Description
The CompactLine DCL 1200 PP is the ideal solution for laboratories performing heavy acid digestion, trace metal analysis, or any process involving concentrated mineral acids (like $HCl$, $H_{2}SO_{4}$, or $HF$). Unlike standard fume hoods that may use coated steel, the polypropylene (PP) construction of the DCL 1200 PP is inherently resistant to chemical attack, ensuring a long service life without the risk of rust or structural degradation.Advanced Safety and Airflow Management:Operator safety is the core focus of the CompactLine series:Airflow Monitoring: The unit is equipped with a Schneider airflow controller that monitors the face velocity in real-time.1 If the airflow drops below a safe threshold (e.g., $0.5 text{ m/s}$), an audible and visual alarm is triggered.Motorized Sash: The safety glass window is motorized, allowing for easy adjustment. It includes a “stop” mechanism to prevent the sash from being opened beyond the safe working height.Aerodynamic Design: The hood’s interior is shaped to minimize turbulence and “dead zones,” ensuring that heavy vapors are efficiently pulled toward the exhaust baffles.Ergonomics and Integrated Utilities:Despite its compact “tabletop” style footprint, the DCL 1200 PP is fully featured:Illumination: Integrated LED lighting provides a bright, shadow-free workspace (>800 lux).2Worktop Options: While the interior is PP, the worktop can be customized with materials such as solid ceramics, epoxy resin, or technical stoneware depending on the specific heat and chemical requirements.Service Modules: The side pillars are equipped with electrical sockets (IP44 protected) and can be fitted with remote-controlled valves for water, gas, or vacuum.Primary Applications:Analytical Chemistry: Acid digestion and sample preparation for ICP-MS/OES.Battery Research: Handling of electrolyte components and corrosive salts.Semiconductor Lab: Etching processes using aggressive acids.General Research: Any application requiring a 1200 mm wide workspace with high chemical resistance.
