Product Description
Most fume hoods share common design characteristics. High performance fume hoods incorporate additional or modified components. The basic fume hood components include the hood body, sash, work surface, exhaust, and baffles.
1. Hood Body
The housing of the fume hood provides the containment for hazardous gases and vapors or the physical barrier between the containment and the outside air.
2. Work Surface
The work surface or deck is generally a laboratory bench top.
3. Exhaust Plenum
The shape and location of the exhaust plenum helps to distribute air flow evenly across the hood face. Materials such as paper towels drawn into the plenum can create turbulence in this part of the hood, resulting in areas of uneven air flow and poor performance.
4. Air Foil Sill
The air foil sill is located along the bottom edge of the fume hood. The air foil performs several important functions:
• It streamlines the airflow into the hood around the edge, reducing turbulence and loss of containment,
• The flow continually sweeps the work surface, and
• It provides a source of air for the hood to exhaust with the sash fully closed.

Baffles
The baffles are moveable partitions used to create slotted openings along the back of the hood body. Baffles keep the airflow uniform across the sash opening to optimize capture efficiency and eliminate dead spots or possible reverse flows at the sash opening which would result in a loss of containment.
Baffle Positions
Adjusting the baffles allows the user to accommodate light vapors or dense, heavy vapors as necessary. High performance fume hoods have louvered or articulated baffles that allow more flexibility. Baffle positions open and close the slots between the panels. In a three panel louvered baffle system, the baffles would be adjusted as follows to accommodate light or dense vapors:
• Light vapors: Maximum airflow is required at the top. Top slot is fully opened and the center and bottom slots are in the open position.
• Normal Operation: The top, center, and bottom slots are all open evenly to
provide uniform flow.
• Heavy vapors: Maximum flow is required at the bottom near the work surface. The top slot is closed and the center and bottom slots are open.
Sash
The sash located at the front of the hood can be adjusted to optimize the air flow into the fume hood. It provides a protective barrier, a window to observe the activities in the containment, and protects the user's breathing zone from vapors released in the containment.
Sash Opening
The sash opening or hood face is the imaginary plane from the bottom of the sash to the air foil sill. The face velocity is measured across this plane.
Sash Positions
There are three typical sash positions to be used by the operator.
• Closed: All sashes should be closed when the fume hood is not in use.
• Operating Position or Operating Height: A maximum of 18 inches. The sash should be used at this position whenever work is being performed in the containment.
• Set-Up Position: Any opening greater than the operating position. The sash should only be used in this position for loading equipment and set-up of materials. Other work should not be performed with the sash in the set-up position.
• Hoods should be evaluated by the user before each use to ensure adequate face velocities and the absence of excessive turbulence.
• In case of exhaust system failure while using a hood, shut off all services and accessories and lower the sash completely. Leave the area immediately.• Fume hoods should be certified, at least annually, to ensure they are operating safely. Typical tests include face velocity measurements, smoke tests and tracer gas containment. Tracer gas containment tests are especially crucial, as studies have shown that face velocity is not a good predictor of fume hood leakage.
• Laboratory fume hoods are one of the most important used and abused hazard control devices. We should understand that the combined use of safety glasses, protective gloves, laboratory smocks, good safety practices, and laboratory fume hoods are very important elements in protecting us from a potentially hazardous exposure.
• Laboratory fume hoods only protect users when they are used properly and are working correctly. A fume hood is designed to protect the user and room occupants from exposure to vapors, aerosols, toxic materials, odorous, and other harmful substances. A secondary purpose is to serve as a protective shield when working with potentially explosive or highly reactive materials. This is accomplished by lowering the hood sash.
6 Questions to Ask When Buying a Fume Hood:
-Which chemicals will you use within the hood?
-Is a ducted or ductless hood best suited to your needs and available space?
-Where will you place the fume hood in the lab? Consider workflows, access to external exhaust systems, and competing air patterns.
-What size fume hood will best suit your needs? Be sure to consider what (if any) equipment will be enclosed in the hood.
-Are any service fixtures or accessories such as airflow monitors, electrical outlets, water, or gas fixtures required?
-Are base cabinets for acid, solvent, or non-chemical storage required?
