American Standard ASHRAE 110-1995 2. Face Velocity Measurements The ASHRAE 110-1995 standard is a comprehensive method for evaluating the operator safety of fume hoods by determining quantitatively and repeatably how well the fume hood contains vapors released in the workzone. First published in 1985 and extensively revised in 1995, this standard employs a set of rigorous tests to evaluate hood performance: • Face velocity and uniformity tested at 100% and design sash opening position Typical measurement grid for 1.5m/5’ hood at 457mm/18” sash opening 110 • Local and gross airflow...

Energy Efficiency Fume hoods — essential safety devices used in laboratory environments — are highly energy-intensive, each one consuming more energy than three homes in an average U.S. climate. Depending on climate and system design, estimated energy costs for fume hoods range up to US$9000 annually1, based on face velocities of 0.5m/s (100fpm) at full sash open position for a 1.8m (72.0") hood. Variable Air Volume (VAV) is one of the various approaches presently employed to reduce hood energy consumption. The table below compares conventional hoods, VAV hoods, and the Esco Frontier Acela®...

Frontier Acela High Performance Fume Hood Laminar Topography and Perfect Protection Perimeter ® Chain and Sprocket Sash Support System Large arbor sprockets and chain drive make sash travel quiet and effortless. High Sight Line High sight line of 1803 mm (71.0”) coupled with an automatic lowering function combines safety and convenience. Perfect Pitch Profile Ergonomics, safety and aesthetics all come together with the 5o pitch of the face. Acela® Shaping Vanes Increase airflow “sweep” at the critical area at the side walls to improve containment, especially when laboratory traffic disrupts...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Tapered Fiberglass Exhaust Collar Transitions exhaust air quietly and enhance airflow uniformity. Functionally Robust Bypass The unique design provides a robust stream of bypass air into the hood cavity. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is employed in the development of Esco clean air and containment devices. Laminar TopographyTM on Frontier Acela® Fume Hoods was developed with computational fluid dynamics modelling in the Esco Research and Development Center. The main thrusts of the project were improved airflow uniformity, enhanced safety,...
