TROX laboratory air management system installed for Quadram Institute
environmental performance in a major new clinical and research facility. The TROX EASYLAB system, incorporating TROX VAV controllers, specialist filters, grilles and diffusers, will assist Norfolk-based Quadram Institute to meet the stringent requirements for its world-class research. To meet the complex and critical
A
air management demands of the project, BuroHappold Engineering and SES Engineering Services worked in close co-operation with TROX UK to design and install the air management systems for the new site. During the design phase, wind tunnel
testing was carried out to determine safe fume efflux parameters for the scheme. TROX also analysed the air terminal device requirements of different zones in the building during the design phase, to determine the best possible
dedicated laboratory air management system, supplied by TROX, has been installed to optimise safety and
designs of grilles and diffusers to maintain the optimum safe and comfortable working environment for researchers, staff and patients. To account for the specific research operations carried out in separate departments across the site, TROX worked with the design team and other experts to determine the most appropriate HEPA filter cells and diffusers, and installed specific room pressure control capabilities for the Containment Level 3 labs, and volume offset tracking controls for the Containment Level 2 spaces. The resulting TROX EASYLAB room air management system installed in the new
facility ensures that supply and extraction of air is optimised automatically in each laboratory to maintain safe working environments. In addition, TROX Variable Air Volume (VAV) controllers ensure that the energy efficiency of the building’s central air conditioning and cooling system is also optimized for best-in-class environmental performance across the site as a whole. Ian Thomas, Product Technical Manager –
Air Products at TROX UK, commented: “The Quadram Institute will be carrying out essential research and it was important that the building itself could operate safely at all times, with advanced control of air supply and extraction to meet the stringent requirements. The TROX EASYLAB system will enable the Institute to continue its vital work, confident in the knowledge that the best possible systems are in place to ensure best-in-class performance.”
