Typical challenges in the laboratory environment.

The challenges most commonly faced in ventilation for laboratory environments involve the safety of the personnel, energy-efficiency, flexibility for changing the design ‘on the fly’, thermal comfort, suitable operation conditions, and reliability of the complete delivery.

Halton’s Vita Lab solutions control the fume cupboards’ and bio-safety cabinets’ airflow in line with demand and manage the supply airflow or pressure control for the laboratory room.

Halton Vita Room – Control Functions

Room controller  (VLR_M_RC) receives continuously updated actual total airflow rate of static pressure controller (VLZ)  via RS-485 field bus.

Room controller calculates the supply airflow rate setpoint so that the desired pressurisation or airflow balance is maintained  in the space; either negative, positive or neutral pressure.

Supply airflow rate is maintained at its setpoint by controlling the supply airflow damper (VLR_M_FG) using PID-principle and airflow measurement (VLR_M_FE) as feedback.
