The Allentown P/NC IVC system allows users to select the pressure mode on the exhaust blower, and the entire rack of cages can run at either a positive or negative cage environment on the entire rack. Both supply and exhaust air are always HEPA filtered, for protection of animals and staff, in either operation mode. The rack is extremely sturdy, with typical Allentown workmanship and quality.

Airflow

In either positive or negative operating mode, the airflow will always follow the same path, eliminating the risk of contamination. HEPA filtered supply air is introduced to the cage through our unique air distribution "bullet", providing an even, low velocity wash across the cage bottom. This maximizes the drying effect upon the bedding without creating distress to the animals, allowing extended change out intervals. Exhaust air is then extracted through the spring loaded exhaust port and into the aerodynamically designed exhaust collection tube. Both the spring loaded exhaust port and the supply kup with the auto-closure channel provide a closed system when the cage is removed from the rack. The fully gasketed and sealed exhaust and supply manifolds and plenums are typical Allentown workmanship. Airflow loss is minimized, creating the most air efficient system for maximum filter life and minimal energy consumption. However, the entire air distribution system can still be fully accessed, without tools, to allow thorough cleaning and inspection.
