 NU-112 / 114 Clean Air Scrubbers

The NU-112 and NU-114 Clean Air Scrubbers are portable self-
contained units capable of filtering particulates where ISO
Class 7 or Class 8 Air Quality is a requirement. The Cabinet
utilizes rough disposable prefilters to help prolong the life
cycle of the main 99.99% HEPA filter. Each Scrubber can be
used in a variety of different locations, depending upon the
need for clean air.

NU-112 NU-114

Applications

This versatile unit can be used to recirculate air in a defined

area, or be placed between two distinct adjacent areas to act
as a positive or negative pressure and the outlet side will have
higher (positive) air pressure.

Construction
The AireGard 114 can be “built in” to a temporary wall or
hallway during construction or remodeling projects. Air can
be continuously drawn away from the contaminated area and
exhausted as clean HEPA-filtered air into the clean area. The
AireGard 114 can also be used within a construction area to
recirculate and purify air when ceiling tiles, walls, or plumbing
are disrupted or if fumes and odors are evident from cleaning,
