Areas of application for LABCONTROL system components
Fume cupboards and room control in laboratories
Room control, e.g. in living spaces, conference and office rooms
Cleanrooms and sterile areas
Teaching and research facilities
Health and pharmaceutical sector
Examples of special application conditions
Chemical laboratories
Biological safety laboratories and genetic laboratories with safety stages S1-S3.
Laboratories with explosion protection requirements
Laboratories with special temperature requirements (Control by means of variable air change rates, coolers, reheaters)
Laboratories with special sound requirements and the use of sound attenuators
Cleanroom laboratories and trace analysis facilities with a sluice, pressure control and pressure monitor
Radioisotope laboratories with safety stages A-C
Advantages of the LABCONTROL system
Simple installation of volume flow controllers and accessories
Non-contact and wear-free detection of amount by which fume cupboards are open
No use of window contacts
Detection of all directions in which protective window can be opened (horizontal and vertical)
Simple and universal installation of sensor in laboratory furniture
High operating reliability due to self-monitoring function of system Constant volume flow balance thanks to very short response times and electronic networking of the systems.
Rapid amortisation of investment costs due to low operating costs
Energy efficiency from optimised operation of air handling systems
Adaptation to the prevailing application conditions
Reduced operation mode with a lower air change rate (night operation/possibility of switching mode)
Limitation of exhaust volume flow per room (taking into account of diversity factors)
Simple system adaptation to planning specifications and changing user requirements
The controller configuration can be adjusted on site as required:
Adaptation of all control parameters
Switching between monitoring of the volume flow or intake velocity
Configurable parameters for visual and acoustic alarm
Configuration of special functions with external switches and devices
Implementation of special functions through diverse switching options:
Central/distributed switching of volume flows
Integration of motion sensor for presence monitoring / reduced operation mode
Reversal of flow direction if there is pressure control
Simple connection to higher order systems due to use of standardised interfaces
Highest possible data transparency from the use of open and standardised systems
Provision of important system parameters in standardised form
Universal opportunities for the connection of control systems to central building control systems
Communication by means of LON bus technology, which enjoys widespread use in building automation
Communication by means of conventional signal transmission via 0-10 V analogue signals
