VARIABLE VOLUME SYSTEMS FOR LABORATORIES WITH FUME HOODS.

Author(s) : MCGREGOR A.

Summary

STATES THAT TRADITIONALLY, LABORATORY FUME HOOD EXHAUST SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN CONSTANT VOLUME WITH MAKE-UP AIR TO THE LABORATORY 100 % OUTSIDE AIR AND CONSTANT VOLUME. WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF FUME HOODS THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE ENERGY PENALTY IN HEATING AND COOLING LARGE QUANTITITES OF OUTSIDE AIR. BY DESIGNING VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (VAV) SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT COMPROMISE THE SAFE OPERATION OF LABORATORIES, CONSIDERABLE ENERGY SAVINGS CAN BE REALISED. EXAMINES THE ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS OF THESE DIFFERENT CONTROL SYSTEMS AND DESCRIBES DIFFERENT CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR A VARIETY OF LABORAOYS PRESENTS A CASE STUDY SHOWING THAT ENERGY SAVINGS WILL RESULT IN A PAYBACK OF BETWEEN 1 AND 2 YEARS.
