For thimble-ducted glove boxes, the proper remote blower selection can be
determined from these exhaust requirements as the remote blower only needs
to be sized for the static pressure loss of the ductwork system. The thimble
ducted exhaust blower should be sized for 25% additional airflow. When
exhausting a glove box to the outside, it should be connected to a dedicated
remote blower.
Labconco offers accessory remote blowers listed in Chapter 7. Contact
Labconco for blower sizing assistance.
When a glove box is connected to a remote blower exhaust system, an
adjustable damper (or valve) should be installed in the duct to control the
airflow volumes properly. See Chapter 7 for Exhaust Dampers.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical service should be nearby for connecting the glove box cords, and
accessory equipment. Single width units require one line cord and double width
units require two line cords. Line cords are each rated at 100-115V, 15A or
230V, 12A. The glove box is rated 115V, 12A or 230V, 12A or 100V, 12A. A
convenience outlet is located inside the glove box and is rated for 115V, 12A or
230V, 6A or 100V, 12A. Additional power strip accessories are available for
connection to the outlet and are listed in Chapter 7.
Space Requirements
The dimensions are shown in Appendix B: Dimensions. Adequate space to
the right of the transfer chamber is required for loading and unloading.
