Advantages of laboratory hoods

Laboratory fume hood plays a crucial role in the laboratory environment, and its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, safety protection

Harmful gas discharge: The fume hood can effectively discharge harmful gases and particles generated during the experiment to the outside, avoiding harm to the experimenter and the laboratory environment. According to the American national standard ANSI/ASHRAE110-2016, the wind speed in the cabinet facing 0.3-0.5 meters in front of the cabinet should be controlled between 0.4-0.6 meters/second, so that the wind speed can effectively capture and discharge the harmful gases in the cabinet.

Filter system: Some fume hoods are also equipped with a filter system that can further purify the discharged air and avoid pollution to the environment. This is especially important in laboratories where air quality needs to be tightly controlled.

Explosion-proof and anti-corrosion: The housing material of the fume hood is usually made of stainless steel plate with a thickness of 3mm, which has excellent performance such as corrosion resistance, fire prevention and anti-corrosion, and can ensure the safety of laboratory staff to the greatest extent. At the same time, some fume hoods also have explosion-proof characteristics, which can provide additional security when handling flammable and explosive materials.

Second, energy conservation and environmental protection

Air volume adaptive and air volume partition control: Modern fume hoods use compressors, heat exchangers and frequency conversion control systems to achieve air volume adaptive and air volume partition control, which not only improves energy utilization efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption.

Energy efficient: Some advanced fume hoods can save up to 50% in energy costs compared to traditional fume hoods.

Environmentally friendly materials: The manufacturing materials of the fume hood are often environmentally friendly and recyclable materials, which meet the energy-saving and environmental protection requirements of modern laboratories.

Third, the operation is convenient

Adjustable wind speed and air volume: The design of the fume hood allows the user to freely adjust the wind speed and air volume according to the experimental needs to achieve the best use effect.

Humanized design: The fume hood is usually equipped with a clear and intuitive control panel and a convenient and easy to use adjustment device, so that the experimenter can be handy in operation.

Mobility and flexibility: Some fume hoods (such as clean air fume hoods) do not need cumbersome installation engineering, and can be flexibly moved and installed in different places.

Fourth, widely used

A variety of laboratory types: fume hoods are widely used in biochemical laboratories, medical laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories, food laboratories and other types of laboratories to meet various experimental needs.

Customized services: The market also provides customized fume hood services, users can choose the appropriate style and size according to the specific needs of the laboratory and space layout.

Fifth, low maintenance costs

Durability: Fume hoods are usually made of high-quality materials, which have high durability and stability, and can reduce maintenance costs in the later period.

Easy maintenance: The structural design of the fume hood is reasonable and easy to clean and maintain, which can extend its service life and reduce maintenance costs.

In summary, the laboratory fume hood has significant advantages in safety protection, energy saving and environmental protection, easy operation, wide application and low maintenance cost. These advantages make the fume hood one of the indispensable and important equipment in the laboratory.
