INTRODUCTION
The Purair® Basic ductless fume
hoods are a series of high efficiency
products designed to protect the
user and the environment from
hazardous vapors generated on
the work surface. At the heart of the
Purair fume hood product line is
the innovative Air Science Multiplex
Filtration Technology that creates
a safe work environment over the
widest range of applications in
the industry.
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 and formaldehyde. HEPA/ ULPA filters can add to 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 down-time 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 exposures to fumes.
Self testing. (selected models) Electronic air­flow monitoring assures continuous safety. An electronic gas sensor monitors carbon filter performance.
Made in the U.S.A.
This Product Exceeds OSHA, ANSI and Other International Standards.

sash protects the contents from inadvertent external contact, and better isolates the air within. The sash is easy to open and close.
D. Control Panel: Electronic controls and displays
include switches for the blower and low airflow alarm.
E. Steel Support Frame: The chemical resistant
epoxy coated steel frame adds mechanical strength. Optional all polypropylene construction is available if desired; see Accessories.
F. Electrostatic Pre-Filter: The 99.5% effective
electrostatic pre-filter is accessible from inside the chamber to contain the release of any particulates that it traps. The pre-filter can be changed while the unit is operating to prevent operator exposure to chemical vapors.
G. Pass Through Ports: Electrical cords and
cables are safely routed into the cabinet through ports on the back and side walls.
H. Color: The cabinet is white with blue trim;
side and back panels are clear.
I. Airflow Alarm: A continuous air velocity monitoring
system alerts the operator upon unacceptable values.
J. Internal Manual Speed Controller: Authorized
personnel may set the centrifugal fan motor speed as desired.
K. Stand: Optional mobile cart with locking casters.
L. Work Surface: The internal work sur face can

M. Filter Door Key: Filter access keys prevent
unauthorized removal or accidental exposure to dirty filters.

THE AIR SCIENCE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE
Each Air Science fume hood includes features expressed through sound design and certified quality construction. Options and accessories add functional performance to meet specific applications.
Professional Quality. Air Science fume hoods comply with current technical and safety regulations.
Multiplex Filtration. The Air Science Multiplex™ Filter offers a range of options for high performance.
Industrial
Components.
The cabinet frame and work surfaces are durable and chemically resistant.
Reliability. Internal systems are isolated from fumes, extending product life.
Ductless Fume Hoods 24 • 36 • 48
Basic control panel. Standard on Purair Basic Models, Includes On/Off switch and low airflow alarm.
Optional Advanced control panel with hour meter to aid in determining available filter life and Filter Satura- tion Alarm (FSA). The FSA adds an electronic gas sensor and emits audio and visual alerts when the main filter needs to be changed.
Air Scie nce fume hoods use energy-efficient ebmpapst™ brand centrifugal blowers for long life, and depend­able performance.
AIR SCIENCE MULTIPLEX FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
Multiplex Filtration consists of a pre-filter and main filter to create a combination of chemical and physical architecture customized to each application. The mechanical design enhances safety, convenience and overall value.
• The electrostatic pre-filter is accessible from within the cabinet.
• A filter clamping mechanism allows for the filter to be
easily installed and ensures an even seal at the filter peripheral face at all times to prevent bypass leakage.
• The filter chamber prevents con­taminated air from contacting internal cabinet mechanisms.
• The main filter number and installation date are displayed in a front-access window.
The Air Science carbon filtration technique is based on enhanced, activated carbon particle formulations from specially selected, naturally occurring raw material superior to
wood or other organic sources. The carbon is treated to attain the proper porosity and aggregate surface area and to react with several ranges of aerosolized chemicals moved through the filter by an air handling blower.
• The multiplex option permits one or more filtration options to be combined to meet a wider range of multiple-use applica­tions. Multiplexing permits configuration for the capture of acids, bases and particulates such as biological aerosols when paired with HEPA or ULPA filters.
• The Air Science carbon filter is a self-contained assembly sized to fit the specified product model number, and configured to optimize airflow across 100% of the filter surface area for maximum efficiency, prolonged filter life, optimal diffusion and saturation capacity, and user safety.
Air Science is the single source supplier for all pre-filters and carbon filters used in its products, plus those of many other manufacturers.
This Product Exceeds OSHA, ANSI and Other International Standards.
