A fume hood, also known as a fume cupboard or exhaust hood, is a ventilation device commonly used in laboratories and other settings to control and contain hazardous fumes, vapors, and dust generated during various chemical processes or experiments. It provides a safe working environment for researchers by effectively removing harmful substances and preventing their dispersion into the laboratory.
Here are the key features and components of a fume hood:
Enclosed WorkspaceA fume hood is a fully enclosed workspace with a transparent front sash or door that allows users to observe and access the interior. The workspace is designed to contain and limit the escape of hazardous substances, ensuring the protection of the user and the surrounding environment
Airflow and Ventilation
Fume hoods operate on the principle of controlled airflow to capture and remove hazardous fumes. They are connected to an exhaust system that draws air from the workspace and directs it outside the building or through appropriate air filtration systems. This airflow prevents the buildup of hazardous substances within the fume hood.
Sash or Door
The front opening of a fume hood is equipped with a sash or door, which can be raised or lowered to control the airflow and provide access to the interior workspace. The sash acts as a barrier between the user and the hazardous materials, minimizing the risk of exposure while allowing for manipulation of equipment and substances.
Airflow Monitoring and Controls
Regular maintenance, testing, and inspections are crucial to ensure the proper functioning and compliance of the medical gas system. This includes activities such as gas purity testing, pipeline integrity checks, preventive maintenance, and calibration of equipment.
