Exhaust hoods

Exhaust hoods are essential in kitchens, laboratories and many industrial application for removing fumes, mists, vapors, aerosols, particulates, hazardous substances, polluting contaminants

In general, for an exhaust hood to be efficient the height - y - should not exceed 1.20 m (4 ft) the distance - x - should not be less than 1/3 y the capture velocity - v 1 - should not be less than 0.15 - 0.20 m/s (30 - 40 ft/min) Note! Potential hazardous and polluting applications requires special solutions. Always check local regulations. The capture velocity - v 1 - of the exhaust hood can be estimated with the empirical equation v1 = q / 2 y2 c (1) where v 1 = capture velocity (m/s) q = air volume flow (m 3 /s) y = distance between table and exhaust hood (m) c = circumference of the hood (m) (1) can be modified to calculate required air volume q = 2 v1 y2 c (1a)

Exhaust Hood Calculator

The air flow volume in the exhaust hood can be calculated below 0.2 1.2 3 1.728 3661 capture velocity - v1 - (m/s) vertical distance from table to hood - y - (m) circumference exhaust hood - c - (m) Air Volume Flow (m3/s) Air Volume Flow (CFM)

Exhaust Hood with internal Plate

The efficiency of an exhaust hood can be improved by adding an internal plate.

The required air volume for an exhaust hood with a plate can in general be reduced to approximately 80% compared to an exhaust hood without a plate.

Exhaust Hood with Side Walls

The exhaust hood efficiency can be further improved by adding side walls.

7.2.3.9 Stair Pressurization. 7.2.3.9.1 Smokeproof enclosures using stair pressurization shall use an approved engineered system with a design pressure difference across the barrier of not less than 0.05 in. water column (12.5 Pa) in sprinklered buildings, or 0.10 in. water column (25 Pa) in nonsprinklered buildings, and shall be capable of maintaining these pressure differences under likely conditions of stack effect or wind. The pressure difference across doors shall exceed that which allows the door to begin to be opened by a force of 30 lbf (133 N) in accordance with 7.2.1.4.5. 7.2.1.4.5 The forces required to fully open any door manually in a means of egress shall not exceed 15 lbf (67 N) to release the latch, 30 lbf (133 N) to set the door in motion, and 15 lbf (67 N) to open the door to the minimum required width. Opening forces for interior side-hinged or pivoted-swinging doors without closers shall not exceed 5 lbf (22 N). These forces shall be applied at the latch stile.
