First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for regulating airflow in a rodent containment system, comprising:
- setting an air pressure set point using a user interface comprising an air pressure set point input function;
sensing air pressure by an air pressure sensor disposed in the system;
sending the air pressure signal directly to a controller; and
balancing output of an air supply fan, air exhaust fan, or air supply fan and air exhaust fan by increasing or decreasing fan speed via the controller until the air pressure signal substantially reaches the air pressure set point;
whereby airflow is regulated in the rodent containment system.
