Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AIR SCIENCE from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Air Science Purair FLOW and Purair LF clean benches?
The Purair FLOW and Purair LF are both standard clean benches that provide a HEPA-filtered, ISO Class 5 work zone. The primary differences are in dimensions and included components. For example, the Purair FLOW models (FLOW-24-A, FLOW-36-A, FLOW-48-A) have depths of 24 inches and heights of 35 inches, while the Purair LF models (VLF-48-A, HLF-48-A, VLF-72-A, HLF-72-A) have depths of 29 1/4 to 29 1/2 inches and heights of 42 1/4 to 42 7/8 inches. Some Purair LF models include a work surface, while others may require a base or stand. Both lines are fully assembled and include a blower.
What are the typical applications for Air Science clean benches?
Air Science clean benches are used in applications that require a particle-free work environment to protect products or samples from airborne contamination. Common uses include electronics assembly, pharmaceutical compounding, and laboratory sample handling. These benches are not intended for personnel or environmental protection, as they do not exhaust air away from the operator. They are suitable for non-hazardous tasks where the primary concern is product integrity. The ISO Class 5 work zone provided by the HEPA filter ensures that particulates are controlled within the work area.
How does the Air Science airflow monitor work with fume hoods?
The Air Science airflow monitor, such as the P5-24-XT-G, is designed to continuously measure and display airflow velocity in fume hoods. It provides an alert when airflow drops below safe levels, helping to ensure that the hood is operating within required parameters. The monitor is constructed from ABS plastic and has overall dimensions of 5 inches in length and 4 inches in width. It is compatible with manufacturer-specific fume hoods and can be used as a standalone monitoring device. This helps maintain safety by providing real-time feedback on airflow performance.
Are Air Science clean benches shipped fully assembled?
Most Air Science clean benches are shipped fully assembled, which simplifies installation and reduces setup time. For example, the Purair FLOW and Purair LF models are fully assembled and include a blower. Some models also include a work surface, while others require a separate base or stand. It is important to check the specific model specifications to determine what is included. The fully assembled design means that the unit can be placed into service quickly after delivery, provided that any required base or stand is available.
What sizes are available for Air Science Purair clean benches?
Air Science Purair clean benches are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different workspace requirements. The Purair FLOW line includes widths of 24 inches, 36 inches, and 4 feet. The Purair LF line includes widths of 4 1/8 feet, 4 3/8 feet, 6 1/8 feet, and 6 3/8 feet. Depths vary from 24 inches to 29 1/2 inches, and heights range from 35 inches to 42 7/8 inches. This variety allows users to select a bench that fits their available space and workflow needs. All models provide a HEPA-filtered, ISO Class 5 work zone.
