Ventilation
Ventilation
Perhaps the most critical issue facing funeral service professionals is the need to provide safe air in the embalming room. Duncan Stuart Todd specifies and supplies state-of-the-art PrepAir G2 Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) and PrepArm Localized Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Systems for your preparation room.
-
PrepAir G2 HVAC
PrepAir G2 systems heat, cool and ventilate the entire preparation room with 100% fresh air while using less energy than traditional systems. PrepAir G2 Systems are the first fully integrated HVAC systems designed specifically to produce the results necessary to meet or exceed OSHA standards for safe air in preparation rooms.
Duncan Stuart Todd determines which energy efficient PrepAir G2 unit will work properly in your preparation room and provides CAD drawings and installation specifications.
-
PrepArm Localized Exhaust Ventilation
PrepArm LEV systems prevent toxic fumes from entering the breathing zone of the embalmer. LEV systems, recommended by the National Association of Funeral Directors (NFDA) and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are supplemental to whole room exhaust.
Five available PrepArm models accommodate installation considerations and address single and multiple station embalming room configurations.
