Chapter 2 - Description of Components
8 - Air Outlet Grill
7 - Removable
PVC Floor
5 - Doors The full-size compartment has double-doors without a center post
which would impede movement of an animal into and out of the
compartment. With a divider panel in place, each half-compartment is
served by its own door. The clear acrylic doors give you a full, unob-
structed view of your patients at all times. Rubber gaskets on all four
sides of both doors provide leak-proof seals. For more information,
refer to Opening and Closing the Doors on Page 48.
Three circulating fans behind this grill supply air to the animal
compartment (Figure 3). This opening is the entrance port for warm
air, cool air, and oxygen into the animal compartment.
Two orange, PVC-coated, expanded metal floors (Figures 7 and
10) are provided with the Intensive Care Unit to give animals softer,
dryer, warmer, and more comfortable resting places. They allow the
animals to rest three-inches above the compartment floor so they
stay clean and dry. The PVC floors are easily removed for cleaning
(refer to Cleaning the Removable PVC Floors on Page 63).
After circulating through the animal compartment, air leaves the
compartment through this grill (Figure 3) and into the filter/fans
compartment. The air then passes through a filter, a chiller, a heater,
and then a pan of Sodalime absorbent which removes the animal’s
respiratory carbon-dioxide.
