What do fume hoods do?

Lab fume hoods are crucial safety devices used in laboratories to protect workers from exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, and dust. These contaminants could be harmful or toxic and are often generated during experiments involving chemicals, biological agents, or other substances. 

fume hoods provide a controlled environment that captures and contains these hazardous materials, preventing them from entering the laboratory space and exposing lab personnel to potential health risks.

Laboratory Fume Hood Working Principle

Deiiang™ fume hood works by drawing contaminated air from the laboratory into the hood through an exhaust system. 

The contaminated air is then filtered or expelled outside the building to ensure that it does not recirculate within the laboratory. 

The hood is typically equipped with a movable sash (a glass or plastic window) that acts as a barrier between the researcher and the harmful materials being handled.

When a laboratory worker conducts an experiment inside the fume hood, the air is drawn across the work surface and the fumes or vapors are captured. The air is then directed through the hood’s internal baffles and safely expelled to the outside through an exhaust system. 

This ensures that potentially dangerous substances do not linger in the laboratory environment. At Deiiang™, we focus on integrating advanced airflow technology in our fumeANSI/AIHA Z9.5 for laboratory ventilation.

Benefits of Lab Fume Hoods

One of the most significant functions of a fume hood is to protect lab workers from inhaling toxic fumes and vapors. In laboratories, many substances can emit harmful fumes, which, if inhaled, could lead to serious health problems. 

Fume hoods create a barrier that contains these substances, ensuring they do not enter the breathable air of the laboratory. The air is directed through the exhaust system, preventing any dangerous vapors from affecting lab personnel. 

Deiiang Jason.peng, our product designer, ensures that our fume hoods are engineered with the latest technology to minimize exposure and maximize safety.

Maintaining Safe Air Quality

Fume hoods contribute to maintaining safe air quality by continuously removing harmful substances from the air. 

By capturing and venting hazardous fumes, these devices prevent contamination of the laboratory’s air. This is particularly important in environments where sensitive research is being conducted, such as in pharmaceutical or chemical research laboratories. 

The air inside the fume hood is consistently filtered or vented, ensuring that the surrounding environment remains free of harmful substances. 

Our fume hoods at Deiiang®️ are designed to meet strict ISO 14644-1 standards, ensuring they contribute to Clean air quality in controlled environments.

Preventing Accidents

By controlling and venting hazardous fumes and vapors, fume hoods help prevent accidents such as fires or explosions. 

Many chemicals used in laboratories are flammable or reactive, and without proper ventilation, dangerous reactions could occur.

Fume hoods provide a safe workspace by removing the hazardous materials and ensuring that they are not exposed to ignition sources or reacting with other chemicals. 

Our fume hoods are rigorously tested by Deiiang Joebo.Wang, our product tester, to meet global safety standards, including compliance with OSHA regulations, to ensure the safety of lab personnel.
