Air Science has introduced the DWS downflow workstations, a range of small bench-mounted units with unrestricted access for operations that are difficult to perform in a conventional fume hood.
The units operate at low noise levels and recirculate air so that expensive conditioned and/or heated air is not exhausted into the atmosphere.
To provide protection, the downflow action takes contaminated air away from the operator and an alarm will sound when the airflow falls to an unacceptable level.
The main filter can be chosen from 14 different types of carbon, which include specialty media for vapours of organics, solvents, acids, mercury and formaldehyde.
HEPA filters for particulate filtration are also available to suit the application.
