Space Plus Design Labs Introduces the Advanced “Aurelian” Bench Top Fume Hood Series: A Leap Towards Smarter, Safer, and More Sustainable Lab Environments
In the world of laboratory research and development, safety, efficiency, and innovation are at the core of every successful experiment. Space Plus Design Labs is proud to announce the introduction of our groundbreaking “Aurelian” Bench Top Fume Hood Series, designed to take laboratory safety and workflow efficiency to unprecedented heights. With cutting-edge technology, enhanced safety features, and energy-saving capabilities, the Aurelian Series is set to redefine laboratory standards, empowering researchers to work smarter, safer, and more sustainably.
The Evolution of Fume Hood Technology
Fume hoods have long been integral to laboratory environments, providing essential protection against hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases. Traditional fume hoods, while functional, often rely on manual adjustments, which can be inefficient and less energy-friendly. The evolution of fume hood design has led to the development of more advanced systems that integrate smart technologies to optimize both safety and operational efficiency.
The Aurelian Bench Top Fume Hood Series from Space Plus Design Labs takes this evolution even further. By incorporating Auto Sash Operation, Variable Air Volume (VAV) Technology, and an intuitive 4.3” International Quality HMI LCD Information and Control Panel, the Aurelian Series promises to revolutionize how laboratories operate. Let’s take a closer look at these cutting-edge features and explore how they can enhance lab safety, productivity, and sustainability.

Auto Sash Technology for Enhanced Safety and Energy Savings
One of the standout features of the Aurelian Fume Hood Series is its fully automated Auto Sash Operation. Traditional fume hoods require manual adjustment of the sash to regulate airflow, which can be cumbersome and prone to human error. The Auto Sash System automatically adjusts closes sash based on the presence of the user, ensuring that the sash is closed almost all the time when not in use.
This not only enhances safety by ensuring that the airflow remains optimal for hazardous materials but also reduces the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals and fumes. With Auto Sash, researchers can work with peace of mind, knowing that the system will close by itself when required. Add to this, the user has the option of choosing the timing of closure (after how much time the sash will close when there is no activity) and the speed also can be chosen by the user.
For situations where manual operation is needed, the Aurelian Series also offers a Manual Up/Down Function, allowing users to easily adjust the sash height as required. And even an option is provided to chose whether the Auto Sash open is required at all or not. That can be set/reset any time.
VAV Technology: Optimizing Airflow and Energy Efficiency
The integration of Variable Air Volume (VAV) Technology in the Aurelian Bench Top Fume Hood Series is a game-changer for lab environments. VAV technology allows the fume hood to dynamically adjust the airflow based on the sash position and the specific requirements of the experiment.
When the sash is closed or partially opened, the system reduces the airflow, resulting in significant energy savings. Conversely, when the sash is opened wider, the system automatically increases the airflow to maintain optimal ventilation. This intelligent adjustment minimizes energy consumption without compromising safety, making the Aurelian Series one of the most energy-efficient fume hoods available on the market.
Not only does VAV technology contribute to a greener, more sustainable laboratory environment, but it also reduces operating costs over time, as labs consume less energy while still adhering to rigorous safety standards.
4.3” HMI LCD Information and Control Panel
At the heart of the Aurelian Fume Hood Series is its 4.3” International Quality HMI LCD Information and Control Panel. This user-friendly, high-resolution touch interface provides real-time data and control over all key functions of the fume hood, from airflow settings to sash adjustments.
The HMI LCD panel allows users to monitor and adjust key parameters such as:
- Airflow levels: Ensure the fume hood is performing at optimal safety levels.
- Sash: Set and Control sash movements for greater safety and efficiency.
- System alerts and notifications: Receive real-time updates on system status, airflow issues, or temeprature inside hood / duct, etc..
The intuitive interface provides a seamless experience, allowing lab operators to make adjustments with ease, even during high-pressure experiments. The Aurelian Series empowers researchers to take full control of their work environment with the touch of a button, improving both productivity and safety.
Night Function and Settable Process Timer
For labs that require continuous processes or overnight operations, the Night Function and Settable Process Timer features in the Aurelian Fume Hood Series offer unparalleled convenience.
The Night Function ensures that fumes do not accumulate during the night when the hood isn’t actively operating. It does so by activating the blower at specific intervals, which can be customized by the user. This helps maintain a fresh and odour-free lab environment by morning.
Process Timer
Additionally, the Settable Process Timer allows users to program a timer to monitor the duration of ongoing processes. This timer can be set to track how long an experiment or procedure has been running, helping researchers maintain a clear timeline and monitor long-term operations. This feature is especially useful for experiments that require extended periods of observation or when multiple processes are running simultaneously.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency at the Core
Space Plus Design Labs is committed to creating solutions that prioritize sustainability without compromising safety or performance. The Aurelian Bench Top Fume Hood Series is designed to minimize environmental impact by integrating energy-saving technologies like VAV, Auto Sash Operation, and Night Function, all of which contribute to reducing the lab’s overall carbon footprint.
By optimizing airflow, energy usage, and chemical resistance, the Aurelian Series helps laboratories achieve better environmental outcomes while still providing a safer, more effective workspace for researchers.
Conclusion
The Aurelian Bench Top Fume Hood Series from Space Plus Design Labs is a true game-changer for laboratory environments. With its cutting-edge features, including Auto Sash Operation, VAV Technology, 4.3” HMI LCD Control Panel, Night Function, and Settable Process Timer, this fume hood series offers unmatched safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
