Laboratory Exhaust Systems

Why use the Greenheck Vektor Laboratory Exhaust System?

The main objective of a laboratory exhaust system is to remove hazardous or noxious fumes from a laboratory, dilute the fumes as much as possible, and expel them from the laboratory building so that the fumes do not contaminate the roof area nor are re-entrained into the building make-up air system.

The Greenheck Vektor high plume dilution blower is a self-contained laboratory exhaust system which offers the following benefits:

• Significant plume rise without unsightly exhaust stacks that detract from the building aesthetics
• Significant dilution of laboratory exhaust effluent, reducing levels of contaminant concentration
• Inline mixed flow or side inlet centrifugal arrangements
• Reliable belt or direct drive systems
• Efficient and quiet blower technology
• Unique "vacuum shaft seal" (Vektor-MD) ensuring that hazardous or noxious fumes do not escape through the shaft opening (patent pending)
• AMCA class C or B spark resistant construction
• L10-200,000 hour minimum life fan shaft bearings
• Premium high efficiency motor, standard
• Application to constant or variable volume exhaust systems
• Efficient discharge nozzle design
• LabCoat, a two-part corrosion resistant baked polyester resin coating with zinc rich epoxy primer
• Safe and easy maintenance
• Flow applications from 1,500 - 90,000 cfm at up to 14 in. wg per fan
• Multiple fan assemblies on a factory provided common plenum
• Meets ANSI Z9.5, NFPA 45, UL 705, and ASHRAE Chapter 44 lab design guidelines.

Advantage - Ease, Flexibility, Efficiency, Reliability

• Keeping a low profile - compact Vektor rooftop units achieve significant plume rise without detracting from buildings' aesthetics
• Ensuring safety - high-velocity plume displaces the lab effluent high above the roof, reducing the possibility of contamination of the building's interior, exterior and surrounding neighborhood
• Systems are designated to be fast and easy to install. And, maintenance is safe and easy because all critical access components are easily accessible without disassembling the entire system
• Single source responsibility - Greenheck is a single source for laboratory exhaust fan systems and laboratory exhaust energy recovery systems
• Validated performance - the Vektor system designs undergo state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics and performance analysis.
