How to Say "Laminar Flow Hood" in Spanish

campana de flujo laminar

/kampana de fluxo laminaɾ/from spelling rules

The English phrase "laminar flow hood" is translated into Spanish as campana de flujo laminar.

An enclosed workbench used in laboratories to prevent contamination by filtering the air passing over the work surface.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of campana (hood/bell), de (of), flujo (flow) and laminar (laminar).

The word campana is used for both a laboratory hood and a church bell. In Spanish, almost any object with a flared or bell-like shape shares this name.
The word flujo shares a common ancestor with the Spanish word flojo, which means 'loose' or 'slack'.
In a Spanish lab, you might hear a campana de extracción, which is a fume hood. While similar to a campana de flujo laminar, it pulls air away from the user rather than blowing filtered air toward them.
