Product Description
Product Description
Most fume hoods share common design characteristics. High performance fume hoods incorporate additional or modified components. The basic fume hood components include the hood body, sash, work surface, exhaust, and baffles.
1. Hood Body
The housing of the fume hood provides the containment for hazardous gases and vapors or the physical barrier between the containment and the outside air.
2. Work Surface
The work surface or deck is generally a laboratory bench top.
3. Exhaust Plenum
The shape and location of the exhaust plenum helps to distribute air flow evenly across the hood face. Materials such as paper towels drawn into the plenum can create turbulence in this part of the hood, resulting in areas of uneven air flow and poor performance.
4. Air Foil Sill
The air foil sill is located along the bottom edge of the fume hood. The air foil performs several important functions:
• It streamlines the airflow into the hood around the edge, reducing turbulence and loss of containment,
• The flow continually sweeps the work surface, and
• It provides a source of air for the hood to exhaust with the sash fully closed.
5. Baffles
The baffles are moveable partitions used to create slotted openings along the back of the hood body. Baffles keep the airflow uniform across the sash opening to optimize capture efficiency and eliminate dead spots or possible reverse flows at the sash opening which would result in a loss of containment

More About the Fume Hood
The Hood Surface
You should:
• Keep the hood surface free of stored chemicals and paper towels/Kimwipes
• Place instruments two inches above the hood surface to allow airflow under the instrument
• Avoid placing items so that the back baffles are blocked
The Should Never Do Practices
There are a few practices that you should never do. OH&S has seen this many times. Some of the following are practices that could cause the Principal Investigator (PI) to receive a citation during an audit.
• Never use a fume hood as a canopy hood to draw away heat. This will create airflow disruptions.
• Never over pack a fume hood. Air must be able to flow around objects.
• Never use the fume hood to store chemicals. This prevents the hood from being used

Fume Hood Maintenance
• Hoods should be evaluated by the user before each use to ensure adequate face velocities and the absence of excessive turbulence.
• In case of exhaust system failure while using a hood, shut off all services and accessories and lower the sash completely. Leave the area immediately.• Fume hoods should be certified, at least annually, to ensure they are operating safely. Typical tests include face velocity measurements, smoke tests and tracer gas containment. Tracer gas containment tests are especially crucial, as studies have shown that face velocity is not a good predictor of fume hood leakage. • Laboratory fume hoods are one of the most important used and abused hazard control devices. We should understand that the combined use of safety glasses, protective gloves, laboratory smocks, good safety practices, and laboratory fume hoods are very important elements in protecting us from a potentially hazardous exposure.• Laboratory fume hoods only protect users when they are used properly and are working correctly. A fume hood is designed to protect the user and room occupants from exposure to vapors, aerosols, toxic materials, odorous, and other harmful substances. A secondary purpose is to serve as a protective shield when working with potentially explosive or highly reactive materials. This is accomplished by lowering the hood sash.FAQ
Why do fume hoods use so much energy?
It's the air being sucked through the fume hood, not the fume hood itself that consumes so much energy. For health and safety reasons, labs use 100% outside air which must be heated or cooled for comfort before it is brought into the lab. In addition to the energy required to condition the air, a significant amount of additional electricity is required to run large fans to move the air through the building and through the fume hoods.
How does shutting the sash save energy?
Most fume hoods at Stanford are variable air volume (VAV), meaning that the fume hoods are designed to vary the air flow based on how wide open the sash height is. Sash position is connected to the building's ventilation system so that a building's fan speed and the volume of air moved is reduced when the sash is lowered.
Is it safe to shut the sash?
The sash is an important safety barrier between the fume hood interior and the laboratory, protecting the lab user. Sashes should be opened only to set up or modify an experiment. At all other times, shutting the sash is safest. When the sash is shut there is still some air flow through the hood to remove any fumes.
How do I remind myself and my roommates to close the sash?
You can post a sticker, like the one shown in the picture below, to remind yourself and your lab mates to close the sash when not in use. The sticker also educates new fume hood users tha a lower sash is safer, and that the sash should only be open when setting up and modifying experiments.
What other fume hood practices can reduce my energy consumption?
• Never use a fume hood just for storing chemicals - they belong in a safety cabinet, which doesn't require huge volumes of air.
• If your fume hood has an occupancy switch, turn it off when not in use.
• If your group is no longer using a specific fume hood, consider having it locked and de-commissioned so air no longer flows through it.
