    Thank you all for your messages. It helps!<br>
    <br>
    I'll introduced ligthning and FF units in the thermal load
    calculation.<br>
    I can see that the <i>a priori</i> estimation of the diversity
    factor seems to be difficult.<br>
    Overestimating the thermal load is comfortable, but, here,  I really
    have to minimize the cost of the HVAC system choosing a proper
    size/power of the HVAC  because of our limited budget...<br>

    Thanks again!<br>

      Hi, Loïk. Welcome to the group.

      <div class="">I would caution you about neglecting the heat
        contribution of the cleanroom lighting and the fan filter units.
        Make sure they are really, truly, negligible, because it is not
        difficult for them to dominate the total cleanroom heat load
        under some conditions! In addition, we find that almost all of
        our equipment is in operation almost all of the time, so before
        you use the .75 diversity factor, make sure it is realistic.</div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">The ACS has to be designed to meet the worst-case
        heat load, which will be worst-case weather conditions, plus
        everything turned on and running, plus maximum personnel heat
        load, under conditions of worst-case (maximum) makeup air flow.
        Getting all of this right is one of the most challenging

                <br class="">
                I am working on the design of a small cleanroom facility

                of thermal load,<br class="">
                Which is crucial here in Rio, where the average outside
                temperature is of 30 deg C with a relative humidity of 
                75-80 %.<br class="">
                <br class="">
                I would like to have your help and/or comments on
                several points:<br class="">
                <br class="">
                Most of the manufacturers do not provide a value for the

                simultaneously in the cleanrooms, and usual cleanroom
                value: 22 deg C - 55% humidity. The main issue is: how
                can I estimate the cooling power required for the Air
                Conditioning System (ACS)?<br class="">
                <br class="">
                I have the list of equipments we'll have and the
                corresponding electrical power. I assumed the heat
                generated by 2 users and added the total electrical
                power dissipated as heat inside of the cleanroom, using
                a simultaneity factor of 0.75 (all equipments won't be
                turned on at the same time) and neglected the heat
                produced by the filter fan and lightning. <br class="">
