Selecting And Applying The Correct Fume Exhaust Fan System

Andy Bosscher, Twin City Fan & Blower

The correct selection and application of laboratory exhaust fan systems is integral in creating an energy efficient and sustainable hi-tech facility. Selecting the correct laboratory exhaust fan can be much more involved and technical than when selecting almost any other fan type. Properly applying techniques like using additional bypass air to achieve the required plume height without draining excessive energy from the building as well as maximum and minimum building flow and other methods can also be extremely useful. Also, supplying clear and concise specifications and schedules that correctly identify the end user's current and future needs while using current industry terminology will ensure that the customer is receiving exactly what they require and prevent unforeseen issues in the field during installation and startup.
