Honorable Mention at TCT Awards – Gas Ejector Assembly
Rapid prototyping with Labconco 3D printer technology, is enabling the ASHRAE 110 committee to quickly develop new tracer gas ejector technology (prototype pictured).
One of the goals of the committee is to develop a technology that can use alternative tracer gases, rather than the current tracer gas Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), due to its greenhouse gas potential. This new ejector will pave the way to a more environmentally friendly test methodology.
As Labconco continues to grow and advance our use of 3D printing to improve the speed of our manufacturing processes and durability of our equipment, Brent Griffith has garnered another honorable mention at the TCT Awards. These awards are the additive manufacturing world’s version of R&D 100 awards for design and innovation. The newly designed 3D printed gas ejector combines several parts into a single assembly.
The new tracer gas and ejector technology will also be less expensive, reducing the barrier to fume hood testing and paving the way for more hoods tested, and safer laboratory environment. All of us at Labconco can be very proud of the work Brent and the Engineering team are doing to remain on the top of the TCT Awards list as perennial contenders.
