Cabinet Airflow System • The Model VDA Dual Access Workstation employs a total exhaust, non-recirculating airflow configuration. • Recessed air grilles on the peripheral work surface collect ambient air. Combined with vertical laminar downflow, the VDA creates an air curtain to protect the operator from contaminants released from the work surface. • The blower system pulls ambient intake air through the pre-filter, trapping larger dust particles and extending the useful life of the ULPA filter. • An activated carbon filter removes odors. • Air flows through the main ULPA supply filter and...
