VAV Fume Hoods

LOC’s Variable Volume Fume Hood is specifically designed for use with exhaust control systems provided by other manufacturers that monitor and control the amount of air being exhausted from the hood. The use of these devices will maintain a constant face velocity and greatly reduce the operating cost of the fume hood.

Design Elements:

• A lintel restricts the air intake to the front sash opening
• The exhaust volume of the hood can be varied by the VAV controls
• Equipped with a full view sash providing an unobstructed view of the hood interior
• Sash is glazed with safety glass and a full width flush PVC pull; includes a spring loaded sash stop
• Counterweight provides a one finger sash operation
• Hood entrance is framed with inward-angled members to minimize turbulence and provide smooth air movement in hood at face velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM
• Stainless steel airfoil allows 1” of airflow across the work surface when sash is in the closed position
• Double wall construction for ease of routing plumbing/electrical lines
• Standard “Resin-Chem” interior liner with removable access panels on both sides
• Removable exterior side panels
• Maximum width, two tube fluorescent light fixture complete with tubes is provided
• Light is mounted above a sealed safety panel keeping corrosive fumes and hazardous vapors isolated
• Tube lights can easily be replaced through the top front
• LOC's basic concept for fume hoods revolves around safety and performance

All fume hood models are tested with the ASHRAE 110 Test at the factory.

Meets and/or exceeds SEFA standards.
