Exhaust Requirements - Labconco Cell Logic+ B2 User Manual

Note: The use of air or gases under high pressure should be avoided as they may
seriously disrupt the airflow patterns in the cabinet.

Exhaust Requirements

This product must be connected to a remote (building) exhaust system.
Note: Only connect the biosafety cabinet to a suitable exhaust system that is dedicated
to the biosafety cabinet, or dedicated to exhausting laboratory ventilation equipment.
Do NOT connect the biosafety cabinet to the building's general HVAC system for room
exhaust.
Examine the location to ensure that it
accommodates the cabinet's exhaust duct. The
area directly above the cabinet's exhaust port
should be clear of structural elements, water and
utility lines, or other fixed obstructions. There
should be enough clearance to accommodate a
10-inch diameter duct. See Figure 2-2.
Avoid cabinet locations that require an elbow
directly above the cabinet's exhaust connection
or an excessive number of elbows in the exhaust
system. There should be a straight length 10
duct diameters long between the cabinet
connection and any elbow, and between
subsequent elbows. See Figure 2-3.
