Laminate

When asked what they expect from casework, people who work in laboratories list four universal attributes: durability, functionality, flexibility and aesthetics. Perhaps what makes TMI so increasingly popular among laboratory planners and designers is our ability to achieve all of these requirements while maintaining cost efficiency. Through our extensive experience on a variety of laboratory applications, we have been able to engineer durable, flexible, functional and attractive workplace and storage units which are also affordable.

Supreme Air Series Fume Hoods - a new generation in the long history of Kewaunee fume hood research and development. Subjected to stringent testing procedures, these hoods assure reliable, efficient operation at the highest levels of safety (all hoods are tested using ASHRAE 110-1995). Supreme Air Series Fume Hoods are available UL listed and UL classified.

The design is based on rigid frame construction that assures a solid installation with low vibration and sound levels. Radius corner posts and air foils plus easy operator control of interior baffle settings assure a high level of comfort, safety and efficiency.

Typical Applications

With the variety of models available and the comprehensive option packages to be selected, this generation of fume hoods can be tailored to the application needs of any modern laboratory.

Commercial and industrial laboratories, research centers, schools and universities, government facilities, hospitals and clinics are all typical laboratory locations where Kewaunee Supreme Air Fume Hoods, through their performance, prove their quality/value standards.

Guide to Fume Hood Selection

Selection of the proper type of fume hood to use in a laboratory should be based upon two interrelated considerations:

1. The hood must allow the user to perform the work in a safe, efficient manner.
2. The need to reduce air conditioning cost.

The hood must be large enough to accommodate the required containers and apparatus within the prescribed safe work area of the hood (6" behind the plane of the sash). The configuration of the hood should be such that containers can be moved in and out of the hood easily. The sash opening of the hood must allow sufficient access for safely manipulating the containers and apparatus within the hood. The interior of the hood must resist the corrosive effects of chemicals. The hood understructure should provide for storage of the required chemicals for the work being done in the hood. The total cost of a hood is greatly affected by its exhaust air requirements. The annual cost of heating and cooling the air exhausted by the hood can be as high as the initial cost of the hood itself. Choosing the proper hood type and sash configuration can significantly reduce these costs.
