The fume hood is an important safety staple in chemistry classrooms and research labs. Getting the most out of a fume hood begins with selecting the right one for your application. That means knowing precisely what type of work will be performed in the fume hood and making the choice between constant air volume and variable air volume, choosing between a ducted and a ductless fume hood, and selecting the appropriate material of construction.
Type of Fume Hoood
-General Purpose Bench Top
The most common type of fume hood utilized in most types of labs. The liner
selected is generally fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) which has a broad application.
-General Purpose Floor Mount
Floor mounted hoods are used where the dimensions of the apparatus exceed what can be accommodated in a bench mounted fume hood or where the weight involved precludes placing the apparatus on a bench top.
High Performance Hoods-
High performance hoods allow greatly reduced face velocities at full working height, resulting in a 40-50% reduction in energy use as compared to a general purpose hood. These are generally restricted to common bench top general
purpose applications, suitable for VAV or CAV use.
Student workstations
Student workstations are generally deployed in undergraduate teaching lab
settings and are used by students while under supervision by instructor. Accordingly, materials of construction are adjusted to suit less demanding chemical resistance needs. Glass side and back windows are often provided. Often these hoods are placed on an island and are manufactured in a back-toback configuration with two working chambers.
Acid Digestion Hoods
- For operations involving heating and evaporation of acids, special materials are used in the construction of the hood interior. The principle changes include a PVC or polypropylene liner, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated sash frame, lower airfoil and exhaust connection. In addition, if the hood will be used with hydroflouric acid, then the sash glass and light lens is changed from glass to polycarbonate.
Perchloric Acid Hoods
For operations involving heating and evaporation of perchloric acid, special
fume hoods are produced. These hoods are always bench top models with the addition of a wash-down system and drain trough to remove hazardous
perchlorate residues from the hood interior. Perchloric acid hoods are always connected to a dedicated exhaust system which is also equipped with a water
wash system. Perchloric acid hoods can be equipped with a stainless steel liner if they will be used with perchloric acid only or a PVC liner if they will be used with other acids as well.
Radioisotope Hoods
Radioisotope hoods are designed for use with radioactive materials and have a smooth coved stainless steel liner with an integral dished work surface. The work surface is reinforced to support the weight of heavy shielding which may need to be utilized by the user.

Steps to Use Fume Hood
-Put the reactive material and equipment as far back in the fume hood to improve fume exhaustion. Placing the equipment far is also useful as it keeps the sash unblocked in case of an emergency where you need to close it immediately. An ideal distance is 6 inches or more inside a lab fume hood that prevents fumes from escaping
-Keep the lights switched on at all times
-Clean the glass immediately if any splash or spills occur
-Lower the safety shield to the height indicated by side stickers
-Do not use exterior fans near fume hoods as they may disrupt the airflow and reduce its effectiveness
-Do not lift the sash or safety glass above the optimum height unless you want to add or remove anything inside. Safety glass or sash drops to minimum height to protect a worker against splash, fumes, or explosions. Keep the sash closed after the operation and never stick your head inside
Precautions
-Never use a laboratory fume hood as a storage unit for equipment, chemicals, or any other thing
-Inspect a fume hood before use to ensure uninterrupted airflow and check for uncontrolled turbulence. Have professional technicians inspect the lab fume hood and regularly certify to ensure safe operations and functions
-Keep the minimum amount of material inside a fume hood during the procedure and clear it once completed. If storage is necessary, use correct cabinets for chemicals or biological materials
-Check for filters regularly when using a ductless hood device. Clean or replace if needed as they play an essential role in the removal of fumes and particles
Probably the most important consideration is the type of chemicals that your laboratory uses. The majority of ductless fume cabinets are only suitable for process-specific or light-duty fumes. Before you decide if this unit is right for you, compile a list of all the chemicals and the quantities of each. From this, you should be able to determine if a ductless hood would work in your lab. If your laboratory use is likely to change over time, or you do not know what type of chemicals will be used in future, then this fume extraction system might not be the best choice for you. The safety and health of your employees or operators should be your top priority, so the type of chemicals you are using will be the main deciding factor on whether a ductless fume hood is right for you.
Another critical factor to consider is the cost of a recirculating fume hood. We have already mentioned that this system can often be more cost-effective than a ducted alternative. A ducted system needs to have an expensive infrastructure around it, such as ducting, mechanical systems, exhaust fans, roof elements and more. All of these things are an additional cost to consider. A filtered hood eliminates all of these extra costs, but that does not mean they are free to run. Ductless hoods will need regular filter replacements, which is an expenditure that needs to be taken into account
