AireGard ES (Energy Saver) NU-140 Vertical Laminar Flow Hood

AireGard ES (Energy Saver) model NU-140 is a bench top style Vertical Laminar Airflow Workstation (LAFW) designed to be used where clean airflow per ISO 14644-1 is required for the preparation of injectable drugs, IV solutions, tissue culture, optics, microelectronics, and more. Model NU-140 provides ISO Class 5 air over the work zone in a laminar vertical down flow pattern over the work surface providing product protection.

Performance

True Laminar Airflow

Unidirectional airflow moving along parallel lines in a downflow motion over the work zone at a constant velocity of 90 fpm (0.46 m/s) minimizes air turbulence within the work zone decreasing the potential cross-contamination.

Filter Load Capacity

The motor blower is positioned to produce even filter loading prolonging the life of the HEPA filter, automatically handling a 250% minimum increase in filter loading without reducing total air delivery by more than 10%.

Proper Lighting

External Fluorescent lighting provides a minimum of 90 (968) foot-candles (LUX) on work surface providing the illumination needed for repetitious work.

Technology

AeroMax Electronic Control Center

The AireGard™ ES NU-240 offers the latest digital microprocessor design technology for improved performance and safety. The Aeromax™ control system integrates a digital pressure sensor (PresurFlow™) to monitor airflow performance and displays activity through the LED interface. The Aeromax™ control system also integrates a DC ECM motor/blower controller that provides automatic compensation for both filter loading and line voltage variances. Aeromax ECS provides the following function:

• Motor Blower On/Off
• Lighting On/Off
• Alarm Silence with Ringback

Single Ultra-high Efficiency DC/ECM Motor with Optimally Engineered Fan

Single energy efficient DC ECM motor features an optimally engineered fan to maximize motor performance. The DC ECM motor uses less energy while containing more power increasing filter load capacity, extending the life of the HEPA filter, and in the end lowering your total cost of ownership.

HEPEX Zero Leak Airflow System

A vacuum surrounds a positive pressure plenum relative to the room. In the event of a leak via gasket failure, all contaminated air in the plenum is forced through HEPA filtration. The HEPEX™ system also works to provide accurate laminar airflow by evenly distributing plenum air over the supply HEPA filter. The flexible design eliminates any vibration transfer from the motor blower as well as creates a serviceable work environment for Certifiers after decontamination.
