Description
The VB-MAX BenchTop VAV Fume Hood is designed to be used with exhaust control systems provided by other manufacturers. This Fume Hood is used where automated air control is required. Like other standard RDM fume hood models, this hood also has a narrow design, allowing it to fit through the width of a standard doorway opening. In lieu of an upper bypass panel, this VAV unit includes a lintel, located above the sash, which restricts the air intake of the hood to the sash opening and lower bypass. An exhaust control system (existing or provided by others) should be mounted to the fume hood to detect movement of the sash and automatically adjust the volume of air required to maintain a constant face velocity. Additional Features Include:
Continuous air flow across the work surface with lower airfoil bypass, even with sash fully closed.
45 degree front fascia to eliminate air turbulence.
No Exposed Steel Fasteners on Interior or Exterior of Hood
Double side wall construction allows for installation of many service outlets / fixtures.
Easily removable interior and exterior side access panel(s)
Full view, Vertically sliding, laminated safety glass sash with counter-balanced, smooth efficient movement with full-width finger pull.
Resin-Chem chemical resistant, fiberglass-reinforce
d thermoset resin interior liner, white UL approved material
Energy Efficient T8 fluorescent light fixture is mounted above a sealed safety glass panel, isolated from interior.
Light switch, located on the exterior front of side walls.
Two duplex 115v outlets, located on the exterior front of side walls.
Light, switch and outlets are pre-wired to Electrical Junction Box located at top of hood.
The superstructure is of heavy gauge powder-coated steel.
Rectangular stainless steel exhaust duct collar
Lower Metal Air Foil (Optional Stainless) allows for smoother air flow and aids in the removal of heavy fumes, which provides continuous air flow across the work surface with lower airfoil bypass, even with sash fully closed.
Requires an exhaust control system (by others)
Modular Construction allows for Easy Disassembly and Reassembly
