The chemical fumehood – a protection equipment for laboratory use.
It’s main roles are:
TO CONTROL user’s exposure to gases, fumes, vapors aerosols and other dangerous air-born particles while operating laboratory procedures involving potentially harmful chemicals. TO PREVENT the development of explosive clouds within the working area. TO PROTECT users in case of violent chemical reactions, explosions or splashes with dangerous substances.
Operating principle: in order to ensure a contained hazardous perimeter within it’s casing, negative pressure relative to surrounding environment is applied by connecting the fumehood to a complex exhaust system.
The fumehoods casing is made of electrostatic powder-coated steel. For ease of transportation and installation, the fumehood’s body is made of easy to handle parts.
Work area: Is made of a contained protected space,with sealed walls and joints on all sides, accessible only from the front side, through a sliding vertical window – The sash. Opening the sash allows access for placing materials and equipment in the work area, so that the user can safely operate them. The sash opening can can be adjusted at any height and has an automatic safety locking mechanism.
Control panel: It is ergonomically placed under the worktop and comprises the controllers for all utilities: electric sockets, lights, ventilation, etc.
Reagent Storage Body: Located beneath the workspace – for frequently used reagents and consumables, can be connected to the fumehoods main exhaust system
Filters and ventilation: The exhaust system is powered by an electric single-phase / three-phase motor and centrifugal fan. In order to insure a constant airflow at the opening of the sash, the fumehood system has a controller unit that adjusts the fan speed to the opening of the sash.
Filters: The filter system is made of active carbon plates.
INTENDED USE: Designed according to EN 14175, the fumehood is a safety laboratory equipment insuring safe work environment for operating laboratory staff.
