      John BowersAug 23, 2025
      Exhaust air imbalance can be caused by several factors. First, check for any obstruction over the exhaust filter and remove it. Second, make sure that the blower motor control is properly adjusted to the correct reading on the Magnehelic gauge. Third, check for and remove any obstruction of the plenum. If these steps do not solve the problem, there may be a leak between the blower and plenum, or the filters may need to be replaced.

      If your Germfree Laboratory Equipment has an exhaust air imbalance, it may be due to several reasons. Check for any obstruction over the exhaust filter, and remove it if present. Ensure the blower motor control is properly adjusted by checking the Magnehelic gauge. Also, inspect the plenum for any obstructions and remove them. Note that if there is a leak between the blower and plenum or the filter is loaded, you should contact a certification company to repair the leak or replace the filters.
