Exhaust hoods
Exhaust hoods are essential in kitchens, laboratories and many industrial application for removing fumes, mists, vapors, aerosols, particulates, hazardous substances, polluting contaminants
In general, for an exhaust hood to be efficient the height - y - should not exceed 1.20 m (4 ft) the distance - x - should not be less than 1/3 y the capture velocity - v 1 - should not be less than 0.15 - 0.20 m/s (30 - 40 ft/min) Note! Potential hazardous and polluting applications requires special solutions. Always check local regulations. The capture velocity - v 1 - of the exhaust hood can be estimated with the empirical equation v1 = q / 2 y2 c (1) where v 1 = capture velocity (m/s) q = air volume flow (m 3 /s) y = distance between table and exhaust hood (m) c = circumference of the hood (m) (1) can be modified to calculate required air volume q = 2 v1 y2 c (1a)
The required air volume for an exhaust hood with a plate can in general be reduced to approximately 80% compared to an exhaust hood without a plate.
