Laboratory Exhaust Systems

The Vektor®-H is a cost-effective, self-contained, high plume laboratory exhaust system

designed to remove hazardous or noxious fumes from a laboratory, dilute the fumes with
bypass air and expel them from the laboratory building so the fumes do not contaminate
the roof area or are re-entrained into building make-up air systems.

Benefits of the Vektor-H:

• Licensed to bear the AMCA Seal for Sound and Air performance
• Applicable to constant or variable volume exhaust systems
• Meets ANSI Z9.5, NFPA 45 and ASHRAE guidelines
• Performance capacities from 500 - 26,000 cfm and up to 4 in. wg per fan
(800 – 44,200 m3/hr and up to 1,000 Pa)
• Configurable in single, double or triple fan systems
• Spark B resistant construction

Greenheck Fan Corporation certifies that the Vektor-H

laboratory exhaust fans shown herein are licensed to
bear the AMCA Seal. The ratings shown are based on
tests and procedures performed in accordance with
AMCA Publication 211 and AMCA Publication 311 and
comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified
Ratings Program. The Ratings Seal applies to sound
and air performance as shown in the Vektor-H

Chemical Emission and Odor Dispersion –

Plume Height Calculations
The effective plume height is an important factor in
designing exhaust systems servicing laboratories. The
effective plume height needs to be high enough to
avoid exhaust re-entrainment into the same or adjacent
hr2
buildings. Fan discharge type, concentration levels and
airflow volumes all affect the needed effective plume he2
height. The effective plume height (he ) is the physical
height of the fan system (hs ) plus the plume rise (hr ).
ASHRAE 2015 Applications Handbook (Chapter 45) on hr1 he1
laboratory design and the Greenheck CAPS program
use a geometric formula called momentum flux equation
to calculate plume rise (hr ). The formula takes into hs
account downwind distance, height of the building,
prevailing wind speed and the terrain factor surrounding
the building.

Standard Construction
Features and Options
1 Nozzle - High velocity, conical discharge nozzle reduces system effects associated with a
quick or abrupt reduction in the discharge stack diameter.
2 Extension - Standard component on sizes 9 through 22 to increase the overall system
height to a minimum of 10 ft (3 m) above the roof deck. The extension is manufactured
from welded steel and coated with LabCoat.
3 Motor Cover - Designed to protect the motor and drive components from rain,
moisture, dust, and dirt. The motor cover is manufactured from welded steel and
coated with LabCoat.
1
4 NEMA-3R Toggle Disconnect Switch - Factory mounted and wired NEMA-3R switch
is available to disconnect power before performing field service work.
5 Drives - Belts and sheaves are sized for 200% of motor horsepower with a minimum
of two belts.
6 Motor - Premium efficient, standard NEMA frame, TEFC motor with 1.0 service factor
when used with a variable frequency drive (VFD) and 1.15 service factor with across
the line operation.
7 Wheel - A backward-inclined, non-overloading wheel manufactured of welded
aluminum and coated with Hi-Pro Polyester.
8 Bypass Air Plenum (optional) - Facilitates the addition of ambient air to the exhaust
airstream. The additional air increases the dilution of the exhaust air and also 2
increases the discharge momentum resulting in greater displacement above the
roof. On variable volume systems, the bypass air plenum and damper allow the
reduction of lab exhaust volume by adding ambient air to the exhaust airstream.
This allows the fan to run at a constant speed without the need for a variable
frequency drive. Bypass air plenums are constructed of heavy-gauge welded
steel and are coated with LabCoat.
9 Isolation Damper (optional) - A parallel blade damper used to allow
maintenance on a fan while others are in operation. The isolation damper also 4
prevents backflow on a redundant fan while the system is operating. Dampers
are fabricated of steel or aluminum and are coated with Hi-Pro Polyester.
3
Control options are gravity or electric (2-position, spring return) actuators.
10 Bypass Air Damper (optional) - Opposed blade damper used to bring
ambient air into the fan system for additional dilution or an increase in plume
5
rise. Dampers fabricated of steel are coated with Hi-Pro Polyester. Control
options are electric or a manual quadrant.
6
11 Weatherhood - (included with Bypass Air Damper) Designed to protect the
bypass air damper and actuator (optional) from rain, moisture, dust, and dirt.
Weatherhoods are manufactured from welded steel and coated with LabCoat.
7
12 Roof Curb - A structural support fabricated of 14-gauge galvanized/
galvaneal steel structurally reinforced to provide a minimum wind- 9
load rating of 125 mph (200 km/hr) without the use of guy wires on
the installed Vektor-H system.
Drain Connection - A drain connection located at the bottom of 8
the fan housing allows for removal of any rain or condensation. An
additional drain (standard) is located at the bottom of the bypass air
plenum.
11
Fasteners - All fasteners provided are stainless steel for additional 10
corrosion-resistant protection.
12
Spark-Resistant Construction - All size fans are manufactured to
meet AMCA type “B” spark-resistant construction (aluminum wheel
and shaft seal).
Bearings - Air handling quality bearings in excess of L10 -
100,000 hour bearing life (equal to L50 - 500,000 hrs).
Nylon extended lube lines allow for fan bearing lubrication.
