FAQ
Q1: How does a ducted fume hood work?
A: It uses airflow generated by a fan to create an inward draft (face velocity) at the front of the hood, capturing harmful fumes produced during experiments and exhausting them through a duct system outside the building, preventing their diffusion into the laboratory.
Q2: What is the difference between standard and explosion-proof fume hoods?
A: The standard model is suitable for handling general chemicals. The explosion-proof model is equipped with special features such as explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof lighting, and spark-resistant construction, making it suitable for handling flammable solvents or experiments that may create explosive atmospheres.
Q3: What should be considered when installing a ducted fume hood?
A: Installation requires planning for an exhaust duct leading outdoors, as well as professional ductwork and electrical connections. Ensuring the laboratory has sufficient exhaust capacity is also critical.
Q4: How should the size of the fume hood be chosen?
A: Size selection depends on the available laboratory space, the number of users simultaneously, and the size of equipment typically placed inside the fume hood. Common widths range from 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters.
Q5: Where can I purchase a GCC ducted fume hood?
A: You can purchase and inquire about GCC ducted fume hoods through the official GCC website, authorized laboratory equipment distributors, or by directly contacting their sales representatives.
