CROSS FLOW TABLE

摘要

A crossflow table having a housing and a work surface. The housing includes an air intake path in fluid communication with the work surface. The air intake path has an intake entrance and intake exit. A filter and blower unit are positioned adjacent the intake exit. An air exhaust path has an exhaust entrance and exhaust exit. The exhaust entrance is adjacent the filter and blower unit. The air intake path and air exhaust path generally extend parallel to one another. The filter and blower unit draw air into the air intake path at the intake entrance and pull the air though the air intake path where the air exhausts into the filter and blower unit at the intake exit. The blower unit then pushes the air into the air exhaust path at the exhaust entrance and forces the air through the air exhaust path and out the exhaust exit. Due to the intake and exhaust paths being generally parallel to one another, the crossflow table is very compact in overall dimensions.

主权项

1. A crossflow table comprising:
a housing having a top panel, side panels, a back panel and a front panel; a work surface positioned within said housing defining an open work space area, said open work space area being defined by side walls and a back wall; an air intake mounted above said work surface said air intake positioned adjacent said top panel and said back wall and an air exhaust positioned adjacent said back panel and said top panel; an inner wall positioned between said back panel and said back wall, said inner wall being generally parallel to said back panel and said back wall, and an interior floor spaced from said work surface and generally parallel to said work surface, said inner wall extending from said top panel to said interior floor; a filter compartment positioned between said work surface and said interior floor; a filter mounted within said filter compartment; a blower compartment positioned below said interior floor in operative communication with said filter compartment; a blower mounted within said blower compartment; an intake air flow path defined by said back wall and said inner wall, said intake air flow path being in operative communication with said filter compartment and said air intake, whereby said blower draws air into said air intake, through said air intake flow path and through said filter; a filtered air plenum defined by said back panel and said inner wall, said filtered air plenum being in operative communication with said blower compartment, whereby filtered air is exhausted from said blower compartment through said filtered air plenum and out said air exhaust.
