Laminar flow hood question
    #22070764 - 08/10/15 07:56 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Can you have too much air flow coming from the hood. Obviously if it blows out the flame on your alcohol lamp it's too high. Outside of that is it possible to be pushing too much air through, causing a reduction in filtration or effectiveness?

No takers?

Anyone out there even worry about dialing in their flow hood or am I overthinking it?

I have a pretty large, homemade flow hood with a way overpowered blower. I have the blower wired to the lowest setting and 75% of the prefilter covered with plastic to increase static pressure and reduce flow. I get a reduced flow of air by doing this and my alcohol lamp won't blow out but I'm wondering if when I do G2G or liquid cultures, if I can/should increase the flow since I don't have to worry about a flame blowing out.

Is more better?

I think blowing out the flame is where it's at.
I would think that there could be too much air. Funky airflow and pushing more air through the filter could be a problem. You could force bad spores past the filter.

Run that thing at full speed if you are curious. Whip up a few petris, g2g, and bags. Try it out, see what happens. I bet it would be fine. But having all that airflow could be irritating. Shit like that bugs me.
