveyor and cleanroom access door

Responsibilities of Creaform

CAD reproduction CFD simulations of HVAC Design improvements

ABOUT OUR PROJECT

RABS (Restricted Access Barriers)

bull Protection against contamination

bull Physical and aerodynamic barrier

bull Cleanroom Grade B

bull Inside of RABS Grade A critical zone

(glass doors with gloved access)

The extent of separation between the process and the contamination sources (ex People) determines the grade level of the protected zone

SIMULATIONS

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

Available data Cleanroom blueprints STL files of equipment

Final CFD numerical geometry Cleanroom walls and furniture Physical barrier with gloved access Control panel Machine (conveyor filling needles capping

machine measurement instruments etc)

The wrapping capabilities of StarCCM+ allowed to take into account the numerous components at a reasonable calculation cost

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

Numerical geometry is not always available reliable up-to-date or precise

A word on 3D Scanning prior to CFD analysishellip

Fit in a small suitcase Up and running in less than 5 minutes

No rigid set-up No particular experience from the user

Real time visualization Direct mesh output in StarCCM+ compatible STL format

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY A word on portable scannershellip

Scanning demo details on the process and real-life examples of CFD analysis performed thanks to prior 3D scanning will be discussed in our 225 PM session in Pacific Room The Value of 3D Scanning Technologies as a Complementary Tool to STAR-CCM+reg for Various CFD Applications

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Each diffuser measured with Velocity Grid (Multiple pitot tubes)

Ventilation balancing measurements for room diffusers and return ducts

Pressure gaging in adjacent rooms for secondary airflow rates through wall openings for conveyor and the door contour

NUMERICAL METHODOLOGY

RANS ndash k-ω SST All y+ Wall Treatment Polyhedral cells

Cell count ~18M Coupled flow model 2nd order discretization

SOME RESULTS

Pressure gradient in RABS Undesirable longitudinal

velocity Remove partition Restore pressure in

capping section

Global pressure distribution

SOME RESULTS Before

After

Added panels in capping section

Transverse flow Plenum air flow

Non-sterile capping arm

RABS window with opening to cleanroom below

SOME RESULTS

Transverse flow Plenum air flow

Non-sterile capping arm

RABS window with opening to cleanroom below

Deflectors shift the air draft towards the machine floor

SOME RESULTS

Added deflectors

Impinging flow ndash accumulation table ndash focused simulation

SOME RESULTS

A focused simulation was performed with actual vials modeled and mapped boundary conditions from global simulation

Impinging flow ndash accumulation table ndash focused simulation

SOME RESULTS

A critical thickness was determined and used as a source for streamlines (backward and forward)

Simulations showed that in steady state the flow in contact with the critical thickness would entirely be evacuated through the vials shoulders

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

Advantages of StarCCM+ for the cleanroom analysis

1 Wrapping 2 Fast quality mesh 3 Nice visualisations for design

strategy explanations to client and regulatory agencies

Traditional smoke tests are still the

reference for accreditation even if 1 The smoke machine disturbs

the flow 2 It does not provide precise

velocities 3 The studied area is quite

small

CFD compensates those drawbacks and represents a valuable additional tool for cleanroom design

Traditional smoke tests are still the

OUR PROJECT

ABOUT OUR PROJECT

bull Business Area Pharmaceutical building

services

bull Customer Project Process design installation and commissioning of a vaccine filling production line in a positive air pressure cleanroom

bull Schedule ~2 years (design to commissioning)

bull Process The RABS unit (Restricted Access Barrier) is equipped with a vials conveyor and the vaccine filling instruments The machine fills hundreds of vials per minute

RABS and vaccine filling

Cleanroom

ABOUT OUR PROJECT Detailed requirements of simulations Provide easily understood visual results of flow interactions

in the RABS to complement smoke tests Identify upward flow on critical plane 6 in above the vials

conveyor Recommend and test mitigation measures for improper

flow paths around non-sterile components of the machine

This brings up challengeshellip

bull Manage the large and detailed geometry

bull Precisely reproduce the very sensible flow in the plenum

bull Evaluate secondary air flow rates through wall openings of conveyor and cleanroom access door

Responsibilities of Creaform

CAD reproduction CFD simulations of HVAC Design improvements

ABOUT OUR PROJECT

RABS (Restricted Access Barriers)

bull Protection against contamination

bull Physical and aerodynamic barrier

bull Cleanroom Grade B

bull Inside of RABS Grade A critical zone

(glass doors with gloved access)

The extent of separation between the process and the contamination sources (ex People) determines the grade level of the protected zone

SIMULATIONS

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

Available data Cleanroom blueprints STL files of equipment

Final CFD numerical geometry Cleanroom walls and furniture Physical barrier with gloved access Control panel Machine (conveyor filling needles capping

machine measurement instruments etc)

The wrapping capabilities of StarCCM+ allowed to take into account the numerous components at a reasonable calculation cost

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY

Numerical geometry is not always available reliable up-to-date or precise

A word on 3D Scanning prior to CFD analysishellip

Fit in a small suitcase Up and running in less than 5 minutes

No rigid set-up No particular experience from the user

Real time visualization Direct mesh output in StarCCM+ compatible STL format

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY A word on portable scannershellip

Scanning demo details on the process and real-life examples of CFD analysis performed thanks to prior 3D scanning will be discussed in our 225 PM session in Pacific Room The Value of 3D Scanning Technologies as a Complementary Tool to STAR-CCM+reg for Various CFD Applications

Impinging flow ndash accumulation table ndash focused simulation

SOME RESULTS

A focused simulation was performed with actual vials modeled and mapped boundary conditions from global simulation

Impinging flow ndash accumulation table ndash focused simulation

SOME RESULTS

A critical thickness was determined and used as a source for streamlines (backward and forward)

Simulations showed that in steady state the flow in contact with the critical thickness would entirely be evacuated through the vials shoulders

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

Advantages of StarCCM+ for the cleanroom analysis

1 Wrapping 2 Fast quality mesh 3 Nice visualisations for design

strategy explanations to client and regulatory agencies

Traditional smoke tests are still the

reference for accreditation even if 1 The smoke machine disturbs

the flow 2 It does not provide precise

velocities 3 The studied area is quite

small

CFD compensates those drawbacks and represents a valuable additional tool for cleanroom design
