6 .8 Changing Out Filters

 

 

WARNING! Ensure persons removing filters are made aware of any potential hazards and that they are  provided with any 

necessary protective clothing and equipment.

 

Hazards associated with the removal and disposal of used filters will depend on the application of the hood.   If an 

activated carbon filter is used with hydrocarbon solvents, the filter will retain the solvents without loss, and can be 

removed in the laboratory. The used filter should be sealed into a plastic bag prior to disposal, preferably by 

incineration 

If the filter has contained any dangerous materials such as asbestos dust or radioactive chemicals, operator 

protection is advised, including the use of a respirator. The used filters may require disposal  by a specialist 

company 

NOTE: CONSULT YOUR SAFETY OFFICER OR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST BEFORE REMOVING OR DISPOSING 

ANY FILTERS. 

Pre-Filters 

The pre-filter is located below the main filter. Remove the perforated pre-filter tray. Remove the old pre-filter and place it 

into a bag. Seal for disposal. Refit the new filter and refit the pre-filter tray. 

Main Carbon / HEPA Filter 

 

WARNING! Disconnect the power supply before removing filter access cover.

 

 

Remove the front cover to gain access to the filter. Loosen the filter clamps. Lift the filter slightly to break the seal 

and then withdraw the filter. Place the filter in a plastic bag. Seal the bag for disposal. 

 

Slide the new filter into position by pushing the filter fully into the module. Refit the front cover and lock it in 

position 

 

Please note, sometimes after new filters are fitted, it may be necessary to recalibrate the airflow system. This 

procedure can be found in Calibration. 

 

6.9 Airflow Adjustment

 

The speed controller on the cabinet can be accessed behind the main control panel
