Fume hoods
Construction and materials
The Kojair fume hood is made of stainless steel or stove-enamelled steel. The work surface is made of stainless or acid-resistant steel or melamine-coated chip board. The front door glass is 6 mm thick. The door is hinged and gas spring operated.
Operating principle
The fume hood is connected to a separate exhaust air ventilation duct equipped with a mechanical air extractor. The air flowing in the work space forms hardly any whirls. Heavy gases are extracted at the back of the work surface, lighter gases and other light substances through the grating at the top of the working surface. The incoming air flows into the hood evenly through the whole working opening area and prevents harmful substances or gases from penetrating from the work space into the room. The fume hood effectively protects the employee from harmful exposure.
Equipment and installation
Kojair Fume hoods are standard-equipped with fluorescent lighting outside the work space, amelamine-coated or stainless steel, acid-resistant work surface and a light switch. The fume hood is ready to be connected to the exhaust air ventilation duct. The necessary connestions must be performed by a qualified contractor.
