Project Description:
Proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of a single fan multi-stack laboratory exhaust system that reduces annual fan energy by 50%.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A prototype system will be fabricated and tested.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to save on average 50% of the fan energy consumed by conventional laboratory exhausts systems.
§ Retrofit payback period of only four years.
