Flow hood help
    #24190912 - 03/25/17 05:38 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I did the lighter test
And yesterday I did the incense stick around the edges and I noticed that the FH actually sucks a tiny bit of  air in at the to left corner and blows it out almost to the center... Any comments?

Can I fix this?

Turn your flow cabinet into a flow hood

Yes, just box it in to keep outside air from getting sucked into your workspace.

Yes. Anything would help I guess, but I don't see why you shouldn't add a (see trough) top and bottom on it if your going to build something anyway.

Hire someone to do it for you if you can't fathom how to put a hood on your filter

Does the plexiglass  has to be close to the edge of the filter or can I install around the box.  I'm trying to do this by myself, I'm waiting for the 1900 filtrete to arrive. If one filter doesn't work I will buy another one. Do the lighter and incense stick test, and if that doesn't work I will install the plexiglass.

please not that instructable, it is very bad info and will not give laminar flow

either build a plywood, plexiglass, metal, or glass box around your filter (i built it into mine)

Wow. Yours looks awesome. Wat are te materials for yours. My filter is kinda weird if I put the incense up close my filter sucks it a little bit wtf!. Even reducing the air intake. I have no other option than enclosing it like yours.

i just used plywood and plexiglass, aluminum on the bottom.

just went with a design inspired more from lab equipment than the standard forum build, but i couldnt have done it without memorizing all the teks

you can probably solve your problem by building a simple frame around your hood, just sit plexiglass on it

here is the thread where is was building mine https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24137384/page/1

i will post the design plans soon, just gotta polish em up so that they make sense to someone other than me haha..

it has some tricky measurements, if the standard flow cab is a 1/5 difficulty carpentry wise, mine is probably a 2.5/5 project. no dovetails or any special joints though

should help with what you were dealing with, though its kinda hard to see much in the pics

could use silicone caulk (some kinds are specifically for plexiglass) to seal it off

Sorry but this one is not a nice one and doesn't even have a HEPA H13 filter.

I found this one:

Very nice
