Conventional Fume Hoods

Conventional Fume Hoods direct the airflow through the sash opening and under the air foil. The operator controls the face velocity by adjusting the sash position.

The Uniflow Conventional Fume Hoods are specially designed for the Variable Air Volume (VAV) control system.

Uniflow Conventional Fume Hoods are designed for service with or without Variable Air Volume (V.A.V.) control.

The diagram details airflow characteristics of the conventional fume hood design. Without V.A.V., C.F.M. remains nearly constant while face velocity varies with sash position.

With V.A.V. control, face velocity is constantly monitored and adjustable to a pre-set level regardless of sash positions. Variable Air Control increases operator safety and reduces energy loss.
