Replacing an old ducted hood with an Erlab ductless one

Whether you are conducting scientific research in a biotechnology lab or teaching a chemistry lab class in an academic environment, Erlab’s advanced filter hood technology is designed to keep your environment safe. Unlike ducted fume hoods, Erlab’s filtered fume hoods capture and retain toxic gases, fumes, odors, and powders thus guaranteeing a safe environment for lab personnel while improving environmental sustainability.

Filtered Hoods are also considered environmentally friendly as they consume less energy and actually capture and retain harmful contaminants rather than just diluting them in open air. Studies have shown Filtered Fume Hoods to have a 94% lower operational carbon footprint when compared to traditional ducted fume hoods

The technology:

Utilizing the power of Erlab’s advanced patented carbon filtration technology our filtered fume hood systems work independently of the building ventilation system and ducts. Multi-layer, redundant filtration retains a broad range of noxious chemical vapors while simultaneously improving the air quality of the lab. The exclusive sensor technology continuously evaluates air quality and provides alarms.
Additionally, systems can be remotely monitored through mobile devices apps or computers.

With millions of operational hours and over 50 years of proven safety, Erlab’s units provide uncompromising safety and compliance with stringent AFNOR NF X 15-211: 2009 filtration safety standards as endorsed by ANSI Z9.5-2012 for over 650 chemicals.

Features:

• Chemical sensors: Built-in chemical sensors for continuous monitoring of contaminants and filter saturation. Redundant filtration technology prevents any leakage into lab air.
• Remote monitoring: With eGuard App, this device can be monitored and controlled remotely. The device's connectivity allows you to receive safety alerts in real time via your mobile, tablet, or PC.
• On-board intelligence: Smart Technology – An exclusive set of tools that is comprised of smart-light communication, chemical sensors, real-time status, and the eGuard app.
• Alarms: Provides visible soft band of light and audible alarms when airflow is compromised, fan fails and as a reminder that it is time to change your filters.
• Face velocity control: Automatically detects the face velocity, depending on the sash opening, and varies the fan speed to keep face velocity at optimum.
