Description
LAAS-3200 HOC, A Remote Smoke Removal System
A ducted smoke eater is designed to be placed in an adjacent space. What is an adjacent space?
- An Attic above the smoking room
- The Basement or garage below the smoking room.
- A room next to or within 40′ of the smoking room
- A dedicated Mechanical room.
- A water proof enclosure outside or on the roof.
By placing the smoke removal equipment in a adjacent space we are able to much better isolate the noise associated with air purification.
Product Fact:A Ducted Smoke Eater (DSE) is a commercial air purification system designed to remove cigar smoke, odors, and airborne particles by moving contaminated air through ductwork to a centralized filtration system.
The HOC Filtration System
The LAAS-3200 HOC utilizes three stages of filtration designed specifically for smoking environments.
Stage 1: Pre-Filter
Captures larger airborne particles before they reach the primary filtration stages. This extends the life of the downstream filters while reducing maintenance costs.
Stage 2: True HEPA Filtration
The HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including smoke particulate, ash, and other contaminants commonly found in smoking environments.
Stage 3: Activated Carbon Odor Control
A deep-bed activated carbon filter adsorbs smoke odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and gaseous contaminants that particulate filters cannot capture.
Together, these stages provide comprehensive control of both visible smoke and the odors associated with cigar, cigarette, and cannabis smoke.
Product Fact:
No Single Filter Removes All Smoke Contaminants. Effective smoke removal requires multiple filtration technologies. The LAAS-3200 HOC combines pre-filtration, True HEPA filtration, and activated carbon adsorption to address particulate matter, smoke haze, and odor-causing gases.
1,000 CFM Capacity, 750 CFM for Efficiency
The LAAS-3200 is capable of moving up to 1,000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM), providing substantial airflow for smoking rooms, cigar lounges, and other specialty environments.
While 1,000 CFM represents the system’s maximum output, most installations are intentionally designed around a 700 to 800 CFM operating range. Operating below maximum capacity offers several advantages:
- Lower sound levels
- Reduced energy consumption
- Additional airflow reserve as filters load over time
- Improved long-term system efficiency
- Extra capacity at peak occupancy
This design philosophy gives the LAAS-3200 the flexibility to maintain performance as conditions change, while keeping the smoking environment comfortable and quiet.
Product Fact:
The LAAS-3200 Is Designed Around a 700–800 CFM Operating Range. While the LAAS-3200 is capable of moving up to 1,000 CFM, most installations are intentionally designed around 700 to 800 CFM. This operating range provides a balance of performance, comfort, efficiency, and reserve capacity while maintaining the ability to respond to changing room conditions and peak occupancy periods.
Duct Connection Options
The LAAS-3200 is designed to integrate with a wide variety of commercial and residential duct systems. While most installations utilize standard 12-inch round ductwork, the system can be adapted to accommodate different duct sizes based on room layout, available space, airflow requirements, and architectural constraints.
Common duct configurations include:
- 12″ Round Duct — Recommended for most installations
- 14″ x 14″ Square Duct — Lower air velocity and quieter operation
- 10″ Round Duct — Useful where installation space is limited
- 8″ Round Duct — Suitable for short duct runs and specialty applications; This option should only be used in special conditions where integration only works with exceptionally small duct sizes
For most cigar lounge and smoking room installations, a 12-inch round duct provides the best balance of airflow performance, installation ease, and operating efficiency.
LakeAir can assist with duct sizing recommendations based on room dimensions, duct length, desired airflow, and installation requirements.
Product Fact:
Duct Size Has a Direct Impact on System Performance.The size and shape of ductwork influence airflow velocity, system resistance, and sound levels. Larger ducts generally reduce static pressure and air velocity, while smaller ducts increase resistance and may require higher operating pressures to achieve the same airflow.
Control Options
The LAAS-3200 can be configured with several control methods, allowing the system to be tailored to the needs of the installation and the preferences of the owner.
- On-Board Speed Control: A rotary potentiometer mounted directly on the unit provides simple airflow adjustment during installation, commissioning, and service
- Remote Wall Control: Optional Bluetooth-enabled wall controls allow fan speed adjustments from inside the smoking room without requiring access to the equipment location.
- Integrated Bluetooth Control: For maximum convenience, Bluetooth controls can be built directly into the unit, allowing wireless adjustment of airflow and operating speed.
Product Fact:
The LAAS-3200 Supports Multiple Control Methods. The LAAS-3200 can be configured with on-board speed control, wall-mounted controls, Bluetooth-enabled wireless control, and building automation integration. This flexibility allows the system to be tailored to residential smoking rooms, commercial lounges, and larger managed facilities.
Power Connection Options
The LAAS-3200 can be supplied with a variety of electrical connection options, including:
- Standard power cord: 9 feet, three-prong connection
- Hard-wired electrical connection: Wired directly from the circuit breaker
- Home and Building Automation Integration: The LAAS-3200 can be integrated with many home automation and building management platforms. Depending on the control package selected, the system can be incorporated into centralized control systems, automated schedules, occupancy-based operation, and custom control strategies.
Product Fact:
Power Requirements Should Match the Installation Environment. Commercial air purification systems can be connected in several ways depending on local electrical requirements, building design, and maintenance preferences. Some installations favor simple plug-in operation, while others require hard-wired connections or integration with facility control systems.
