Flow Patterns

Airfoil Bypass Hoods

The Airfoil Bypass Hoods have a double bypass to provideconstant exhaust volume and limit changes in face velocity.

The upper bypass functions automatically with the raising andlowering of the sash. The lower bypass provides a continuousair sweep of the work surface.

When hood top enclosures are used, a bypass grille must bespecified.

Airfoil Variable Air Volume Hoods

The Variable Air Volume (VAV) Hoods are designed to be usedwith exhaust control systems provided by other manufacturers.

In lieu of an upper bypass the VAV Hood has a lintel whichrestricts the air intake of the Hood to the sash opening and lowerbypass.

The commercially available exhaust control system will detectthe movement of the sash and adjust the volume of air requiredto maintain a constant face velocity.

Factory mounting of the exhaust controls is available whenspecified.

Airfoil Add Air Hoods

The Add Air Hoods provide up to 70% of the Hood exhaustrequirements. With a bypass similar to the Airfoil Bypass Hood,outside air is introduced through the add air plenum, thusminimizing the amount of conditioned room air required.

When outside temperatures are extreme, it may be necessary totemper the incoming air.

Figure 2 Poor Locations

The presence of cross-drafts will adversely affect theperformance or the Fume Hood. For this reason it is a good ideanot to locate the Fume Hood near open doors andwindows. High velocity air diffusers located directly in front ofthe Fume Hood could actually draw fumes out of the Hood andinto the room. Although there is no single preferred method fordelivery of make up air, it is a good idea to locate the Fume Hoodas far from the air diffuser as possible so that the air first sweepsthrough the laboratory working area and then into the Fume Hood.

Fume Hood Velocity SelectionSelection of the Fume Hood face velocity should be directly re-lated to the location of the Fume Hood. A Fume Hood in a goodlocation, as shown in Fig. 1, should operate properly at a facevelocity of 75 FPM. A poorly located Fume Hood, as shown inFig. 2, may require a face velocity of 125 FPM to maintain properperformance.

Since most fume hood installations require some type oflocation compromise, a face velocity of 100 FPM isusually the norm. Fume Hoods with a high heat source may re-quire slightly higher face velocities.

OSHA calls for, but does not require, a face velocity of 150 FPMfor Fume Hoods used with any of the 13 carcinogens listed inOSHA 1910.1003 et seq. (OSHA 1978). Studies have shown thathoods operated at face velocities of 150 FPM and greater oftenperform poorer than if operated at a lower face velocity, due todisruptive air turbulence at the perimeter of the Hood openingand in the wake of objects placed inside the work area of the Hood.

Fume Hood Blowers & DuctworkThe blower and ductwork control the amount of air moving throughthe Fume Hood. For this reason it is extremely important that theybe installed and maintained properly.

By using the chart on page 34, you can choose the correct blowerfor the Fume Hood you have selected.

BMC/Laboratory Fume HoodsPlanning

Figure 1 Good Locations

Fume Hood SelectionThere are two main factors to consider when selecting a FumeHood style.

First consider the type of work being performed in the Hood. Theuse of perchloric acid or radioactive materials require a Fume Hoodspecifically designed for these materials. Large apparatus orcomplex set-ups may require the use of a low bench or walk-inFume Hood to accommodate the space requirements.

The second consideration in selecting a Fume Hood style is theair consumption of the hood. Operation of a Fume Hoodrequires a relatively large volume of room air.

If you determine that the amount of air being supplied to the roomis adequate to accommodate the exhaust volume of the Fume Hoodthe ByPass style Fume Hood would be an excellent choice.

If there is not enough supply air available, the Add Air style maybe the right choice.

The Variable Air Volume style Fume Hood is designed to be usedwith an adjustable damper system in the ductwork. The use of thisHood will, when used in conjunction with a VAV control system,drastically reduce the total amount of air consumed. This makesthe Variable Air Volume style Hood a good choice when trying toreduce air consumption for energy cost savings or when theresimply is not enough available supply air.

For more information see “Flow Patterns” on Page 3.

Fume Hood LocationsLocation of the Fume Hood is of prime importance, since a varietyof conditions will affect the performance of the Hood.

When selecting a location for the Fume Hood, operatorconvenience, work flow and exhaust duct locations should all beconsidered. In addition, an attempt should be made to keep thehood away from the line of traffic. It is both inconvenient anddangerous to install a Fume Hood so that the operator is forced towork in the line of traffic movement.

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5

Planning BMC/Laboratory Fume Hoods

Whenever possible exhaust blowers should be located on the roofof the building. This will insure that the ductwork inside thebuilding will remain under negative pressure preventing leakageof contaminated air into occupied spaces.

Supply or add-air blowers may be located on the rooftop, sideledge, warehouse space or any other suitable location. The primeconcerns when locating the add-air blower is that it remain farenough away from other exhaust outlets to avoid cross-contamination. The other consideration is the temperature ofthe incoming air. Locating the add-air blower in an area ofsemi-conditioned air, like a warehouse, may provide a morecomfortable work area at the front of the Hood, while avoidingthe need to condition the supply air.

Add-Air Fume Hoods require the use of both an exhaust blowerand a supply blower. It is recommended that both blowers beconnected to a single on/off switch. This will avoid the possibilityof room contamination by turning on only the supply blower.

When using high concentrations of aerosols, solvents or otherflammable vapors inside the fume hood, an exhaust blower with anon-sparking wheel and explosion-proof motor may have to be used.

The duct material should be resistant to the materials used in theFume Hood. PVC, coated steel and stainless steel are all commonchoices. The ductwork should be installed with as few bends aspossible and have air tight joints.

Ducts are excellent conductors of sound. Anchoring the ductworksecurely to the building structure and sizing the ductwork so asnot to exceed velocities in excess of 2000 FPM will help toreduce duct noise.

The exhaust discharge should be located at least 10' above theroof structure and have a zero pressure weather cap. Coveredweather caps that increase static pressure and interfere with theflow of discharged air are not recommended.

As a rule, each Fume Hood should be exhausted by its ownexhaust blower, as shown in Figure 3. When multiple Hoods aremanifolded to a single exhaust blower, as shown infigure 4, imbalance in the exhaust airflow can occur as Hoods areturned on and off. To overcome this situation, all Hoods could be

turned on and off together. However, this may result in anunsatisfactory arrangement from the standpoint of energy efficiency.

Multiple Hoods which are controlled by a variable airvolume (VAV) control system may be manifolded to a singleexhaust blower. The VAV controls maintain the proper air balanceand provide excellent energy efficiency, by reducing the amountof air being exhausted when the Hood is not in use.

Care should be taken in the design of the VAV system. The airbeing supplied to the laboratory must also be variable to meet thechanging exhaust volume of the Fume Hoods. If not, overpressurization of the laboratory could occur causing contamina-tion of adjacent areas.

Because the exhaust volume of the VAV system can vary greatly,it is a good idea to select an exhaust blower with some type of airbypass, as shown in Figure 5. This will keep the fan motor fromoverloading and maintain an acceptable stack velocity.

Fume Hood blowers and ductwork systems should be included inthe maintenance schedule. Dust and other contaminants collectedon the blades of the fan can greatly reduce its capacity. Blowersshould be placed so that they are accessible for periodic cleaning.Periodic examination of the ductwork should also be made to de-tect any loose joints or porosity due to corrosion.

Fume Hood OperationA fume hood must be properly installed and operated in order toachieve optimum performance.

When using a Fume Hood, keep all apparatus at least 6" backfrom the face of the Hood. Do not put your head in the Hoodwhen contaminants are being generated. Do not store chemicalsor apparatus in the hood. Following these guidelines will helpinsure proper performance of the Fume Hood.

OSHA requires laboratories, where hazardous chemicals are used,to develop and carry out a written chemical hygiene plan. Thisplan should include provisions for monitoring fume hoods forproper performance, as well as periodic performance testing ofthe Fume Hoods. The Fume Hood air flow monitors, anemometerand smoke bombs shown on page 28 and 32 will help you meetthe requirements.


heavy or light fumes. All baffles are removable forcleaning.

Unless specified for use in a variable air volume (VAV)system, the superstructures shall be provided with an airbypass feature. The bypass, located at the upper frontinterior of the Hood, shall open as the sash is lowered,providing for a relatively constant exhaust volume of theFume Hood superstructure

When specified, the upper front exterior panel of the super-structure can be furnished with louvers. The louversprovide for proper operation of the bypass feature when thetop of the superstructure is closed off to the ceiling.

A two tube, rapid start, vapor sealed fluorescent lightfixture of maximum length shall be provided on eachsuperstructure. Each fixture shall include two soft whitefluorescent tubes. Light fixtures are relamped from the topfront of the superstructure.

Exhaust outlets shall be rectangular, 18 gage stainless steel.Hoods with stainless steel interior liners shall have 18 gagestainless steel exhaust collars welded in place.

Fume Hoods shall have a full view, vertical rising,laminated safety glass sash framed with a solid black PVCedging. The sash shall have a full width finger lift with a 16gage internal support tube. The sash shall not require theuse of a center mullion. Sash guides shall be extruded, blackPVC.

The sash shall be counterbalanced with a single weightlocated in the center rear of the superstructure. Two 1/8"diameter stainless steel cables connect the sash to the weight.The use of two cables acts as a safety mechanism keeping thesash from falling in the event that one cable would fall. Thecables ride on 2" diameter nylon ball bearing pulleys. The cable/pulley assembly shall have an adjustment located on thetop of the superstructure for proper alignment of the sash.

A lower airfoil of 14 gage steel, coated with a black baked-on chemical resistant finish, shall act as the sash stop. Inaddition, the airfoil shall provide a 1" space between thebottom of the sash, in the closed position, and the worksurface. This 1" space shall provide for a continuous sweepof fumes from the work surface.

Fume Hood Superstructures are available in widths from 48" to 96", including BMC's unique 84" wide model as shown below. Serviceand electrical fixtures shown are optional and must be ordered separately.

Airfoil BypassFume Hoods

Continuous air flow across the work surface of the AirfoilBypass Fume Hood exhausts potentially hazardous vaporssafely away from the work environment, even with the sashclosed!

The Airfoil Bypass Fume Hood features an internalbypass opening located above the sash allowing for aconstant exhaust volume while maintaining the facevelocity. In operation, the bypass works automatically, inconjunction with the hood sash. The bypass adjustment ismade as the sash is opened and closed creating a relativelyconstant face velocity regardless of sash position.

Design

The Bypass Fume Hood comes equipped with a full viewsash providing an unobstructed view of the Hood interiorwork area. The sash, a glazed 7/32" thick laminated safetyglass is provided with a full width flush pull. Acounterweight provides for one finger operation of the sashat any position.

The entrance of the Hood is framed with inward-angledmembers. This angled frame works to minimize turbulenceand provide smooth movement of air into the Hood,resulting in a more efficient operation of the Fume Hood atface velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM. A lowerairfoil sash stop maintains a 1" space (below closed sash)that allows air to flow continuously across the worksurface inside the Hood.

Double wall construction of the Hood superstructure allowsfor easy installation of service fixtures and routing ofinterior plumbing and electrical lines. The interior of theAirfoil Bypass Fume Hood is white “Resin-Chem.”Removable access panels on both interior sides of the Hoodare standard features. The exterior superstructure sidepanels are also removable for easy access to servicefixtures and supply lines.

Airfoil VariableVolume Fume Hoods

Interior LightingA twin tube fluorescent light fixture provides illuminationof the Hood's interior surfaces. The fixture is recessed intothe interior Hood ceiling and protected behind a sealed safetyglass panel away from hazardous vapors and corrosivefumes. Tubes (included with Hood purchase) are easilyreplaced from the outside of the Hood superstructure.

OptionsA variety of optional service fixtures are available fromBMC for installation in the Variable Volume Fume Hood.Mounting holes for fixtures and electrical receptacles arepre-cut and capped when fixtures are not required.

Fume Hood Superstructures are available in widths from 48" to 96", including BMC's unique 84" wide model as shown below.Service and electrical fixtures shown are optional and must be ordered separately.

B-618 96"B-617 84"


The Variable Volume Fume Hood is specifically designedfor use with exhaust control systems provided by othermanufacturers that monitor and control the amount of airbeing exhausted from the Hood. The use of these deviceswill maintain a constant face velocity and greatly reducethe operating cost of the Fume Hood.

Design

A lintel at the upper front of the superstructure restricts theHood air intake to the front sash opening. By incorporatingany one of a number of commercially available VAVcontrols, the exhaust volume of the Hood can be varied tomaintain a specified face velocity regardless of sashposition.

The full view sash provides a clear, unobstructed view ofthe work surface and when fully opened, allows easyaccess to all areas of the Hood interior. The sash iscounterweighted for easy up/down operation and is madeof 7/32" laminated safety glass with a full width flush pull.

The lower airfoil acts as a sash stop designed to provide a1" gap (with sash closed) allowing air to continuously sweepthe countertop of the Fume Hood.

Double side wall Hood construction providesadequate space for mounting service fixtures. The interior“Resin-Chem” lining has removable access panels oneither side providing easy access for installation andmaintenance of service and electrical fixtures. Bothexterior side panels of the Hood superstructure are alsoremovable for access to lines.

BMC/Laboratory Fume HoodsAirfoil Add AirFume Hoods

The BMC Airfoil Add Air Fume Hood provides addedeconomy through the use of a front mount “add airplenum” that can supply up to 70 percent of the total Hoodair volume requirement from an outside source.

Design

The superstructure entrance of the Add Air Fume Hood isframed with inward angled members that minimizeturbulence and provide smooth movement of air into theHood. This design allows for efficient operation of the FumeHood at face velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM.Additionally, the built-in bypass feature above the Hoodsash works to maintain a relatively constant face velocityat any sash position.

The front mounted add air plenum of the Airfoil Add AirFume Hood utilizes a series of diffusers and louvers toprovide a uniform flow of supply air to the face of the FumeHood. This uniform air flow allows for providing up to 70%of the overall air volume requirements of the Hood throughthe add air plenum.

As with other BMC Fume Hoods, the Add Air Hood comesequipped with a full view laminated safety glass sash witha full width flush pull and counterweight for easyoperation. A lower airfoil acts as sash stop that provides a1" space for air to continuously flow into the Hood andacross the work surface.

Double wall construction of the superstructure providesadequate space on both sides of the Hood for installation ofservice fixtures and routing of plumbing and electrical lines.The lining of the interior work area of the Hood is whiteResin-Chem with removable interior access panels on bothsides. Removable exterior side panels provide easy accessto fixtures and their service lines.

Interior LightingThe interior of the Radio Isotope Fume Hood is brightly lit bya maximum width dual fluorescent light fixture. The fixtureis mounted behind a sealed safety glass panel to isolate thefixture from corrosive fumes and flammable vapors.Replacement of fluorescent tubes is accomplished from theexterior top front of the Fume Hood superstructure.

OptionsOptional service and electrical fixtures are available forinstallation in the Radio Isotope Fume Hood. Mountingholes are provided in the superstructure for on-siteinstallation of the required service fixtures.

Stainless steel lining and work surface with coved cornersthat facilitate thorough cleaning and a reinforced countertopto support lead bricks, are some of the features incorpo-rated into the Radio Isotope Hood. These features will helpto insure operator safety and convenience in proceduresthat involve the use and handling of radioactive materials.

Design

The Radio Isotope Hood comes equipped with a type 304stainless steel sash frame with a full width flush pull andis glazed with 7/32" thick laminated safety glass. Acounterweight provides for one finger operation of the sashat any position. A lower stainless steel airfoil acts as a sashstop to maintain a 1" space, below the closed sash, whichallows air to continuously flow across the work surface.

The interior lining of the Radio Isotope Fume Hood is type304 stainless steel. All seams are welded and ground smoothto eliminate the build-up of radioactive materials. The worksurface, which is constructed of the same materials, iswelded to the lining, making the liner and work surfaceintegral and water tight. In addition, the work surface isreinforced to support 200 lbs. per square foot up to a totalweight of 1,000 lbs. per Hood or base cabinet section.

Double wall construction of the Hood superstructure allowsspace for installation of service fixtures. Access forinstallation and maintenance is acquired through theremovable stainless steel interior access panel or byremoving the exterior side panel of the superstructure. Abuilt-in bypass feature above the Hood sash works to maintaina relatively constant face velocity at any sash position.

Fume Hood Superstructures are available in widths from 48" to 96", including BMC's unique 84" wide model as shownbelow. Service and electrical fixtures shown are optional and must be ordered separately.

This Fume Hood is specifically designed for the use ofperchloric acid. A coved stainless steel liner with integralwork surface, an internal water wash down system andwater collection trough provide for detailed cleaning of theHood interior. In addition, the interior baffles are alsoremovable for cleaning to prevent the dangerous build-upof perchlorates.

Design

The Perchloric Acid Fume Hood has an internal bypasslocated above the sash. The bypass operates automatically,opening when the sash is closed and closing as the sash israised. The bypass provides for a relatively constant facevelocity at any sash position.

The sash frame and lower airfoil are constructed of type316 stainless steel. The sash is glazed with 7/32" thicklaminated safety glass and has full width pull andcounterweight for easy up/down operation. In the closedposition, the lower airfoil acts as a sash stop providing a 1"space for air to continuously sweep the work surfaces.

The interior liner, work surface and baffles are also con-structed of type 316 stainless steel. A wash down spray baris located behind the upper baffle for continuous cleaningbehind the baffles. A full width trough is located below thelower baffle to collect the wash down water from both theHood and ductwork.

Thin WallFume Hoods

The BMC Thin Wall Fume Hood provides an excellent lowcost means of exhausting high heat loads and non-hazardous fumes.

The Thin Wall design allows for maximum interior workarea and is well suited for installation on any counter of30" depth.

Design

The exterior of the Thin Wall Fume Hood is 18 gage steelwith an epoxy powder coat finish, front posts are stainlesssteel with a #4 finish. These components are attached to aheavy gage internal framework. This framework is weldedand bolted together to provide a ridged durable structurefor the Thin Wall Hood.

The interior of the Hood is lined with Minerit, a chemicalresistant gray composition stone material. The liner isattached to the internal framework with the use ofnon-metallic fasteners. A lintel, of the same material,restricts the air intake of the Hood to the sash opening. Thisrestriction allows you to vary the face velocity of the ThinWall Fume Hood by changing the sash position. Aninterior baffle system, also constructed of minerit,maintains a uniform face velocity across the entire openingof the sash. The upper portion of the baffle is adjustable tocompensate for high heat loads or light fumes.

The full view sash of the Thin Wall Hood is framed with achemical resistant black PVC. It is glazed with 7/32" thicklaminated safety glass and has a single counterweight foreasy up/down operations.

BMC/Laboratory Fume HoodsAirfoil PerchloricAcid Fume Hoods

This Fume Hood is specifically designed for the use ofperchloric acid. A coved stainless steel liner with integralwork surface, an internal water wash down system andwater collection trough provide for detailed cleaning of theHood interior. In addition, the interior baffles are alsoremovable for cleaning to prevent the dangerous build-upof perchlorates.

Design

The Perchloric Acid Fume Hood has an internal bypasslocated above the sash. The bypass operates automatically,opening when the sash is closed and closing as the sash israised. The bypass provides for a relatively constant facevelocity at any sash position.

The sash frame and lower airfoil are constructed of type316 stainless steel. The sash is glazed with 7/32" thicklaminated safety glass and has full width pull andcounterweight for easy up/down operation. In the closedposition, the lower airfoil acts as a sash stop providing a 1"space for air to continuously sweep the work surfaces.

The interior liner, work surface and baffles are also con-structed of type 316 stainless steel. A wash down spray baris located behind the upper baffle for continuous cleaningbehind the baffles. A full width trough is located below thelower baffle to collect the wash down water from both theHood and ductwork.

Double wall constructin of the superstructure allows forinstallation of service fixtures and routing of interiorplumbing and electrical lines. Access for installation andmaintenance of service fixtures is obtained by removingthe exterior side panel.

Interior LightingThe interior of the Radio Isotope Fume Hood is brightly lit bya maximum width dual fluorescent light fixture. The fixtureis mounted behind a sealed safety glass panel to isolate thefixture from corrosive fumes and flammable vapors.Replacement of fluorescent tubes is accomplished from theexterior top front of the Fume Hood superstructure.

OptionsOptional service and electrical fixtures are available forinstallation in the Radio Isotope Fume Hood. Mountingholes are provided in the superstructure for on-siteinstallation of the required service fixtures.

BMC/Laboratory Fume HoodsAirfoil RadioIsotope Fume Hoods

Stainless steel lining and work surface with coved cornersthat facilitate thorough cleaning and a reinforced countertopto support lead bricks, are some of the features incorpo-rated into the Radio Isotope Hood. These features will helpto insure operator safety and convenience in proceduresthat involve the use and handling of radioactive materials.

Design

The Radio Isotope Hood comes equipped with a type 304stainless steel sash frame with a full width flush pull andis glazed with 7/32" thick laminated safety glass. Acounterweight provides for one finger operation of the sashat any position. A lower stainless steel airfoil acts as a sashstop to maintain a 1" space, below the closed sash, whichallows air to continuously flow across the work surface.

The interior lining of the Radio Isotope Fume Hood is type304 stainless steel. All seams are welded and ground smoothto eliminate the build-up of radioactive materials. The worksurface, which is constructed of the same materials, iswelded to the lining, making the liner and work surfaceintegral and water tight. In addition, the work surface isreinforced to support 200 lbs. per square foot up to a totalweight of 1,000 lbs. per Hood or base cabinet section.

Double wall construction of the Hood superstructure allowsspace for installation of service fixtures. Access forinstallation and maintenance is acquired through theremovable stainless steel interior access panel or byremoving the exterior side panel of the superstructure. Abuilt-in bypass feature above the Hood sash works to maintaina relatively constant face velocity at any sash position.

For Airfoil Add Air Fume Hoods add the suffix -AA to thepart number.

Sash Options

Horizontal/Vertical SashCombination Horizontal/Vertical Sash provides both safetyand energy efficiency. The horizontal sliding panels act asa safety shield while reducing the Sash opening by 50%.48" and 60" models have two panels and 72", 84" and 96"have four panels.

Sash Optionsand Ceiling Enclosures BMC/Laboratory Fume Hoods

Sash StopLimiting the sash opening of a Fume Hood can greatlyreduce the amount of air required to achieve a required facevelocity.

B-780 Sash Stop limits the vertical rising of the sash by50%. A manual override allows you to fully open the sashfor setups or cleaning. The Sash Stop re-engages as the sashis lowered below it.

Postless Double Vertical Rising

The Double Vertical Rising Sash has two independently op-erating steel framed sashes. Each Sash has its own counter-weight for one finger operation.

BMC/Laboratory Fume HoodsAirfoil Add AirFume Hoods

The BMC Airfoil Add Air Fume Hood provides addedeconomy through the use of a front mount “add airplenum” that can supply up to 70 percent of the total Hoodair volume requirement from an outside source.

Design

The superstructure entrance of the Add Air Fume Hood isframed with inward angled members that minimizeturbulence and provide smooth movement of air into theHood. This design allows for efficient operation of the FumeHood at face velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM.Additionally, the built-in bypass feature above the Hoodsash works to maintain a relatively constant face velocityat any sash position.

The front mounted add air plenum of the Airfoil Add AirFume Hood utilizes a series of diffusers and louvers toprovide a uniform flow of supply air to the face of the FumeHood. This uniform air flow allows for providing up to 70%of the overall air volume requirements of the Hood throughthe add air plenum.

As with other BMC Fume Hoods, the Add Air Hood comesequipped with a full view laminated safety glass sash witha full width flush pull and counterweight for easyoperation. A lower airfoil acts as sash stop that provides a1" space for air to continuously flow into the Hood andacross the work surface.

Double wall construction of the superstructure providesadequate space on both sides of the Hood for installation ofservice fixtures and routing of plumbing and electrical lines.The lining of the interior work area of the Hood is whiteResin-Chem with removable interior access panels on bothsides. Removable exterior side panels provide easy accessto fixtures and their service lines.

Airfoil VariableVolume Fume Hoods

Interior LightingA twin tube fluorescent light fixture provides illuminationof the Hood's interior surfaces. The fixture is recessed intothe interior Hood ceiling and protected behind a sealed safetyglass panel away from hazardous vapors and corrosivefumes. Tubes (included with Hood purchase) are easilyreplaced from the outside of the Hood superstructure.

OptionsA variety of optional service fixtures are available fromBMC for installation in the Variable Volume Fume Hood.Mounting holes for fixtures and electrical receptacles arepre-cut and capped when fixtures are not required.

Fume Hood Superstructures are available in widths from 48" to 96", including BMC's unique 84" wide model as shown below.Service and electrical fixtures shown are optional and must be ordered separately.

The Variable Volume Fume Hood is specifically designedfor use with exhaust control systems provided by othermanufacturers that monitor and control the amount of airbeing exhausted from the Hood. The use of these deviceswill maintain a constant face velocity and greatly reducethe operating cost of the Fume Hood.

Design

A lintel at the upper front of the superstructure restricts theHood air intake to the front sash opening. By incorporatingany one of a number of commercially available VAVcontrols, the exhaust volume of the Hood can be varied tomaintain a specified face velocity regardless of sashposition.

The full view sash provides a clear, unobstructed view ofthe work surface and when fully opened, allows easyaccess to all areas of the Hood interior. The sash iscounterweighted for easy up/down operation and is madeof 7/32" laminated safety glass with a full width flush pull.

The lower airfoil acts as a sash stop designed to provide a1" gap (with sash closed) allowing air to continuously sweepthe countertop of the Fume Hood.

Double side wall Hood construction providesadequate space for mounting service fixtures. The interior“Resin-Chem” lining has removable access panels oneither side providing easy access for installation andmaintenance of service and electrical fixtures. Bothexterior side panels of the Hood superstructure are alsoremovable for access to lines.

B-608 96"



Airfoil BypassFume Hoods

Continuous air flow across the work surface of the AirfoilBypass Fume Hood exhausts potentially hazardous vaporssafely away from the work environment, even with the sashclosed!

The Airfoil Bypass Fume Hood features an internalbypass opening located above the sash allowing for aconstant exhaust volume while maintaining the facevelocity. In operation, the bypass works automatically, inconjunction with the hood sash. The bypass adjustment ismade as the sash is opened and closed creating a relativelyconstant face velocity regardless of sash position.

Design

The Bypass Fume Hood comes equipped with a full viewsash providing an unobstructed view of the Hood interiorwork area. The sash, a glazed 7/32" thick laminated safetyglass is provided with a full width flush pull. Acounterweight provides for one finger operation of the sashat any position.

The entrance of the Hood is framed with inward-angledmembers. This angled frame works to minimize turbulenceand provide smooth movement of air into the Hood,resulting in a more efficient operation of the Fume Hood atface velocities ranging from 60 to 150 FPM. A lowerairfoil sash stop maintains a 1" space (below closed sash)that allows air to flow continuously across the worksurface inside the Hood.

Double wall construction of the Hood superstructure allowsfor easy installation of service fixtures and routing ofinterior plumbing and electrical lines. The interior of theAirfoil Bypass Fume Hood is white “Resin-Chem.”Removable access panels on both interior sides of the Hoodare standard features. The exterior superstructure sidepanels are also removable for easy access to servicefixtures and supply lines.

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5

Planning BMC/Laboratory Fume Hoods

Whenever possible exhaust blowers should be located on the roofof the building. This will insure that the ductwork inside thebuilding will remain under negative pressure preventing leakageof contaminated air into occupied spaces.

Supply or add-air blowers may be located on the rooftop, sideledge, warehouse space or any other suitable location. The primeconcerns when locating the add-air blower is that it remain farenough away from other exhaust outlets to avoid cross-contamination. The other consideration is the temperature ofthe incoming air. Locating the add-air blower in an area ofsemi-conditioned air, like a warehouse, may provide a morecomfortable work area at the front of the Hood, while avoidingthe need to condition the supply air.

Add-Air Fume Hoods require the use of both an exhaust blowerand a supply blower. It is recommended that both blowers beconnected to a single on/off switch. This will avoid the possibilityof room contamination by turning on only the supply blower.

When using high concentrations of aerosols, solvents or otherflammable vapors inside the fume hood, an exhaust blower with anon-sparking wheel and explosion-proof motor may have to be used.

The duct material should be resistant to the materials used in theFume Hood. PVC, coated steel and stainless steel are all commonchoices. The ductwork should be installed with as few bends aspossible and have air tight joints.

Ducts are excellent conductors of sound. Anchoring the ductworksecurely to the building structure and sizing the ductwork so asnot to exceed velocities in excess of 2000 FPM will help toreduce duct noise.

The exhaust discharge should be located at least 10' above theroof structure and have a zero pressure weather cap. Coveredweather caps that increase static pressure and interfere with theflow of discharged air are not recommended.

As a rule, each Fume Hood should be exhausted by its ownexhaust blower, as shown in Figure 3. When multiple Hoods aremanifolded to a single exhaust blower, as shown infigure 4, imbalance in the exhaust airflow can occur as Hoods areturned on and off. To overcome this situation, all Hoods could be

turned on and off together. However, this may result in anunsatisfactory arrangement from the standpoint of energy efficiency.

Multiple Hoods which are controlled by a variable airvolume (VAV) control system may be manifolded to a singleexhaust blower. The VAV controls maintain the proper air balanceand provide excellent energy efficiency, by reducing the amountof air being exhausted when the Hood is not in use.

Care should be taken in the design of the VAV system. The airbeing supplied to the laboratory must also be variable to meet thechanging exhaust volume of the Fume Hoods. If not, overpressurization of the laboratory could occur causing contamina-tion of adjacent areas.

Because the exhaust volume of the VAV system can vary greatly,it is a good idea to select an exhaust blower with some type of airbypass, as shown in Figure 5. This will keep the fan motor fromoverloading and maintain an acceptable stack velocity.

Fume Hood blowers and ductwork systems should be included inthe maintenance schedule. Dust and other contaminants collectedon the blades of the fan can greatly reduce its capacity. Blowersshould be placed so that they are accessible for periodic cleaning.Periodic examination of the ductwork should also be made to de-tect any loose joints or porosity due to corrosion.

Fume Hood OperationA fume hood must be properly installed and operated in order toachieve optimum performance.

When using a Fume Hood, keep all apparatus at least 6" backfrom the face of the Hood. Do not put your head in the Hoodwhen contaminants are being generated. Do not store chemicalsor apparatus in the hood. Following these guidelines will helpinsure proper performance of the Fume Hood.

OSHA requires laboratories, where hazardous chemicals are used,to develop and carry out a written chemical hygiene plan. Thisplan should include provisions for monitoring fume hoods forproper performance, as well as periodic performance testing ofthe Fume Hoods. The Fume Hood air flow monitors, anemometerand smoke bombs shown on page 28 and 32 will help you meetthe requirements.

The presence of cross-drafts will adversely affect theperformance or the Fume Hood. For this reason it is a good ideanot to locate the Fume Hood near open doors andwindows. High velocity air diffusers located directly in front ofthe Fume Hood could actually draw fumes out of the Hood andinto the room. Although there is no single preferred method fordelivery of make up air, it is a good idea to locate the Fume Hoodas far from the air diffuser as possible so that the air first sweepsthrough the laboratory working area and then into the Fume Hood.

Fume Hood Velocity SelectionSelection of the Fume Hood face velocity should be directly re-lated to the location of the Fume Hood. A Fume Hood in a goodlocation, as shown in Fig. 1, should operate properly at a facevelocity of 75 FPM. A poorly located Fume Hood, as shown inFig. 2, may require a face velocity of 125 FPM to maintain properperformance.

Since most fume hood installations require some type oflocation compromise, a face velocity of 100 FPM isusually the norm. Fume Hoods with a high heat source may re-quire slightly higher face velocities.

OSHA calls for, but does not require, a face velocity of 150 FPMfor Fume Hoods used with any of the 13 carcinogens listed inOSHA 1910.1003 et seq. (OSHA 1978). Studies have shown thathoods operated at face velocities of 150 FPM and greater oftenperform poorer than if operated at a lower face velocity, due todisruptive air turbulence at the perimeter of the Hood openingand in the wake of objects placed inside the work area of the Hood.

Fume Hood Blowers & DuctworkThe blower and ductwork control the amount of air moving throughthe Fume Hood. For this reason it is extremely important that theybe installed and maintained properly.

By using the chart on page 34, you can choose the correct blowerfor the Fume Hood you have selected.

Figure 1 Good Locations

Fume Hood SelectionThere are two main factors to consider when selecting a FumeHood style.

First consider the type of work being performed in the Hood. Theuse of perchloric acid or radioactive materials require a Fume Hoodspecifically designed for these materials. Large apparatus orcomplex set-ups may require the use of a low bench or walk-inFume Hood to accommodate the space requirements.

The second consideration in selecting a Fume Hood style is theair consumption of the hood. Operation of a Fume Hoodrequires a relatively large volume of room air.

If you determine that the amount of air being supplied to the roomis adequate to accommodate the exhaust volume of the Fume Hoodthe ByPass style Fume Hood would be an excellent choice.

If there is not enough supply air available, the Add Air style maybe the right choice.

The Variable Air Volume style Fume Hood is designed to be usedwith an adjustable damper system in the ductwork. The use of thisHood will, when used in conjunction with a VAV control system,drastically reduce the total amount of air consumed. This makesthe Variable Air Volume style Hood a good choice when trying toreduce air consumption for energy cost savings or when theresimply is not enough available supply air.

For more information see “Flow Patterns” on Page 3.

Fume Hood LocationsLocation of the Fume Hood is of prime importance, since a varietyof conditions will affect the performance of the Hood.

When selecting a location for the Fume Hood, operatorconvenience, work flow and exhaust duct locations should all beconsidered. In addition, an attempt should be made to keep thehood away from the line of traffic. It is both inconvenient anddangerous to install a Fume Hood so that the operator is forced towork in the line of traffic movement.

Flow Patterns

Airfoil Bypass Hoods

The Airfoil Bypass Hoods have a double bypass to provideconstant exhaust volume and limit changes in face velocity.

The upper bypass functions automatically with the raising andlowering of the sash. The lower bypass provides a continuousair sweep of the work surface.

When hood top enclosures are used, a bypass grille must bespecified.

Airfoil Variable Air Volume Hoods

The Variable Air Volume (VAV) Hoods are designed to be usedwith exhaust control systems provided by other manufacturers.

In lieu of an upper bypass the VAV Hood has a lintel whichrestricts the air intake of the Hood to the sash opening and lowerbypass.

The commercially available exhaust control system will detectthe movement of the sash and adjust the volume of air requiredto maintain a constant face velocity.

Factory mounting of the exhaust controls is available whenspecified.

Airfoil Add Air Hoods

The Add Air Hoods provide up to 70% of the Hood exhaustrequirements. With a bypass similar to the Airfoil Bypass Hood,outside air is introduced through the add air plenum, thusminimizing the amount of conditioned room air required.

When outside temperatures are extreme, it may be necessary totemper the incoming air.
