The walk-in fume hood from LOC Scientific is an important solution for laboratories requiring the accommodation of large equipment or complex setups. Designed with two vertically rising sashes, this fume hood cabinet allows you to roll in large apparatus or portable workstations with ease.

Its expansive design is perfect for labs that need more space and flexibility, all while maintaining superior safety and airflow control.

Key Features of the Walk-In Fume Hood

Two Independently Operating Sashes: The walk-in fume hood is equipped with two full-view, vertically rising sashes. It allows you to roll in large equipment or portable workstations without obstruction easily.
Laminated Safety Glass: Each sash is made from 7/32″ laminated safety glass. It provides visibility and added protection during use. The full-width flush PVC pull ensures smooth operation.
LOC500 Airflow Monitor: The fume hood includes an audible airflow monitor (LOC500) that helps ensure proper airflow for safety. This is especially important when dealing with hazardous fumes or materials.
Smooth Air Movement: The hood’s entrance is framed with inward-angled members that minimize turbulence. It guarantees smooth airflow with face velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM (feet per minute).
Removable Panels: Both the standard “Resin-Chem” liner and exterior side panels are removable. This provides easy access for maintenance and cleaning.
Energy-Efficient Lighting: Lights are mounted above a sealed safety glass panel – keeping corrosive fumes and hazardous vapors isolated. Tube lights can be easily replaced through the top front to minimize downtime.
Double Wall Construction: The walk-in fume hood features double-wall construction. This facilitates easy routing of service piping and ensures the protection of internal components.

Important Considerations:

Static Pressure: Static pressure refers to the resistance that the air faces as it moves through the fume hood and duct system. It is an important factor to consider when selecting the proper exhaust blower for the system. A correct balance of airflow is key to maintaining safe operating conditions in the lab.
Room Size and Heat Load: The size of the room, overall lab heat load, and the materials being used will determine the appropriate size and capacity for your walk-in fume hood.
Air Changes: Consider how many air changes per hour are needed in your lab to maintain safe and clean conditions.
