Walk-In Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500

POL-EKO Walk-In Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500 The DCL 1500 Walk-In is a professional-grade 1.5-meter wide fume cupboard designed for large-scale laboratory applications. Characterized by its tabletop-free design, it allows for the direct placement of large equipment on the laboratory floor within a protected environment. Built from epoxy-coated galvanized steel (no wood-based materials), it features a double back-wall system for effective extraction of both light and heavy vapors and a Schneider airflow monitoring set compliant with EN 14175. With a counterweighted tempered glass sash that can open up to 1850 mm, it offers maximum accessibility and safety for industrial and research chemistry.

Description

The POL-EKO DCL 1500 Walk-In is engineered for environments that outgrow the limitations of a standard benchtop fume hood. Its defining characteristic is the omission of a fixed worktop, providing a clear internal height of over 2 meters. This allows researchers to wheel in floor-standing reactors, pilot plants, or large-scale distillation assemblies while maintaining the same level of operator protection as a standard unit.Advanced Ventilation & Safety Engineering:Double Rear Wall System: Active extraction slots at the top and bottom of the chamber effectively remove vapors regardless of their density.3 This prevents thermal stratification and “dead zones,” ensuring a constant sweep of hazardous gases away from the operator.4+1Precision Monitoring: The unit is equipped with a standard Schneider FM 550-A-0-E monitoring set, which continuously measures face velocity.5 Visual and audible alarms trigger instantly if the airflow falls below the safety threshold ($<0.3text{ m/s}$), ensuring full compliance with PN-EN 14175.Decompression Flap: An integrated safety flap in the ceiling provides an immediate pressure release path in the event of an uncontrolled chemical reaction.6Ergonomics and Durability:Construction: The frame and housing are crafted entirely from epoxy powder-coated galvanized steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and a wood-free, non-flammable structure.7Telescopic Accessibility: The tempered glass sash is balanced by a counterweight for smooth operation.8 For setup, it can be lifted to a maximum height of 1850 mm, allowing for easy ingress of large equipment. It also features horizontal sliding glass panes for precision access during active experiments.Integrated Utilities: While the base model is tabletop-free, it can be customized with water spouts, gas taps, and electrical sockets (IP44) integrated into the side walls or front panels to meet specific user requirements.9Visibility: Linear LED lighting is mounted outside the working chamber behind an insulating glass pane, protecting the fixtures from corrosive fumes while ensuring high-visibility conditions.

Specifications

Walk-In Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500 Specifications

The Walk-In CompactLine DCL 1500 is a floor-mounted fume hood designed for high-clearance laboratory applications. It is specifically engineered to house tall experimental setups, such as pilot plants or large distillation assemblies, and allows for the easy movement of heavy equipment on trolleys directly into the containment area.

Technical Parameters

  • Recommended Airflow: 1200 – 1600 m3/h

  • Air Velocity: 0.3 – 0.5 m/s

  • Nominal Power: 60 W

  • Voltage: 230 VAC 50Hz

     
  • Air Outlet Diameter: 250 mm

  • Noise Level: < 58 dB

Physical and Material Data

  • Overall Dimensions (W x H x D): 1500 x 2350 x 900 mm

  • Working Space Dimensions (W x H x D): 1434 x 2100 x 730 mm

  • Body Construction: Galvanized steel with epoxy powder coating (no wood-based materials)

     
  • Internal Liner: Epoxy-coated galvanized steel (Optional: Phenolic resin, Polypropylene, or Stainless steel)

  • Front Window: Double-pane telescopic toughened glass with counterweight system

     
  • Floor: Floor-level access (option for stainless steel or ceramic floor tray)

  • Weight: Approx. 650 kg

Functional and Safety Features

  • Triple-Level Extraction System: To compensate for the high internal volume, the rear baffle is designed with three extraction zones (top, middle, and bottom). This prevents the accumulation of heavy gases at the floor level and removes light vapors from the ceiling.

  • Telescopic Sash Design: The vertical sliding window is divided into two sections, allowing the hood to accommodate large equipment during setup while maintaining a lower, safe sash height during active chemical processing.

  • Schneider Monitoring System: Includes an FM 550-A-0-E controller that provides real-time digital readouts of face velocity and triggers alarms if airflow reaches unsafe levels.

     
  • Safety & Containment: Features an anti-drop sash mechanism and an integrated decompression flap in the ceiling to vent sudden pressure increases.

     
  • External Utility Panel: Utility valves (Water, Gas, Vacuum) and four splash-proof electrical sockets (IP44) are located on the external side pillars to ensure the operator does not need to reach into the hood to adjust supplies.

  • Corrosion Resistance: The external LED lighting is located behind a sealed glass pane, protecting the electronics from corrosive fumes within the chamber.
