Laboratory Exhaust Fans Controls
It is important for controls on laboratory system to operate correctly, not only from a life safety aspect but also from energy savings and equipment life. Greenheck Vektor laboratory exhaust systems have a variety of levels in controls options. The system controls range from those that manage the all the components on the Vektor exhaust system to others that adjust discharge nozzles maintaining velocities with maximized plume heights and those that simply integrate and communicate with another control system operating on a building management system.
Controls logic and operable components are developed together as complete systems for seamless integration and coordination into lab applications.
OVERVIEW
Vektor System Control
The Vektor System Control (VSC) package offers a pre-engineered, stand-alone controller for laboratory exhaust fans. Components and sequences of operation easily integrate Greenheck Vektor exhaust fans into a variable or constant volume lab exhaust system.
Duct pressure modulation, fan speed, redundancy and fan rotation, isolation damper and bypass damper control are all handled by the Vektor System Control.
This control system is suitable for the following options and configurations:
