Exhaust fume cupboard

laboratoryfor research laboratoriesfloor-standing

OverviewEnvair Technology Low Volume Fume Cupboard is engineered to reduce laboratory energy consumption and carbon footprint by lowering the amount of heated or cooled air extracted from the facility. Specified to operate at 0.3 m/sec face velocity (industry norm 0.5 m/sec), the unit achieves approximately a 40% reduction in extracted air volume. Independently tested to BS EN 14175-3, it exceeds requirements for inner plane containment, outer plane containment and robustness of containment.
