AirClean
Systems, the North American leader in ductless containment since 1992,
announces the introduction of its newest product line: Patriot Ductless Fume Hoods. Patriot ductless hoods incorporate much
of the advanced technology of AirClean's Independence fume hood with the cost
effective backbone of AirClean's AC4000 folding and sliding-sash ductless fume
hoods.
Patriot
ductless fume hoods feature the easy-to-use AirSafe
TM TOUCH automatic safety
controller for added operator safety. This color touchscreen controller
automatically increases or decreases blower speed to maintain the user's
pre-set face velocity, ensuring airflow is within standard operating
parameters. The current face velocity is displayed at all times. AirSafe TOUCH
also monitors the bonded carbon filtration bed, alerting the user audibly and
visually should filter saturation occur. Patriot features a unique ‘application
confirmation' sequence that is required with every use of the hood. AirSafe
TOUCH displays the approved chemical class for the hood, and waits for a
confirmation from the user before allowing the hood to be used.
In
addition to safety features, AirSafe TOUCH also provides a multi-language and
multi-unit capability not found in most ductless hoods. With the press of a
button, users can switch the controller language between English, Spanish,
French and German. Airflow can be displayed in both linear feet per minute
(LFM) and meters per second (m/s).
Patriot
ductless hoods eliminate the need for costly installation, ductwork and
over-built HVAC systems associated with traditional fume hood use within the
laboratory. An on-board energy meter, accessed via AirSafe TOUCH, displays the
real-time and life-time energy use of the hood.
AirClean
Systems' unique bonded carbon filtration is standard on all Patriot ductless
fume hoods. For added application breadth and capacity, Silconazyne
TM filtration
is also available for Patriot.
Patriot's
rolled-entry design combined with AirZone
TM baffling provides laminar flow
within the cabinet, preventing eddy currents and keeping fumes or particulate
from escaping the hood. Seamless, thermally welded polypropylene construction
means the Patriot will never rust, providing years of service life. All
electronics and blowers are post-filter, so they are never exposed to chemicals
used in the hood.
All
AirClean Systems ductless fume hoods are made in the USA and ship fully
assembled, requiring very minimal installation. Simply place on a cabinet,
stand or benchtop and plug into a standard 110V or 220V outlet. The Patriot
ductless fume hood can be installed and used within minutes of being removed from
its shipping container.
Patriot
ductless fume hoods will be available beginning in August. Folding sash models
are initially available in 36" and 48" widths, and sliding sash models are
initially available in 48" and 72" widths.
