I knew of laminar-flow [1] from my old competitive sailing days, never knew the same principle was used for clean room tech. An amazing invention, RIP Mr. Whit

- Serow225 12y ago"Clean benches" are pretty neat, basically just a laminar flow ULPA panel filter with fans on top, mounted above a work surface. They are used in applications like hard drive disaster recovery labs - you don't need an expensive cleanroom, just plop a couple of these benches in an ordinary "dirty room" as they are called. As long as you open up the drive on the bench and don't remove it from the bench until it's sealed back up, you're good to go!
- wlievens 12y agoWe use this at a contractor site for testing. Assembly of electronics has already happened, so no need for a high grade clean room environment, but still has to be relatively dust free. We call it a "flow bench".
