Additionally, the motorized impeller can also be used in a full recirculation
mode providing the operator with some control of the atmosphere chemistry
within the glove box. See Chapter 7 for the Recirculation Conversion Kit.
The airflow charts below represents typical operational data including air
changes per minute, exhaust volume, noise levels, main chamber static
pressures, and total system static pressures measured at the blower intake
(suction side). Exhaust volumes are reduced by 17% for products operating
at 230V. Exhaust volumes are reduced by 22% for ULPA filters. Exhaust
volumes are reduced by 17% for products operating on 100V, 60 Hz and
reduced 34% for 100V, 50 Hz products.
