My flowhood! *UPDATED # 2*
#3667069 - 01/23/05 09:00 AM (19 years, 8 days ago) |
|

Built her today! I call her Mia! 
Featuring a H14 (99,999%) HEPA.
The green-net is for protection. I've got a cat and dont want it to... try something 
Im gonna get some plexi-glas for it. I'll post update when done
(also got a pre-filter but its not mounted)
*UPDATE*

Okay it's finished! I went for a 6mm thick glas instead of the plexi.
..... so I changed my mind and made some adjustments


This way I'll have more vertical space and it will be much easier to work with

I would STRONGLY suggest you add a good PRE/FILTER. It will SAVE the main filter from heavy accumulation of lint, dust & contam's.

Yeah there is a pre-filter.
The HEPA is 305x610mm and the fan moves the air by approximatly 0,6m/s

If it blows the smoke away semi-aggressively I'm sure you'll be fine. That's a nice looking flow hood no doubt.
Never hurts to check though.

nope.
The resistance to flow in a liquid can be characterized in terms of the viscosity of the fluid if the flow is smooth. In the case of a moving plate in a liquid, it is found that there is a layer or lamina which moves with the plate, and a layer which is essentially stationary if it is next to a stationary plate.
There is a gradient of velocity as you move from the stationary to the moving plate, and the liquid tends to move in layers with successively higher speed. This is called laminar flow, or sometimes "streamlined" flow.

as agar said, add a prefilter to the hood, or the hepa will clog in no time, specially if is a 99.999% efficiency filter. and you can't clean it.. once is gone...is gone... btw... very nice work, good job!

Wow I just build a ghetto glove box today. I was going to build one of these, but I will suffer for awhile until I deserve the flow hood.
