Airflow control that adds value to lab equipment

The energy required to operate fume cupboards and biological safety cabinets can be significant. How effectively and efficiently they are ventilated reflects on the businesses that manufacture them but –  because it’s often considered independently – is largely outside of their control.

Integrating lab equipment with TEL’s specialist airflow control and monitoring solutions reduces that risk and offers significant benefits, because it is specifically designed to maintain lab safety and deliver operational efficiency.

Benefits for the end user

  • Energy and costs savings

Integrating TEL’s Variable Air Volume (VAV) airflow controls and monitors offers energy savings of up to 85% over Constant Air Volume (CAV) alternatives because they replace air precisely according to need.

  • Enhance attractiveness for funding and investment  

In addition to helping ed users meet their own carbon reduction strategies, reducing energy use can help align labs more closely with the CSR strategies of potential funders making them more attractive investment propositions.

Benefits for the manufacturer

  • Manufacturers that can offer energy-efficient airflow control with their products have considerable commercial advantage over competitors who have no control over the ongoing cost implications of using their products.
  • The knowledge and experience offered by our technical team helps significantly reduce  project risk – especially around timescales and technical challenges.
  • Product manufacturers can be confident that end user needs for efficiency, sustainability, safety and compliance will be met on time and within agreed budgets.
  • Our innovation-led approach aligns closely with the progressive values of end users and enhances the manufacturer’s ability to pre-empt and respond to evolving needs.
  • Our unique retrofit solution enables manufacturers to improve end user experience of products already in situ.

Integrating our pioneering airflow control and monitoring solutions with their products offers manufacturers genuine  differentiation from their competitors. That’s why, for more than 55 years, TEL’s VAV airflow control and monitoring products and solutions have been integrated with fume cupboards in labs all over the world.
