      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.

      If the Germfree Laboratory Equipment exhibits low air velocity, there might be several reasons. Check for any obstruction in the plenum and remove it. Note that if there is low voltage on house current, the filter is loaded, there is an improper adjustment of the blower motor, or a leak between the blower and plenum, you should contact a certification company to measure voltage, replace filters, adjust to proper reading on Magnehelic gauge or repair leak.

      If your Germfree Laboratory Equipment is experiencing high air velocity, it could be due to several reasons. Remove any obstruction from the exhaust air outlet. Adjust the blower motor speed control to the proper reading on the Magnehelic gauge. Note that if there is an exhaust filter rupture, a supply filter rupture or a supply filter gasket leak, you should contact a certification company to replace filters or repair leak.
