Using thimbles to connect Biological Safety Cabinets to Variable Air Volume (VAV) Exhaust Systems

Abstract Variable-volume exhaust systems are a common feature of laboratory ventilation designs. By reducing exhaust airflow in proportion to the actual need, the system uses less energy to condition the make-up air. However, variable exhaust flows can disturb the critical pressure relationships between air flows in biological safety cabinets, which require a constant airflow to maintain ...

Biological Safety Canopy Exhaust Connection Saves Energy and Improves Overall Safety Performance

Abstract With environmental resources becoming more and more limited and energy costs on the rise, reducing energy consumption is an important consideration for every laboratory. It is especially important in light of an analysis published by the US Environmental Protection Agency concluded that laboratories consume five to 10 times more energy per square foot than typical office buildings.1 As ...

How to make oxygen sensors have a long life

It is a question we are asked frequently: How to make oxygen sensors have a long life? There are many things we can do, but also, more importantly, there are many chemicals and gases we can try to avoid to prevent contaminating your oxygen sensor and having to replace it sooner rather than later. Many oxygen sensors have cross sensitivity issues associated with them therefore it is ...

Innovative Technologies Result in a More Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Total Exhaust Biological Safety Cabinet

Abstract Biological safety cabinets (BSCs) provide the primary source of containment for microbiological research. Laboratories that need containment and removal of vapors, mists and particulates will often choose a Class II, Type B2 total exhaust BSC (Type B2). Because this type of BSC must be totally exhausted to the outside through a facility’s HVAC system, it requires a great deal of ...

FTIR Gas Analyzer Helps Pöyry in QAL2 and AST Compliance Measurements

Several EU directives and national laws in the European countries set requirements for continuous monitoring of flue gas emissions. Pöyry helps industrial plants meet stringent environmental standards by offering emission measurement services like compliance measurements, for example. We spoke to measurement team manager Paula Juuti at Pöyry about her work with emissions measurements ...
