| Abstract |
Fume hoods should be fully integrated in the laboratory ventilation system in order to meet the aerodynamic prerequisites of good ventilation and fume exhaust. The results of aerodynamic studies are reproduced, and rules are established for the optimal location of fume hoods: air velocity at the fume hood site should be less than 0.5 m/s; hoods should preferably be located at the opposite end of air conditioners or ventilation openings; wall locations are preferable to aisle locations; doors next to hoods and frequent passages of persons can disturb the air flow into the hood; 2 or more hoods should preferably be placed side by side. |
