flow hood question
    #18714922 - 08/16/13 02:22 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

I made a flow hood using a shop fan blowing through a 99.8% HEPA filter.  It so far has worked wonderfully.  My question is am I just getting lucky or not?  I see the metal 4 inch thick ones in the videos so just wondering if what I'm using is good enough

Well, since you didn't really tell us anything about your setup, we don't know.

I bought a 99.9% HEPA air filter from Lowes.  It's the kind you put in an air conditioning unit.  The fan is a super strong shop fan.  I cant find the thing online or I'd show you

From what I'm reading it shouldn't be enough.  Weird thing is I've been really successful with it so far.

I know it looks crude but I don't have $450 for a flow hood yet.  That will be my next project.  Also its completely sealed with silicone the strap just seals it against the fan and the duct tape was there to hold it while I applied the silicone

You're just getting lucky. That can't be even close to laminar flow, which means it's blowing contams into your work space.

Search up "Schmuvbox"

How can it be blowing contams if the air is going through a 99% filter?

Because it's not laminar flow. Read up.

On laminar flow, what it is and why we need it.

There is sort of a manual, actually. The Mushroom Cultivator and Growing Gourmet And Medicinal Mushrooms (both by Paul Stamets) are both pretty damn good places to start.

Because you have turbulent flow. Turbulent flow brings in dirty air from around your workspace. Laminar flow is constant and pretty much floats contams away from your workspace before they have a chance to land. This information is easily searchable.
