EN14175-3 Polypropylene Fume Hood / 2300m3/h Fume Exhaust Hood

Fume hoods are designed to provide personnel protection from toxic or volatile chemicals by continuously delivering airflow away from the user to the work area. Air is then filtered and/or treated by the building's exhaust system before exiting the facility.

A fume hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing five sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most commonly located at a standing work height.

Two main types exist, ducted and recirculating (ductless). The principle is the same for both types: air is drawn in from the front (open) side of the cabinet, and either expelled outside the building or made safe through filtration and fed back into the room. This is used to:

• protect the user from inhaling toxic gases (fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, glove boxes)
• protect the product or experiment (biosafety cabinets, glove boxes)
• protect the environment (recirculating fume hoods, certain biosafety cabinets, and any other type when fitted with appropriate filters in the exhaust airstream)

• Slotted baffle system for proper air flow and constant face velocity.
• Aerodynamic airfoil hood provides more even airflow by avoiding sharp curves that can create turbulence
• Vertical sliding sash, with chain and sprocket mechanism, durable and reliable counter-balanced system, provides full width work opening with maximum height clearance for transferring equipment inside the hood.
• Dished work surface designed to safely contain spills. Available in 304 Stainless steel, Polypropylene and phenolic resin.
• Removable access panels are to easily access service lines and fittings.
• Airflow Alarm to ensure adequate face air velocity to protecting staff from potentially hazardous fumes and substances and ensuring you stay compliant.
• Durable external mount LED lighting provide very energy efficient illumination.
• Stainless steel 10" Duct collar(s)
• Fume hoods are tested to comply with ASHRAE 110:1995 and EN14175-3 standards
