UK-based TEL has upgraded its airflow controllers and monitors with integrated gas sensors, enabling efficient monitoring of carbon filter saturation status to protect operatives against chemical contaminates.
Carbon filters absorb gaseous chemical contaminates and TEL’s integrated AFA4000/E/GS VAV, AFA4000/1/GS and AFA4000/2/GS CAV solutions enable laboratory managers using filtrated type recirculating fume cupboards, hoods and cabinets to monitor filter saturation status via a dynamic graph.
When saturation occurs, filtration is compromised and gas escapes. The sensor detects breakthrough, triggering an alarm to highlight the urgent need for filter replacement to ensure the respiratory protection of users.
The integrated units also count the filter’s time-run, sounding an alarm when it has fulfilled its manufacturer-designated hours and is due for replacement. The filters can also be retrofitted into existing equipment, enabling laboratory managers to cost-effectively improve the safety and efficiency of their facilities.
