- Overall shape and spatial proportion
- Shape selection
- Theoretically, more regular shapes such as square or rectangular spatial layouts are more conducive to achieving constant temperature and humidity effects. This is because regular-shaped spaces are more likely to achieve balance in air flow and temperature and humidity distribution. For example, in circular spaces, the edges and center may experience unevenness during air convection, while square spaces are relatively easier to arrange with reasonable ventilation and air conditioning systems, allowing for uniform air circulation and reducing temperature and humidity differences.
- For large constant temperature and humidity laboratories, using multiple connected square or rectangular space modules is also a good approach. This allows for the division of areas based on different experimental needs while ensuring that the temperature and humidity control in each area is relatively independent and uniform.
- Spatial proportion
- The ratio of height to area is also very important. Generally speaking, lower space heights help reduce air volume, making it easier to control temperature and humidity. However, the height of experimental equipment and operational space must also be considered. For example, in some physical experiments, large instruments such as particle accelerators may be required, necessitating a laboratory height sufficient to accommodate these devices. In such cases, reasonable air conditioning and ventilation equipment layouts, such as adding local air circulation devices around the equipment, can help mitigate the difficulties in temperature and humidity control caused by space height.
- Shape selection
- Equipment placement
- Temperature and humidity adjustment equipment
- The positions of precision air conditioning and dehumidification and humidification equipment should be determined based on the principles of air circulation. Typically, the air conditioning outlets and return air inlets should be reasonably distributed to avoid air short-circuiting. For example, the outlet can be set near the ceiling so that cold or adjusted air can be evenly distributed from top to bottom in the laboratory; the return air inlet should be set near the ground to create good air convection circulation.
- For large constant temperature and humidity laboratories, multiple air conditioning units may be needed. These units should be evenly distributed around the laboratory or arranged according to the division of experimental areas to ensure effective temperature and humidity adjustment in each area. Dehumidification and humidification equipment should also be placed in areas where humidity fluctuations are likely, such as near doors and windows or areas with significant heat dissipation from experimental equipment.
- Experimental tables and instruments
- The placement of experimental tables and instruments should not obstruct normal air circulation. It is generally recommended to place the experimental tables parallel to the direction of air flow to avoid creating dead corners in air flow. For example, in a chemistry laboratory, if the experimental table is perpendicular to the direction of the air conditioning outlet, it may create an area behind the table with uneven temperature and humidity.
- For high-heat-generating instruments and equipment, such as high-temperature furnaces and large computer servers, the impact of their heat dissipation on temperature and humidity must be considered. These devices can be placed in well-ventilated areas, and dedicated heat dissipation channels or auxiliary ventilation equipment can be set up around them to prevent localized high temperatures from affecting the overall constant temperature and humidity effects of the laboratory.
- Temperature and humidity adjustment equipment
- Setting of doors, windows, and partitions
- Position and sealing of doors and windows
- The position of doors and windows should minimize the direct impact of the external environment on indoor temperature and humidity. Avoid placing doors and windows directly facing the outlets or return inlets of temperature and humidity adjustment equipment. At the same time, ensure good sealing of doors and windows, using sealing strips, double-glazed glass, and other measures to prevent external air infiltration. For example, in some high-precision constant temperature and humidity laboratories, airtight doors are used, which can effectively prevent external air from entering when closed, reducing temperature and humidity fluctuations caused by opening the door.
- Partition materials and methods
- If the laboratory needs to be divided into different areas, the choice of partition materials is crucial. Use partition materials with good thermal insulation and moisture retention properties, such as color steel plates with insulation layers or double-glazed partitions. This can create relatively independent temperature and humidity environments between different areas, facilitating separate control based on different experimental needs. For example, in a biological laboratory, it may be necessary to separate the cell culture area from the sample processing area, and good partition materials can prevent temperature and humidity changes during sample processing from affecting the cell culture environment.
- Position and sealing of doors and windows
- Ventilation system layout
- Position of air intake and exhaust
- The air intake of the ventilation system should be set in areas with relatively stable temperature and humidity, and should undergo air pre-treatment, such as filtering, preheating, or dehumidification. The position of the exhaust should avoid air short-circuiting, ensuring that indoor air can circulate and renew adequately. For example, the air intake can be set near the air conditioning return inlet, allowing the air adjusted by the air conditioning to mix better with the newly incoming air and distribute evenly in the laboratory.
- Direction of ventilation ducts
- The direction of the ventilation ducts should be designed according to the spatial layout of the laboratory and the direction of air flow. Minimize bends and resistance to allow smooth air circulation. At the same time, pay attention to the thermal insulation and moisture retention of the ventilation ducts to prevent temperature and humidity loss or changes during ventilation. For example, for laboratories with high humidity requirements, a moisture retention layer can be set inside the ventilation ducts to reduce humidity loss during air flow.
