4.3.1.3. Recommended HEPA Filter Burn-Off Process
1. Locate the equipment exhaust opening where chamber air is being expelled.
a. If the oven filter is burned off in a clean area, be sure to handle the equipment
exhaust appropriately.
b. If the equipment is large and the exhaust stack is a permanent service connection,
connect the equipment and exhaust stack before the burn-off process.
c. If the equipment is small with no permanent exhaust duct required, arrange a
temporary connection out of the clean area that will handle the maximum
temperature of the equipment. Direct the smoke and odor outside, or to a highly
ventilated area.
2. Set the temperature control at the maximum process temperature.
a. Silicone: Ramp at 1.25°C/min to 260°C and soak for 48 hours.
b. Media Pack: Ramp at 1.25°C/min to 260°C and soak for 48 hours.
c. Termikfil (Figure 12):
i. Option 1: Ramp at 1.7°C/min (or up to 5°C/min) to 350°C and soak for 48
hours.
ii. Option 2: Ramp to process temperature and soak for three consecutive three-
hour segments over 48 hours.
LCC oven chamber temperature transitions must not exceed
1.5°C/minute to maintain class 100 chamber conditions. For ramp
rates greater than 1.5°C/minute and up to 5°C/minute, the LCD model
will maintain class 100 chamber conditions.
