Vektor Laboratory Exhaust Fans

Author: John Niesen PE, LEED AP

The most extensive line of laboratory exhaust systems in the industry! The two main objectives of a laboratory exhaust system are 1) removing hazardous or noxious fumes, diluting the fumes, and 2) expelling them at high velocity from the building to minimize the possibility of roof area contamination or re-entrainment into the building make-up air system. Vektor® systems safely discharge lab exhaust in life-safety applications.

Up, Up, and Away!

Vektor® fans with high-velocity discharge nozzles have multiple nozzle sizes available for each fan. These provide options in plume height, sound levels, and energy consumption requirements, for any lab project application. These fans are cost-effective solutions compared to the field built-up fan and stack assemblies. Have confidence in your fan to maintain the required exit velocity and meet ANSI Z9.5 guidelines!

Whether your application requires traditional high-plume exhaust or your design with the idiom ‘the solution to pollution, is dilution,” Greenheck has a discharge nozzle to fit your needs. Paired with our optional inline centrifugal, mixed flow, or centrifugal utility set fans, we can provide performance ranging from 500 to 122,000 CFM with the option to arrange multiple fans on a single assembly.

Recover $$ and Energy with Greenheck’s Energy Recovery Plenum!

Greenheck’s Vektor-ERS is a pre-engineered laboratory exhaust energy recovery system. In combination with our Vektor fans, this system effectively removes contaminated laboratory exhaust and disperses the exhaust high above the roof while recovering energy to aid in pre-conditioning make-up air. Vektor energy recovery exhaust systems utilize run-around coils to recover energy from the exhaust airstream and apply this energy to the make-up air system. Vektor-ERS offers a safe and efficient solution, eliminating the possibility of cross-contamination between exhaust and supply airstreams. Vektor-ERS run-around coil loops can achieve energy recovery efficiencies up to 55% to lower heating and cooling costs for the laboratory facility.
