Often this glass ware is required 24/7 and as such needs to be available as soon as possible. Therefore many labs on campus employ electrical drying cabinets that heat up a chamber to forcefully dry glassware much quicker. Due to the nature of this piece of lab equipment it requires a lot of power to dry the materials, in most cases 30kWh and more. Commonly these units have been brought many years ago and passed down from lab group to group. This means that they are poorly maintained, insulated and lacking appropriate energy efficiency measures such as on/off timers etc. The project scope is to replace and where possible rationalise the existing units across campus for more energy efficient units. There were 9 old, inefficient units found to be in operation on campus some of which were running 24/7. These units cost the university thousands of pounds to run each year and are responsible for tonnes of carbon emissions. A supplier specialising in energy efficient cabinets is required in order to provide brand new, efficient and safe units. The anticipated overall budget for these items is up to £24,000.00 excluding VAT. This project is to be funded by Salix Green Funding.
