Description
Constructed of stress-relieved polypropylene, the FumeGard NU-164 has a by-pass (protected by a grill) which maintains a constant volume of airflow. As the sash is closed, air is by-passed at the top of the hood, causing the hood face velocity to increase much more slowly than a conventional fume hood. A deflector vane across the bottom of the opening directs airflow across the work surface. This provides a permanent opening even when the sash is closed. Most of the exhausted air enters the fume hood through the by-pass. The eye-level Control Center has on/off switches for exterior mounted fluorescent light or optional electrical devices (outlets, window alarms, night setback controls, or exhaust blower interlock systems).
The cabinet is designed to sit on existing casework or a NuAire polypropylene base. The NU-164 can be designed to meet your specific laboratory requirements.
