AirClean Systems Endeavour ductless fume hoods

AirClean Systems’ Endeavour ductless fume hoods feature the easy-to-use AirSafe NXT automatic safety controller for added operator safety. The colour touchscreen controller automatically increases or decreases blower speed to maintain the user’s preset face velocity, ensuring airflow is within standard operating parameters. The current face velocity is displayed at all times.

AirSafe NXT also monitors the bonded carbon filtration bed, alerting the user audibly and visually should filter saturation occur. Additionally, it displays the approved chemical class for the hood and waits for a confirmation from the user before allowing the hood to be used.

The controller also provides a multilanguage and multiunit capability not found in most ductless hoods, according to the company. 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 metres per second (m/s).

Endeavour ductless hoods eliminate the need for installation, ductwork and over-built HVAC systems associated with traditional fume hood use within the laboratory. An onboard energy meter, accessed via AirSafe NXT, displays the real-time and lifetime energy use of the hood.

Endeavour’s rolled-entry design combined with AirZone 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 product 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.

The ductless fume hoods ship fully assembled, requiring minimal installation. Simply place on a cabinet, stand or benchtop and plug into a standard 110 or 220 V outlet. The fume hood can be installed and used within minutes of being removed from its shipping container.
