Laboratory Walk-In Fume Hood features are designed to enable working with large and complex setups. These types of fume hoods are especially preferred in laboratories where large equipment or experimental setups are used. Here are their basic features:

1. Structural Features

• Large Working Area:

Walk-in fume hoods offer an open area from floor to ceiling, allowing users to place large-sized equipment inside the hood.

o Internal Height: It can usually be 2 meters or higher.

o Width and Depth: Can be customized according to the project.

• Material Durability:

o Chemical-resistant materials such as epoxy paint or polypropylene are used on galvanized steel.

o The inner lining is designed to be resistant to aggressive chemicals and splashes.

• Glass Doors:

o Transparent and movable doors provide ease of observation while closing the work area.

o Provides protection against chemical splashes and vapors.

2. Ventilation Features

• Powerful Exhaust System:

It quickly discharges hazardous gases formed in large volumes by providing high air flow rate (CFM).

o It can be supported by a single or optional dual fan system or central ventilation connection.

• Balancing Air Flow:

o It prevents hazardous gas leakage into the laboratory environment thanks to its design that optimizes air flow.

o Laminar flow technology can be used to regulate optional pressure differences.

• Chemical Filtration:

o Filtration systems can be customized to capture volatile organic compounds (VOC), acid vapors or particles (optional)

3. Safety Features

• Compliance with Standards:

Designed in accordance with EN 14175 and other international safety standards.

• Rapid Evacuation and Alarm System:

In case of hazardous gas accumulation, alarm systems (optional) and rapid evacuation fans are activated.

4. Ergonomic and User-Friendly Features

• Lighting:

There is LED or fluorescent lighting inside, so the work area is clearly illuminated.

• Electrical and Water Connections:

o Internal sockets, water fittings and gas valves provide convenience to the user.

o Electrical connections are isolated from the external environment.

• Control Panels:

o There are digital or manual panels to control air flow, fan speed and lighting.

5. Areas of Use

• Chemistry and Materials Science: In working with large reactors or experimental setups.

• Pharmaceutical Production: In large-scale experiments and production stages.

• Biotechnology and Genetics: For complex experiments involving special equipment.

• Industrial Test Laboratories: In the analysis and testing processes of bulky equipment.

Advantages

• Flexibility: It is compatible with equipment of different sizes with its large internal volume and modular design.

• Safety: It provides effective removal of harmful gases, fumes and particles.

• Durability: It has a long life with its high-quality materials.

• Efficiency: It provides easy access when working with large equipment and speeds up the workflow.
