CALCULATION FOR EXHAUST FAN SYSTEM

For Fume Hood 1 :

Type of hood : Wall mounted canopy

Type of equipment : Medium duty
Minimum exhaust flow rate : 0.35 m3/s (refer Table 1)
Length of Hood :6m

Hence, Q = 6 m x 0.35 m3/s per linear meter of hood

= 2.1 m3/s
= 4,443 cfm
4,500 cfm

For Fume Hood 2 & 3 :

Type of hood : Wall mounted canopy

Type of equipment : Medium duty
Minimum exhaust flow rate : 0.35 m3/s (refer Table 1)
Length of Hood : 1.2 m

Hence, Q = 1.2 m x 0.35 m3/s per linear meter of hood

= 0.42 m3/s
= 889 cfm
900 cfm
