Comparison between a fume extraction cupboard and a Captair recirculating fume hood |
||
| |
Fume extraction cupboard | |
| Energy cost of a fume extraction cupboard (estimated cost per year) | 4100 euros | 250 euros |
| Average cost for a pool of 750,000 devices* | 3 billion euros | 190 million Euros |
| Electricity consumed by these 750,000 devices | 12 250-megawatt power plants | 0.8 250-megawatt power plants |
An independent study* has shown that the contribution brought by the use of ducted fume hoods with regards to the overall energy consumption in laboratories is far from being negligible. In fact, each ducted fume hood would be responsible for consuming 3.5 times more energy than the average size home. Our molecular filtration technology, based on super-activated carbon, serves mainly to protect the user, but also:
