FumeGard NU-156 Vertical Laminar Airflow Fume Hood for High Acid and Trace Metal Analysis Use Constructed almost entirely of polypropylene, this fume hood contains the HEPEX™ Zero Leak Airflow System, available only from NuAire. The HEPEX™ system prevents uneven particulate loading by eliminating direct blasts to the HEPA filter, dispensing air over 100% of the surface. The system surrounds positive pressure airflow chambers and ducts with negative air pressure relative to the laboratory. This limits the possibility of leaks and guards against filter failure. The FumeGard NU-156 is designed and...

FumeGard NU-162 Conventional Fume Hood The FumeGard NU-162 is built primarily of stressrelieved polypropylene to which NuAire has added anti-oxidizing agents and UV stabilizers. This increases tensile strength and improves thermal characteristics. NU-162 has a single piece airfoil across the bottom of the work access opening. As the sash is lowered, the face velocity increases rapidly. Fumes, gases, vapors, aerosols, and particulate are drawn through vents by an exterior exhaust duct. “Double wall” construction forms the plumbing chase for routing and connecting all services. This compartment...

FumeGard NU-164 By-Pass Fume Hood Constructed of stress-relieved polypropylene, the FumeGard NU-164 has a by-pass (protected by a grill) which maintains a constant volume of airflow. As the sash is closed, air is by-passed at the top of the hood, causing the hood face velocity to increase much more slowly than a conventional fume hood. A deflector vane across the bottom of the opening directs airflow across the work surface. This provides a permanent opening even when the sash is closed. Most of the exhausted air enters the fume hood through the by-pass. The eye-level Control Center has on/off...
