Low Volume Fume Cupboards

Save energy with a low volume fume cupboard

The TCS range of fume cupboards complies with the requirements and recommendations of BS EN 14175.

The low volume fume cupboard reduces the amount of heated or cooled air extracted from the laboratory and thus reduces the energy consumption of the laboratory.

The norm for fume cupboards for many years has been to run fume cupboards at 0.5m/sec face velocity. With the drive to reduce energy bills and carbon footprints, we have developed a low volume range of fume cupboards which are designed to run at 0.3m/sec face velocity achieving a 40% reduction in air volumes.

Independent testing of the low volume fume cupboards to BS EN 14175-3 has confirmed that the low volume fume cupboard easily exceeds the standards for inner plane containment, outer plane containment and robustness of containment.

A large number of these low volume fume cupboards have already been installed in industrial and University laboratories throughout the UK.

Please contact our applications specialists at sales@gpescientific.co.uk to discuss your requirements.

The TCS low volume fume cupboards are available 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm and 2000mm standard widths, however bespoke sizes of external and internal widths, depths and heights can be easily manufactured.

The TCS low volume range has double angled side mullions each 150mm in width to accommodate the mechanical and electrical services.

The fume cupboard design is adaptable for use as either a constant air volume or variable air volume design.
