DETECTION

An exclusive molecular filter saturation detection system

The exclusive GreenFumeHood® filtration saturation detection system is designed with 3 specific sensors

for the detection of a large spectrum of molecules

Solvents detection sensor

• Filter saturation detection above main filter level. • Adjustable sensitivity according to handled molecules.• Monitoring and traceability data via g-Guard® software.

Acids detection sensor

• Filter saturation detection above main filter level. • Monitoring and traceability data via g-Guard® software.

Laboratory air quality sensor

• Located on the fume hood front panel.• Detects laboratory ambient air pollution.

If main filter is saturated, an alarm is triggered and the safety back-up filter ensures maximum user protection.

Handling in progress can be safely continued without risk to the operator.

SAFETY

Users protection

Fire prevention sensor

• Temperature detection and alert system

• This system provides two detection levels - A first alert is triggered when the temperature reaches 60°C and remains steady - A second alarm is activated when the temparature into the enclosure reaches 80°C and triggers all fans to stop.

• Detects unusual temperature elevations into the enclosure.

• Controlled via g-Guard® software: an alert is displayed on the hood screen and transmitted to the monitoring PC.

Containment safeguard : Sash position detection

• Blower speed proportionally adapted to the sash opening height.

• Guarantee of the air face velocity > 0,4m/s-1 (according to the AFNOR NF X 15-211 standard).

• Statistics data usage via g-Guard® software.

• Alarm triggered when the sash height opening is beyond safety limits.

Fan Failure alarms

• Individual and real time fan monitoring.

• Alarm triggered in case of fan failure. Display of specific fan involved.

• Each operational fan parameters are displayed on the hood screen and via g-Guard® software.

Containment

EN 14175-3 European Standard

ASHRAE 110:1995 American Standard

A very high containment level guaranteed by the most stringent standards.

Enclosure containment efficiency

It is defined by the fume hood capacity to maintain chemical vapors within the enclosure without any propagation in the laboratory environment.

Containment efficiency proven by protocols described in the EN14175-3, ASHRAE 110:1995 and AFNOR NF X 15-211 standards.

Containment standards tests applied to a GreenFumeHood® are identical

to a ducted fume hood.

STANDARDS

Filtration

A safety standard for filtration fume hoods

Filtration efficiency according to the most stringent standard : AFNOR NF X 15-211

The Neutrodine® filtration system is compliant with NF X 15-211, the stringent industry standard developed by a committee of independent scientists and manufacturers specializing in filtration and safety.

The standard establishes stringent performance criteria at 100 times below the authorized TLV/OEL levels for the quality of the filtered air as monitored after the second layer of Neutrodine filtration media that a fume hood operator must be able to breathe during their professional lifetime without encountering any health risks.
