Ventilation Systems

Draft Chambers are specialized enclosures designed to safely evacuate harmful gases and vapors that arise during processes such as chemical reactions, solvent evaporation, or the use of dusty materials in laboratories. They are of critical importance in safeguarding the health of workers and controlling the release of potentially harmful substances into the environment.

Operating Principle:

Draft Chambers operate on the principle of negative pressure. The air pressure inside the chamber is kept lower than the pressure outside. This ensures that harmful gases and vapors generated inside the chamber are captured by the internal airflow and are either purified through filters or directly vented outside, preventing their escape into the surrounding environment.

Advantages:

• Worker Safety: Minimizes the risk of exposure to harmful gases and vapors.
• Environmental Protection: Prevents the spread of harmful substances into the environment.
• Fire Safety: Ensures the safe handling of flammable and explosive materials.
• Flexibility: Available in different sizes and configurations, they can be customized to fit the needs of your laboratory.

Selection Criteria:

• Intended Use: The types of chemicals or processes for which it will be used.
• Size: The available space in the laboratory and the required working volume.
• Airflow Rate: Varies depending on the type and quantity of chemicals used.
• Filtration System: Selecting the appropriate filter is crucial depending on the type of harmful gases and vapors.

Draft Chambers are an essential investment in ensuring the safety of your laboratory and the health of your workers. With the right choice and regular maintenance, they can be safely used for many years.
