Alnor LoFlo Balometer Capture Hoods

Low-flow terminals present unique measurement challenges: readings can fluctuate, turbulence is common, and added resistance from instruments can influence results. Alnor LoFlo Balometer Capture Hoods are designed to help you address these challenges with enhanced sensitivity and practical workflows.

Why LoFlo

• Sensitivity at Low Volumes: Helps you capture stable readings where standard hoods may struggle.
• Target Applications: Healthcare isolation rooms, patient care spaces, labs, and high-efficiency buildings with reduced design flows.
• Reporting Support: Optional data logging and export streamline documentation for audits and compliance reviews.

Measurement Techniques for Low Flow

• Steady Placement: Keep the hood steady and allow extra time for readings to stabilize.
• Multiple Reads: Take repeated measurements and average to improve confidence.
• Hood Selection: Use the hood size that best matches the terminal to reduce bypass and edge effects.
• Environmental Notes: Record temperature and pressure if density corrections are part of your method.

Workflow Advantages

• Lightweight Build: Reduce fatigue when measuring many terminals in a shift.
• Clear Interface: Read volumetric flow and status indicators at a glance.
• Accessories: Consider extension poles and protective cases for multi-floor facilities.

Selection Guidance

• Flow Range: Confirm the instrument’s specified low-flow range aligns with your applications.
• Data Requirements: Choose models with Bluetooth and app support if you provide detailed audit trails.
• Program Integration: Align measurement procedures with your facility’s ventilation verification plans.

For critical environments with low design flows, Alnor LoFlo Balometer Capture Hoods provide the sensitivity and usability that help teams document ventilation rates with clarity.
