Fan Selection: The Heart of Performance
Fume hood effectiveness is directly linked to correct fan selection and positioning. Locating the fan outdoors improves performance, supports energy efficiency and maximizes laboratory comfort.
Indoor Fan (Not Recommended)
- High noise levels
- Heat buildup in the laboratory
- Power loss and reduced efficiency
- Vibration and difficult maintenance
- Unbalanced airflow
20–30% loss
Outdoor Fan (Recommended)
- Low noise levels
- Comfort in the laboratory
- High efficiency and stable airflow
- Easy maintenance and long service life
- Energy savings
20–30% increase
