Airflow Diagram
-
Air enters the cabinet through perforations
located along the front of the work zone
before mixing with used downflow air
in a common chamber below the work
zone (this inflow air does not mix with
the filtered downflow air in the cabinets
main chamber). The mixed air then passes
through the HEPA filter located beneath
the work zone.
-
The HEPA filtered air then passes through
internal ducting in the back wall of the
cabinet to a common air plenum where
35% is exhausted through the ULPA
exhaust filter and 65% is forced evenly
through the ULPA supply filter. This
sterilized air then passes through the
main chamber as downflow air, flushing
all contaminates from the work zone.
-
At the work surface the downflow
airstream splits and enters the common air
chamber beneath the work zone through
perforations located at the front and back
of the main chamber, from where the
cycle is repeated.
