Ductless Technology: The ECO friendly choice
Advanced carbon filtration technology offers a safe, high performance alternative to conventional ducted fume hoods for a broad range of applications.
-
Environmental Benefits
Air Science ductless fume hoods isolate and trap chemical vapors to prevent ecological impact through release into the environment.
-
Versatile
Each filtration system is selected for its specific application. The Multiplex Filter broadens the range of applications. Carbon filters are available in more than 14 configurations for use with vapors or organic solvents, acids, mercury, formaldehyde. HEPA/ULPA filters can be added for biological safety.
-
Easy to Install
The ductless fume hood is self-contained and does not require venting to the outside. Many units are portable and may be moved from one location to the next with minimal downtime and without filter changes. Set-up, operation and filter maintenance are straightforward.
-
Energy Efficient
Because filtered air is returned to the room no demands are required of the facility HVAC capacity for make-up air.
-
Cost Effective
Facility ductwork, HVAC and construction costs are eliminated.
-
Safe to Use
Cabinet airflow and face velocity protect users from incidental exposure to fumes.
-
Self-Testing
Electronic airflow monitoring assures continuous safety.

PRODUCT FEATURES:
A. Filter I.D. Window: A strategically placed front cover window shows the installed filter part number and installation date;encourages timely filter replacement.
B. Tempered Glass Side Walls: Clear side panels allow ambient light into the work area and provide a less obstructed view of the work surface.
C. Tempered Glass Siding Sash: When closed, the cabinet sash isolates the air within and protects interior work items from inadvertent external contact.
D. Spillage Tray: A black polypropylene spillage tray is removable for easy cleaning.
E. ECOair Touchpad Control Panel (shown): Security access color touch screen controller for set point, monitoring parameters and all operational and safety features.
F. Steel Support Frame: Chemical resistant coating.
G. Electrostatic Pre-Filter: 95.5% effective pre-filter, accessible from inside the work area to contain the release of any trapped particulates.
H. Pass-Thru Ports: For routing electrical cords and instrumentation leads as required.
I. Dynamic Filtration Chamber: Prevents any possible leakage of contaminated air by pressurizing the fan plenum (positive air) and depressurizing the filter compartment (negative air).
J. Stand: Optional stand.
K. Safety Filter: Optional carbon or HEPA/ULPA safety filter adds additional protection.
L. Track and Wheel system: Permits the filter wheels to glide into place on tracks before clamping tightly to the filter gasket; prevents damage during installation and assures filter integrity.
M. Modular Utility Package (Optional).
N. Ergonomic Arm Rest: An ergonomic arm rest improves user comfort and productivity.
OTHER FEATURES:
Smooth Sash Operation: The chain drive sash mechanism is quieter and smoother to operate than conventional counterbalanced design.
Sash Options: Manual sliding sash, standard. Optional motorized sliding sash or manual hinged sash are available; see accessories.
Power Supply: Operates on standard 120V, 60Hz, 1 phase power; other voltages available upon request.
Electronic Gas Detection System: Increases safety, provides four methods for filter monitoring and gas detection.
ECOair Controller
|
The ECOair Controller permits easy, intuitive management over the local cabinet. A sequence of color coded displays provides operating status at-a-glance. All setpoints, alarm parameters and other cabinet functions are established through the touchpad Options include the Filter Saturation Alarm, Monitair® Controller or ECOair control packages. See Accessories.
The Main menu screen provides all information, set-up and communications protocols. These include fan and lighting ON/OFF functions, access to the on-board filter information library, gas detector selection, set-up, alarms, user security access and networking configurations.
|
|
Home screen displays real time face velocity (in FPM or m/s) and gas detection levels at the primary filters.
|
|
Home Screen flashes YELLOW background as either face velocity and/or gas detection levels approach within 10% of their respective alarm setpoints.
|
|
Home screen flashes RED background and audio alarm starts as either face velocity or gas detection levels hit or surpass their respective alarm setpoints.
|
ECOair Controller with BACnet Control/Alarm/Monitoring
The BACnet operating system was developed under the auspices of ASHRAE as an internationally recognized, open source protocol for building automation. Now used in more than 30 countries worldwide, BACnet offers a universal management solution for optimal energy savings and environmental safety.
- While the Purair ECO operates flawlessly in a stand-alone mode with the standard controller, BACnet permits single or multiple cabinets to seamlessly tie-in to a reciprocal building automation protocol for supervisory control and monitoring.
- ECOair with BACnet allows the building network to monitor individual cabinet on/off status and route alarms to pre-designated addresses to warn of unsafe or dangerous conditions.
- Although other competitive systems include supervisory and monitoring functions operating on costly proprietary software platforms, the Air Science open-source BACnet solution fully integrates with more than 400 other manufactures to complete a holistic communications network without expensive proprietary programming.
ECOair Controller Features
The ECOair Controller maintains local supervision of all cabinet functions. The Main Menu screen provides all information, set-up and communications protocols. These include fan and lighting on/off functions, access to the on-board Filter Information Library, gas detector selection, set-up, alarms, user security access and networking configurations.
- The controller simultaneously controls and monitors all sensors, systems, alarms and switches including face velocity and gas detection levels.
- A color touch screen display is used for security access, set point and cabinet status.
- The Home screen is white during normal operating conditions.
- If pre-set warning parameters are surpassed for face velocity or gas levels the background will flash yellow to permit users ample time to mitigate the condition and return the system to normal.
- If no action is taken and conditions deviate beyond alarm set points the screen background will flash red and an audible alarm will sound.
- Concurrently, any emergency protocol programmed into the building alarm system will be activated.
- Additionally, a Press for Emergency button can be manually activated to set the unit into alarm mode and initiate the emergency protocol networked into the building alarm system.
- Filter maintenance and email notifications for filter re-order, service and waste removal providers can be programmed to initiate automatically through the networking feature.
Electronic Gas Detection System
The Purair ECO ductless fume hood provides four methods for filtration monitoring and gas detection.
- The PID analyzer contains an internal wide spectrum reference.
- A metal oxide array accommodates for hydrocarbons and VOCs.
- An acid array detects acid vapors.
- A colorimetric gas sampling port permits manual testing for a wide variety of substances. The front mounted sampling port is positioned for easy access.
- The Purair® ECO Series ductless fume hood maintains a constant face velocity of 100 FPM in compliance with USA and international standards for safety and performance. Contaminated air is pulled though the Multiplex filtration system where activated carbon adsorbs chemical vapors; clean air is returned to the room.
- The main filter is easy to replace; no tools required. The filter glides in on a wheel and track system, them clamps tightly against the filter gasket to prevent filter tears and to maintain filter integrity.
