Introduction
1.1
CLF
The laminar crossflow-cabinet CLF has as purpose that the working surface is kept clear of
particles by means of a clean laminar crossflow of air. By applying a HEPA-filter (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) it is possible to work in this cabinet under conditions which are sterile, dust-free, or
aseptic. The cabinet, therefore, offers a product protection.
Short description of the CLF
•
At the top of the cabinet the inflow air is drawn
through a pre-filter by a fan.
•
This fan blows the air in the correct proportion to
the crossflow HEPA-filter. Because the crossflow
air passed through a HEPA-filter (High Efficiency
Particulate Air), the working surface is free of
particles.
•
The airflow in the workspace is crosswards, thus
preventing background air to flow into the class A
workspace.
•
The air flow leaves the cabinet by the work
opening.
