Add Air Fume Hood

Add Air Fume Hood

The Add Air Fume Hood is a lab ventilation system that helps to regulate air in an isolated space through a plenum. It provides safe airflow in labs and industrial or research facilities. Air exiting the fume hood goes through the ductwork to be released into the atmosphere. It is drawn from the open side before being expelled out of the building, creating a safe and efficient work environment. At LOC Scientific, we bring high-quality lab ventilation systems.

About Our Add-Air Fume Hood

Our Add Air Fume Hood has a front mount “add air plenum” that supplies up to 70% of the total hood air volume needed from an outside source, presenting an economical option. The hoods use diffusers and louvers to provide a uniform airflow supply to the front of the fume hood. We have optional service fixtures for the unit installation, bringing effective customization.

Options

We have optional service fixtures for the Add Air Fume Hood Installation. We pre-cut mounting holes for service fixtures and electrical receptacles. They are capped where fixtures are not required.

Design

The fume hood design varies depending on the lab requirements. To determine the best design, we consider the hood size, collar size, static pressure, and other factors. Knowing the total pressure drop through the system helps to select the best exhaust blower.

Features and Benefits of Our Add-Air Fume Hood

Our Add-Air Fume Hoods help to reduce airflow turbulence through the unit. The energy-saving fume hoods bring their own air through a duct run or blower. They are more cost-efficient in the long term due to their energy efficiency.
