ABSTRACT:
A system and method are presented for laundering textiles (e.g., clean room garments) within a clean room facility. The textile laundering system may be used to launder clean room garments. The system includes a washing machine, a dryer, and means for measuring the number and sizes of particulates present within laundered textiles. The washing machine has two opposed sides, a loading side and an unloading side, and at least one portion which allows access to mechanical and/or electrical equipment (i.e., an equipment access portion). The washing machine is positioned within a sealed opening in a vertical partition separating a first laundering area from a second laundering area such that the loading side is located within the first laundering area and the unloading side is located within the second laundering area. The washing machine uses only "ultrapure" water, substantially free of ions, minerals, and organic material, to launder the textiles. The dryer is used to remove residual water from the textiles, and also has at least one equipment access portion. The equipment access portions of the washer and dryer are enclosed within at least one service chase such that the equipment access portions are isolated from the first and second laundering areas. The means for measuring the number and sizes of particulates present within laundered textiles may include a Helmke drum and an aerosol particle counter.
