Exhaust enclosure

containmentfor rotary evaporatorslaboratory

Overview
Bespoke walk-in enclosures from Envair Technology are designed to contain large pieces of equipment where ventilation of fumes or noxious gases is required but where the containment performance level or frequency of use is lower than that of a fume cupboard. These custom ventilated enclosures are engineered to fit the space and equipment footprint and can offer energy-efficiency advantages compared with some alternative containment approaches.

Typical applications and equipment

• Housing large laboratory or process equipment (for example rotary evaporators) where vapours or fumes require local extraction and equipment may be left unattended for extended periods.
• Laboratories, pharmaceutical production, pilot plants and industrial facilities requiring local extraction of fumes or vapours from large apparatus.

Design and options

• Custom design to match site constraints and specific equipment footprints.
• Door choices: bi-folding, hinged, horizontal; locking and access-control options available.
• Configurable number and types of access points and integrated service provisions (utilities, ports, cable entries).
• Available as ducted models (extract to building/plant ventilation) or recirculating models with internal filtration.
• Optional 'Safe change' HEPA filter arrangements for filtered recirculation or safe filter replacement.

Performance and benefits

• Provides targeted local exhaust for fumes and vapours without the containment performance or frequent user interaction associated with a fume cupboard.
• Engineered airflow and extraction tailored to equipment and space to optimise capture efficiency.
• Potential operational energy savings compared with some alternative containment solutions.
