Types and Dimensions

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The Euro Fume Cupboard consists of the independent main parts: fume cupboard underbench and fume cupboard top. Both units are completely factory- assembled and are delivered to the site ready for connection. Construction – Installation

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Should the conditions on site not enable a pre-assembled delivery, the Euro Fume Cupboard will be put up on site from pre-assembled components. Construction – Installation

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The fume cupboard underbench comprises: two side panels of coated chipboard two epoxy resin coated upright in the rear; each with levelling device. two epoxy resin coated aluminium profiles at the front with integrated height adjustment two epoxy resin coated steel traverses to hold the worktop Construction – Characteristics

KG Wangen im Allgäu two side panels of coated chipboard one rear panel of coated chipboard one front panel of epoxy resin coated sheet steel one firmly installed sash with epoxy resin coated aluminium frame and hardened laminated safety glass one front sash or two synchronously running front sashes with epoxy resin coated aluminium frame and hardened laminated safety glass Construction – Characteristics The fume cupboard top comprises :

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu one worktop (of synthetic ceramics, PP, epoxy resin or according to requirement) two or three detach- able service panels integrated in the back panel one rear baffle of solid grade laminate one top baffle of solid grade laminate one front and rear ceiling of coated chipboard one integrated light one exhaust air manifold of PP, hardly flamable Construction – Characteristics The fume cupboard top comprises:

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The Euro Fume Cupboard is equipped with a vertically adjustable front sash and with a sash of laminated safety glass, which is firmly installed on top. Construction – Front Sash 1 sanitary service panel 2 rear baffle 3 air intake openings 4 electrical service panel 5 scaffold rod holders 6 scaffold rods 7 cup sink

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Through two toothed belts, which are independently running via a front and a rear toothed disk, the front sash is connected to two counter-weights. The counter-weights are running without any restricted guidance. Construction – Front Sash 1 front toothed disk 2 tooth belt 3 front sash 4 rear panel of fume cupboard 5 counter-weight 6 plywood panel (4 mm) 7 rear toothed disk

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The front sash is equipped with an aluminium frame on both sides and with an additional anti-skid device. If the toothed belts are properly working, a track mechanism against spring pressure is lifted. In case the toothed belt is torn, the spring will press the track mechanism to the outside and is wedged in the routing profile. Thus it is reliably avoided that the front sash will fall down in case of an error.

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The sash handle at the lower side of the front sash is formed in such a way that splashes, splinters or similar are re- routed down to the worktop if the sash is closed.

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu In the interior of the fume cupboard top up to three service panels are integrated in the rear panel. These service panels are either equipped with various supplies for water, gas, vacuum, compressed air, etc. or with a drip cup, or sockets for electricity. The valves and switches are located in the service modules of the fume cupboard underbench. The fume cupboard rear panel is equipped with up to 12 scaffold rod holders ( polybutylen-terephtalate) with cam fixing for scaffold rods with a diameter of 13 mm. Construction – Service Panels – Scaffold Rod Holders Service Panels

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Each service module (300 mm wide, 180 mm high) can be individually equipped. The sanitary module can be equipped with several valves which are colour- coded and allocated to the outlets in the service panel at the rear panel of the fume cupboard. The electrical module can be equipped with rotary switches, press switches, sockets and fuse protections. These switches are also allocated to the sockets in the service panel at the rear panel of the fume cupboard. Construction – Service Modules Service Modules

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The exhaust air manifold is installed above the rear ceiling and is equipped with a connection diameter of 250 mm in order to allow an easy connection to a ventilation system. The exhaust air manifold is also equipped with two air intake openings with a diameter of 200 mm each. Construction – Ventilation Connection

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Front air foil cill The air foil cill at the front of the worktop is aero- dynamical in shape.. Sash handle The aerodynamic shape with clear tear-off edges provide for defined flow proportions at the sash handle. The backflow of the double profile causes a clear under pressure reduction when opening the front sash. Thus considerably better results are achieved during the dynamic contaminant test according to DIN Construction – Aerodynamics – Sash Handle and Worktop Illustr.: flow test in flat water ductIllustr.: flow visualization in mist test

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The aerodynamic shape of the patent- applied profile of the Euro Fume Cupboard reduces turbulences. Thus backflows are avoided and the results of the containment tests according to DIN are improved considerably. The laboratory staff is better protected. Aerodynamics – Profile Support Illustr.: flow test in flat water duct

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Criterions for an optimized distribution of extraction at the rear panel are: An even extraction through the entire fume cupboard interior (reduction of air circulation in favour of a piston flow). Extraction of heavy gases (e.g. vapours of solvents, bromine) by pulling down the baffle tightly above the worktop. Low pressure loss at high air volumes (EN, BS, ASHRAE). Service panels with circulating extraction slots completely integrated in the rear baffle. Aerodynamics – Distribution of Extraction

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The Euro Fume Cupboard is equipped with the fume cupboard function display (FAZ) as required in DIN part 1 as a standard. As an option it can be equipped with a variable fume cupboard control, the Airflow- Controller 2, or with a constant airflow controller, the AC-C.

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Extensive measurements were carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics to determine the A- valued sound level for the various Euro Fume Cupboard types and for the various Airflow Controllers. Sound Level

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu Each Euro Fume Cupboard can be optionally equipped (also in addition) with the sash controller SC2. It is the task of the SC2 to automatically close the SC2 if nobody is working with the fume cupboard. With a movement detector the SC2 controls the area in front of the fume cupboard for moving persons. As an additional option a photo-electric light barrier can be inserted in the lower cross profile. With this photo-electric light barrier also isothermic and stationary objects (e.g. appliances in the sash area) can be detected. The time between the last detection and the closing process can be adjusted. Euro Fume Cupboard Sash Controller Illustr.: movement detector Illustr.: driving motor for SC 2

WALDNER Laboreinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG Wangen im Allgäu The Euro Fume Cupboard control units FAZ, AC2 and SC2 are completely pre-installed, adjusted and calibrated in the factory. Furthermore they are also subject to an extensive function test. Commissioning
