I wish they knew that they are designed for gases-vapors and while they can contain dusts, the internal turbulence does a great job of transporting and depositing these chemical solids on many exposed surfaces inside the hood.

1.       Industrial ventilation is quite different from typical office building HVAC

2.       Round ductwork is energy and transport efficient - still see labs built with rectangular ductwork of an office building

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Fume Hood & Lab ventilation presentation for Engineering students - what would you include?

 

I have the opportunity to give a 1 hr presentation to the Engineering student section of ASHRAE that meets on our campus. I am going to talk about fume hoods & lab ventilation. I will give a short presentation and then take them to a lab so they can test face velocity with my various Alnors.

 

I'm planning on including ASHRAE Industrial Ventilation, ANSI/AIHA Z9.5, SEFA-1, NFPA 45, Laboratory Fume Hoods by G. Thomas Saunders, and Laboratory Ventilation Work Book by D. Jeff Burton as resources. 

 

As a chemical safety professional, what do you wish the graduating Engineering students knew about fume hoods and lab ventilation? 

 

Thanks, as usual, for your input!
