Airfoil Add Air Fume Hood

Airfoil Add Air Chemical Fume Hood

The BMC Airfoil Add Air Fume Hood provides added economy through the use of a front mount "add air plenum " that can supply up to 70 percent of the total Hood air volume requirement from an outside source.

Design

The superstructure entrance of the Add Air Fume Hood is framed with inward angled members that minimize turbulence and provide smooth movement of air into the Hood. This design allows for efficient operation of the Fume Hood at face velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM. Additionally, the built-in bypass feature above the Hood sash works to maintain a relatively constant face velocity at any sash position.

The front mounted add air plenum of the Airfoil Add Air Fume Hood utilizes a series of diffusers and louvers to provide a uniform flow of supply air to the face of the Fume Hood. This uniform air flow allows for providing up to 70% of the overall air volume requirements of the Hood through the add air plenum.

As with other BMC Fume Hoods, the Add Air Hood comes equipped with a full view laminated safety glass sash with a full width flush pull and counterweight for easy operation. A lower airfoil acts as sash stop that provides a 1" space for air to continuously flow into the Hood and across the work surface.

Double wall construction of the superstructure provides adequate space on both sides of the Hood for installation of service fixtures and routing of plumbing and electrical lines. The lining of the interior work area of the Hood is white Resin-Chem with removable interior access panels on both sides. Removable exterior side panels provide easy access to fixtures and their service lines.

Interior

The interior of the Add Air Fume Hood is brightly lit by a maximum width dual fluorescent tube light fixture. The fixture is mounted behind a sealed safety glass panel to isolate the fixture from corrosive fumes and flammable vapors. Replacement of fluorescent tubes is accomplished from the exterior top front of the Fume Hood superstructure.

Options

Choose from the variety of optional service fixtures available from BMC. Service fixture and electrical outlet types and locations are to be specified by the customer to fit each particular application. Mounting holes are provided in the superstructure for final on-site installation of optional equipment.
