AIRFLOW CONTROLLER AND MONITORS WITH INTEGRATED GAS SENSOR PROMOTE LAB SAFETY
ume cupboard manufacturers now have access to a new airflow controller and monitors with integrated gas sensor, en- abling laboratory managers to efficiently monitor carbon filter saturation status and protect operatives against chemical contaminates.
UK-based specialist electronic airflow control and monitor manufacturer and consultant, TEL, has upgraded its energy-efficient AFA4000/E VAV (variable airflow volume) airflow controller and AFA4000/1 and AFA4000/2 CAV (constant air- flow volume) airflow monitors to incorporate an or- ganic vapour type gas sensor.
Carbon filters absorb gaseous chemical contam- inates and TEL’s integrated AFA4000/E/GS VAV, AFA4000/1/GS and AFA4000/2/GS CAV solu- tions 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, trig- gering an alarm to highlight the urgent need for filter re- placement 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 manufac- turer-designated hours and is due for replacement. In addition to incorporating the units into cup- boards, hoods and cabinets at initial construction stage, manufacturers may retrofit them into any existing equipment, allowing laboratory managers to improve the safety and efficiency of their facilities cost-effectively.
TEL’s director, Richard Eady comments: “Our AFA4000/E/GS airflow controller and AFA4000/1/ GS and AFA4000/2/GS CAV airflow monitors with integrated gas sensors enable laboratory managers to efficiently ensure the respiratory protection of users against dangerous chemical contaminates.” TEL was established in 1969 and its energy-efficient products are available globally via an international network of distributors.
