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.

PRODUCT FEATURES:
A. Filter I.D. Window: A strategically placed front
cover window shows the installed filter part number
and installation date for convenience and to encourage
timely filter replacement.
B. Air Velometer: (Optional) An analog air velocity

C. Hinged Front Sash: When closed, the cabinet
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
be fitted with an optional polypropylene tray;
see Accessories.
M. Filter Door Key: Filter access keys prevent
unauthorized removal or accidental exposure to
dirty filters.

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.
Purair Basic products
are available in 3
standard sizes, each
with 4 configuration
options and metal or
polypropylene construction, totaling 24
standard models.
• High capacity air
handling system
delivers face velocity
of 100 FPM.
• A low airflow alarm
warns of insufficient
face velocity.
• The Air Science filter
assembly is easy
to access, easy to
change.
• A unique filter
clamping design
eliminates bypass
leakage outside
the cabinet.
• Accessories include
an optional filter
saturation alarm.
