This fume hood is made unique in that it allows air to enter into the hood while the sash is fully closed via a bypass system utilizing the front panel at the top and the airfoil at the bottom. By providing an additional path for air to enter, this limits the maximum velocity thus decreasing the risk of turbulence within the hood which would interfere with experiments.
The X-MAX is designed with 6" side walls to allow for ample electrical capabilities. The superstructure is of heavy gauge painted steel with steel upper panel and airfoil.
Laminated safety glass sash is chain driven for a smooth efficient movement.
