Energy Efficiency Consultancy EECO2 undertook a recent study to look at safely reducing fume cupboard capture face velocities (CFV) using CFoils from Mach-Aire to reduce fume cupboard energy consumption.
To remain competitive, pharmaceutical companies can no longer afford to continue to run over-compliant facilities that offer no additional benefits to product quality. Mach-Aire, a global specialist in the design and manufacture of fume cupboards, containment systems and aseptic pharmacy cleanrooms, recently patented an aerofoil device called a CFoil,1 which is designed to improve the containment (robustness) performance of fume cupboards, regardless of the air velocity at which they are operating.
By improving the containment of a fume cupboard it is possible to reduce safely the capture face velocity (CFV), reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
