Laboratory Exhaust Solutions from Critical Airflow

Proper airflow and ventilation in a laboratory or research facility requires an efficient and safe roof exhaust system. 

The Conventional solution to fume extraction was to install centrifugal exhaust fans with inherent tall, unsightly stacks that require expensive mounting hardware and guy wires. In addition, conventional fans often require frequent maintenance and parts replacement that add to the operating costs and downtime.

Critical Airflow, a subsidiary of the Berkeley Controls Group, offers a unique solution to the problem and eliminates all of the issues of conventional stacks with the application of the award winning third generation Tri-Stack System from Strobic Air.

Tri-Stack systems operate on a unique principle of internal and external exhaust dilution. They entrain outside air (up to 175% by volume) the resultant discharge plume (up to 150 metres high) produces an effective stake height to penetrate the building boundary layer and safely disperse exhaust into the free air stream.
 

       


The systems are low profile, aesthetically pleasing, direct drive, maintenance free, and save energy by 
reducing the static pressure within the overall duct system.

Critical Airflow offers customised, technologically advanced exhaust systems that are practical, cost-effective and energy efficient.
 
Key markets include:
  • Laboratory Fume Hood Exhaust Systems
  • Manufacturing Process Exhaust
  • Process Odour Control
  • Hospital Isolation Suite Exhaust
  • Bio-Containment Exhaust
  • Diesel Generator Exhaust

Developed in North America the Tri-Stack system from the Strobic Air Corporation is rapidly becoming the standard for many of the worlds leading Pharmaceutical and research companies.

Critical Airflow Controls import Tri-Stack systems into the UK, Eire and the Benelux counties where the systems conform without exception to all applicable European exhaust/ventilation standards

Tri-Stack systems offer unprecedented advantages for architectural specifiers and consulting engineers eliminating re-entrainment and noise at the property line as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing solution.
