More than ever before, researchers are under pressure to reduce the costs of their work. Because of this, energy efficiency is increasingly becoming an important concern for our customers.

The Baker Company’s newly released FlexAIR canopy exhaust connection offers significant energy and cost savings to the laboratory, without sacrificing safety and performance. Baker FlexAIR technology combines the security of a traditional canopy (or thimble) exhaust connection with the lower exhaust flows of a traditional hard exhaust connection.

With a FlexAIR canopy exhaust connection (CEC), only the minimum amount of air necessary to achieve cabinet exhaust containment is used, Adding a FlexAIR CEC reduces the amount of exhaust required to operate a biological safety cabinet by 15% to 18%. Even more importantly, productivity levels remain high and safety for both the product and personnel exceed NSF standards even when the building’s exhaust system fails.

Baker’s FlexAIR works by utilizing dynamic front and side panels that open or close depending upon the variances in exhaust flow rate. The front panel automatically opens in the event of exhaust system slowdown or failure, allowing the cabinet to maintain Class II, Type A2 BSC performance. Additionally, the FlexAIR is equipped with an audible and visual alarm feature to let workers know when the house exhaust system has slowed down or stopped. This may be important if work includes the use of volatile organic solvents, gases, or vapors (which are not captured by HEPA filters).
