Automatic Control of Air Quality in BSL-3 Laboratory / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To keep the homeostasis of pressure grad, temperature and humidity among every area, and to ensure the protective effect of engineering barrier in biology safety. Methods DDC was used in the control system based on the transducer and special data collection equipment, and the figure monitoring system was established. The computer was used to save and process the data of real time and then the related output devices were regulated according to the situation. The alarm will be sounded if any data is out of the limit. Results The system could collect real-time simulation quantity signal of pressure, temperature, humidity, resistance, device work condition and so on in every area in laboratory, such as air-condition, air filter, fan and electric-performer's start-stop(operate) state. The alarm information was showed by CRT coloured dynamic emulational figure. Monitoring center could rework the local control parameters through the DDC controller, the system could adjust the device output automatically. Monitoring center could make alert automatically and the tache and causation were displayed then the operator could deal with the alert message according to the user grade. Conclusion The automatic control system introduced in this article can observe the indoor environment state and control the running parameters of the device availably and immediately. It can meet the requirement of laboratory biological safety.
