The laboratory is a crucial setting as a controlled environment across industrial and academic research for pharmaceutical development. To ensure the quality of production samples, as well as to protect the safety of personnel operating within these environments, fume cupboards are essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable enclosures are important to protect the control system\u2019s electronics, and Spelsberg UK<\/a><\/strong> has been supplying a major manufacturer of airflow monitors and controls with customised enclosures to protect the control systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laboratory development and testing processes involve a range of potentially noxious chemicals and substances, and without a fume cupboard, the atmosphere within the lab can reach high concentrations of fumes, vapours, or dust. Temperature Electronics\u2019 systems regulate the air quality of lab and industry-scale production processes to ensure safety and production efficacy, and they are operating in thousands of laboratories across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplying fume cupboard OEMs and laboratory companies around the world, Temperature Electronics Ltd (TEL), headquartered in Glossop, Derbyshire, designs and manufactures airflow monitoring and control systems. TEL\u2019s technology is based on a proprietary airflow sensor that measures face or duct velocities.<\/p>\n\n\n

The sensor\u2019s key advantage is that its operation has no inherent drift, meaning that it provides stable, accurate readings across long-term operation, without the need for recalibration. This optimises safety and environmental conditions within a lab, while in conjunction with the controller, minimises energy use – benefits that are also important to large scale industrial plants, where TEL\u2019s control equipment is also installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting the PCB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEL applies its technology across a range of solutions, including laboratory room space controllers, that could host up to 64 fume cupboards, through to individual controllers for air ducts and sashes. The wide range of applications for airflow monitoring and control means that the company\u2019s services could be required for complete bespoke installations, through to retrofit of individual controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucial to each controller is the PCB, hosting the intelligence that achieves automated management to maintain the required environmental conditions. To protect the PCB and its power terminals, TEL\u2019s design includes industrial enclosures by Spelsberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough many of the controllers are installed in laboratories, they can also be used in industrial settings. Wherever they\u2019re installed, the enclosures must provide protection against impact, as well as moisture and dust ingress,\u201d explains TEL\u2019s Anthony Boyd.<\/p>\n\n\n

Durable polycarbonate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key benefit of polycarbonate construction is the ability to rapidly customise the enclosures. Spelsberg\u2019s housings are used across 14 different TEL products, each of which has distinct PCB connection requirements. This not only requires flexibility over specific terminal connections for each controller design, but its corresponding enclosure also needs to allow specific cable routing. As well as a mains power cable, the PCB requires various communications and I\/O cables that need entry\/exit points designed into the enclosure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
