bimpie in design / Economical to install /
Easy to maintain. In addition to protecting laboratory personnel from obnoxious or toxic gases, the Aloe-Pctrolke Fume Hood saves conditioned air. Not only in the room where it is installed, but in the entire building. Losing cooled or heated air through fume hoods places an extra load on refrigeration a n d heating equip ment. Result: unnecessary expense. But —by using outside air instead of room air, to carry, off fumes, waste of conditioned air is stopped. This hood does just that. It operates as a n independent unit, com pletely isolated from rest of room. And in air conditioning savings it can pay for itself.
