Fume Hood Ducting and Exhaust System Ductwork connected to fume hoods may be arranged in a variety of patterns depending on requirements. Generally, the best exhaust system involves the shortest duct length and the fewest elbows. Duct size, length, and number of elbows affect static pressure loss and blower efficiency. Ideally, each fume hood should have its own ducting and blower to maximize hood flexibility and reduce danger of backdraft from other hoods. Common or manifold ductwork designs can be used, provided duct and blower have been sized properly. In these designs, individual hood...

Sizing Fume Hood Exhaust Blowers Selecting a Blower: 1. Using the sizing instructions select the size blower required form the CFM static pressure charts. 2. When spark resistance is required, specify the explosion proof blower catalog number. 3. When selecting a blower to suite the operating condition,please specify the operating voltage & phase. 4. All blowers have a coated impeller wheel, the frame and housing have a baked chemical resistant, synthetic resin finish. 5. If specified a chemical resistant resin finish can be applied to the blower housing for maximum chemical resistance. 6....
