Fume Cupboards - Ducted News

Introduction
Clean Air Discovery High-Containment Ducted Fume Cupboard from WolfLabs
Clean Air Limited has unveiled the Discovery High-Containment Ducted Fume Cupboard, a pioneering solution engineered to deliver superior containment, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Designed and optimised using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), this latest addition to Clean Air’s portfolio sets a new benchmark for laboratory safety and environmental performance.
Built on decades of expertise in fume extraction technology, the Discovery model ensures the highest levels of operator protection while significantly reducing airflow volumes and operational costs.

Key Features and Benefits
- Exceptional Containment Performance: CFD-optimised airflow design eliminates turbulence and maximises fume capture efficiency, even at low face velocities.
- Energy and Cost Efficiency: Achieves up to 36% reduction in airflow volume, translating to lower energy consumption and reduced extract and air input system sizes.
- Enhanced Safety: Precision-engineered airflow control ensures reliable containment and protection in high-risk laboratory environments.
- Customisable Design: Configurable for a wide range of laboratory applications, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards.
- Data-Led Validation: Compatible with Clean Air’s FlowChex Net Zero Containment Testing for accurate, sustainable on-site performance verification.

A Commitment to Sustainability
Clean Air Limited is leading the fume cupboard industry’s transition towards net-zero emissions through data-driven design and responsible innovation. The company’s sustainability strategy is embedded across its product range and operations, offering customers the opportunity to reduce their own environmental impact.
Key sustainability highlights include:
- Net Zero Type-Testing: Traditional containment testing relied on sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), a greenhouse gas with a Global Warming Potential 24,300 times greater than CO₂. Clean Air’s Net Zero Testing eliminates the use of SF₆, saving an estimated 249 tonnes of CO₂e annually.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Continuous carbon reductions achieved every year from 2017–2024, even as company growth increased.
- Award-Winning Innovation: Recognised with the Sustainable Innovation Award at Lab Innovations 2024 for eliminating SF₆ from the fume cupboard supply chain.
- Climate Leadership: Active member of CEN, ISO, and BSI committees driving the development of sustainable laboratory standards.
- Net Zero Pledges: Proud signatory of the UK SME Climate Hub Pledge and the Bee Net Zero Commitment, reinforcing its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.

Cleaner Air, Greener Future
With the launch of the Discovery High-Containment Ducted Fume Cupboard, Clean Air Limited continues to demonstrate that high-performance laboratory safety and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
For laboratories seeking reliable containment solutions that support their sustainability goals, the Discovery range represents a proven, future-ready choice.
