T400 Mobile School's Fume Cupboard

Fume Cupboard Airflow Characteristics

Clean air is drawn in through the front aperture where it circulates around the cabinet and collects any fumes that may be given off inside. It is drawn in through openings in the rear baffle to ensure even flow throughout the entire working area. The openings at the top of the baffle ensure that any heated air can also be collected. Contaminated air is pulled down the back of the cabinet and into the plenum chamber before passing through the large capacity 22kg activated carbon filter [ What is Activated Carbon? ]. Should the airflow drop below recommended levels a low-airflow alarm will activate. The carbon filter can also be monitored by way of an optional filter saturation alarm that gives both audible and visual warnings in event of filter saturation.

"I was delighted with the performance of its filter system which contained all the noxious fumes evolved throughout the chemical reactions."

"It is of vital importance that teachers use demonstrations as a visual teaching aid, and that they can do so in a safe environment…… The combined benefits of convenience, flexibility, safety and low noise make Labcaire's T400 the ideal choice for practical demonstrations in chemistry laboratories."

Extracts from a report written by Dr Colin Chambers, Retired Head of Chemistry, Bolton School. Dr Chambers uses the Labcaire T400 for his practical demonstrations of Chemistry during his nationwide Teacher Training Seminars.
