Talk:Fume hood

Fume hood vs. Fume cupboard
Well, here in the States we call 'em "fume hoods", ya see. genevax@yahoo.com

The UK invented them so we can call them what we like. European Standard uses Fume Cupboard. Globally fume cupboard used more.

I don't Think it really matters who invented them or who uses them more...they save lives and isn't that what really matters.....turboefx@yahoo.com

In the UK, "fume cupboard" is definitely more common than "fume hood", is this the case elsewhere.... thinking "redirect" here --PopUpPirate 23:36, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Energy
Anybody have an idea how much power their fume cupboard fan draws? Nfette (talk) 06:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Can somebody summarize the main differences between a fume hood and a biosafety cabinet? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shudongs (talk • contribs) 15:01, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

New Introduction; many further edits needed
I edited the introduction but this article needs a lot of work. In particular, references to codes and standards (ANSI Z9.5 in the US for example).

The whole discussion relative to health and safety is very primitive.

I don't care what we call them, hoods or cupboards, and also I don't think it matters.

There is no one answer for how much power a hood draws. It depends entirely upon the exhaust system design, where you are located (vis heating/cooling the make-up air) and local power costs. We could include some examples however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonorom (talk • contribs) 19:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

"Construction and location" intro
The article currently states "Fume hoods (fume cupboards) are generally available in 5 different widths; 1000 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm and 2000 mm. The depth varies between 700 mm and 900 mm, and the height between 1900 mm and 2400 mm." Firstly, shouldn't it use centimeters, not millimeters? And also, I think this needs a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.69.120 (talk) 23:01, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Source added; it uses millimetres, now most common in equipment such as this. Have you perhaps looked at a fitted kitchen catalogue recently? --Old Moonraker (talk) 23:38, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Section on saving energy
The section "Behavioral programs to reduce fume hood energy use" has some nice information about saving energy. It has turned into a list of "me too" programs that is excessive. One or two example programs would be all that is needed for the article. Grantmidnight (talk) 15:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Improvements
I have re-organized the material more logically, added Wikilinks, and reworded some awkward circumlocutions. More cleanup work is still needed. Reify-tech (talk) 15:31, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Manufacturing


If anyone's interested in adding material about manufacturing and installation, then this looks like a decent image for the section. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
