Testing containment of laboratory hoods

Conference Knutson, G W - ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)

Laboratory fume hoods often do not adequately provide protection to a chemist or technician at the hood. The reason for failure of the hoods to perform adequately are varied and, in many instances, difficult to determine. In some cases, the laboratory hood manufacturer has provided equipment that does not reflect the state of art in controlling laboratory exposures. In other cases, the architect or engineer has disregarded the function of the hood thus the design of the installation is faulty and the hood will not work. The contractor may have installed the system so poorly that it will not adequatelymore »« less
Laboratory fume hood systems, their use and energy conservation

Conference Maust, J D ; Rundquist, R P - ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)

The operation of laboratory fume hoods accounts for most of the energy used in research facilities. The energy is consumed by the fan systems and conditioning of the makeup air. While these energy consumers are not different from other air-handling systems, the constraints associated with a fume system present difficult problems. The significant constraints are worker safety, precipitation, dispersion, corrosion, and reliability. The evolution of fume hood systems has seen constant-volume systems give way to variable-volume systems having heat recovery systems and refined control strategies. Described here is an energy-conserving system that has been placed in operation and a discussionmore »« less
Mt. Hood region: Volcanic history, structure, and geothermal energy potential

Journal Article Williams, D L ; Hull, D A ; Ackermann, H D ; ... - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

The volcanic history of the Mt. Hood region in the last 15 m.y. shows a slow migration of six to eight volcanic centers from a position about 20 km west of Mt. Hood to the most recent volcanic center in the series. Cutting across the entire Mt. Hood region and most of the Pacific Northwest is a set of northwest-southeast right-lateral strike-slip faults. These are numerous around Mt. Hood, but the offset of any single fault is small (a few meters) and in some cases vertical. These faults are also young and indicate east-west extension and north-south compression. An oldermore »« less

Laboratory fume hood and exhaust fan penthouse exposure risk analysis using the ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 and other tracer gas methods

Conference Hitchings, D T

The use of the laboratory fume hood as the primary containment device in the laboratory has been a standard practice for almost half a century. Quantitative testing of the performance of these devices, however, is a more recent discipline. The use of the ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995, Method of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods (ASHRAE 1995) is becoming a standard specification in the purchase of new fume hoods, the commissioning of new laboratory facilities, and benchmarking fume hoods in existing facilities. Part 1 of this paper proposes a risk analysis method by which worker exposure to hazardous substances used in laboratorymore »« less
Energy efficient laboratory fume hood

Patent Feustel, Helmut E

The present invention provides a low energy consumption fume hood that provides an adequate level of safety while reducing the amount of air exhausted from the hood. A low-flow fume hood in accordance with the present invention works on the principal of providing an air supply, preferably with low turbulence intensity, in the face of the hood. The air flow supplied displaces the volume currently present in the hood's face without significant mixing between the two volumes and with minimum injection of air from either side of the flow. This air flow provides a protective layer of clean air betweenmore »« less
