We installed the Labconco hoods with ASP in our new EH&S Building and are putting them in our new 30 PI research facility

Everyone really like ours when they visit

There are adjustments that can be made (open or not on approach, on/off) but the controller is hiding behind a cover on the top of the hood o it's not a Ôuser only Ô decision to change things.

The Ôelectric eye' detector doesn't seem to see a clear glass tube but will stop when object are in the plane of the sash as it tries to close.

I've been waiting for this technology to be as affordable as it is now with the new hoods

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Automatic Fume Hood Closer

 

Hello All,

Has anyone ever installed or is now using an automatic sash closer in their research labs?

If you are, would you let me know if you found any safety issues with this type of system or if it delivered the energy savings you estimated? 

Thank you,

Mary Ellen
