E3 Energy efficient drying cabinets
Typically unefficient and expensive to run, Genlab’s new “E3” range of glassware drying cabinets are unique – first to market, energy efficient, safer and cheaper to run.
Working with the University of Cambridge, Genlab has developed units that represent a novel, sustainable solution to glassware drying. In addition they’re much easier to use.
Key features include:
- Fully insulated with adjustable vent cover
- Integral 7 Day timer with display
- Digital controller with fixed over-temperature
- Safety cut-out
- Adjustable shelf runners with removable
- Chrome shelves
- Lockable castors on the 425 and 885 litre models
- Easy clean powder coated body with toughened
- Glass doors
Benefits & cost saving:
- Low energy consumption – ≥50% lower than traditional cabinets
- Low heat output – reducing air conditioning costs
- Fully insulated – safer for end users
- Easy, specific temperature controller
- Integral programmable 7 day timer – ON/OFF to reflect your needs
- Convection or fan – heat up time < 1 hour

Moisture removal – convection vs. fan circulation*
| Unit – set at 75°C | Water loss (g/hr) | kWh/day |
| Unit A (82 l) | 22.02 | 11.184 |
| E3 Convection (100 l) | 22.80 | 5.560 |
| E3 Fan (100 l) | 43.56 | 8.350 |
E3 fan units are able to remove approximately double the moisture of a convection unit, the time taken to dry a load is therefore halved. As a result the energy used to dry a load is actually lower for a fan unit compared to a convection unit.
*Note: All units tested were at a set temperature of 75 °C (empty chamber) and the ambient temperature was 22 °C. Energy consumption figures will differ based on unit set temperature and ambient conditions.
