Quality Carbon Filters Optimize Fume Hood Performance

Ductless fume hoods rely upon activated carbon filters to protect personnel, processes and the laboratory environment and are therefore dependent on carbon quality.

A ductless fume hood is a self-contained laboratory enclosure that passes contaminated air through filters before returning the air directly to the laboratory. Ductless fume hoods are designed to be installed almost anywhere in a facility and offer a range of benefits that permit research, manufacturing and processing functions to proceed with safety and efficiency. As ductless units, they are not connected to an exhaust system. Therefore, they rely upon activated carbon filters to protect personnel, processes and the laboratory environment from hazardous fumes and vapors that result from chemicals used on the work surface.

HEPA vs. ULPA Filtration

Whether you choose ductless or ducted air filtration, HEPA and ULPA air filters are key in maintaining particulate protection.

However, not all HEPA/ULPA filters on the market are of the same quality. Low-cost HEPA/ULPA filters may seem like a bargain if considering price alone. Yet lower-cost options often exhibit a shorter life and greater potential for leaking, resulting in more frequent filter replacements over time.

Ductless Fume Hood Impact on Environment

Ductless fume hoods use activated carbon filtration to scrub chemicals from the air for a far more environmentally friendly option when compared to ducted varieties.

Ductless fume hoods are synonymous with savings. In addition to the total lifetime savings, ductless fume hoods also provide a lower environmental impact. Because fume hoods run 24/7, they are generally considered to be energy hogs. Ducted varieties are particularly bad because of the requirements for makeup air and emissions that are exhausted into the environment throu...
