SSLF-Dual Series Laminar Flow Diffusers utilize the well proven and time tested concept of vertical air mass ‘laminar flow’ technology. The “dual chamber” design and internal baffles provide improved air distribution across the perforated diffuser face resulting in superior performance.
They produce a non-aspirating low velocity, uniformly distributed downward moving ‘piston’ of conditioned air and may be used individually or as in the case of hospital rooms several units may be banked together to sufficiently cover the area and produce on combined laminar mass. Installed in an operating room above the operating table, the clean conditioned air flows over and blankets the operating table, helping to protect and effectively isolate the patient from contaminated air. The only significant amount of room air entrainment occurs at the outer boundary of the laminar flow mass, outside the confines of the operating table. The patient is therefore bathed in ‘clean air’ and effectively isolated from secondary room air and any airborne contaminants.
The advantages of Laminar Flow technology provide similar benefits in other ‘cleanroom’ applications such as research laboratories, animal laboratories, food processing plants and pharmaceutical laboratories.
The ability of the SSLF-Dual to maintain a sterile environment directly below is enhanced by the use of low level exhaust grilles located around the room periphery which remove the contaminated air before it can react with the boundary layer of the laminar flow mass.
