Poor Mans Flow Hood
    #5680482 - 05/27/06 01:37 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

OK.. I don't know if this particular forum is the correct one for this post.. so i am sorry if it is in the wrong spot...

I have decided to make myself a flow hood... and hopefully i have done it right... lol

I went to the local hardware store and purchased approx $55 in supplies.. and thats all needed...



I assembled then wood into a box missing one side....

Then applied a bathroom ventilation fan.... and a filter

and Vola...... Desk top Flow hood.

Sadly, that fan will not provide laminar flow, nor will anything less than a hepa filter keep out contaminates.

Those super allergen filters make nice pre-filters to extend the life of the laminar flow hepa filter. You want 100 to 150 linear feet per minute leaving your laminar flow hood. A 12 X 24 filter has two square feet of surface area. For that size filter, you'll need a 200 to 300 cubic feet per minute(cfm) blower, and make sure it's rated to deliver that 200-300 cfm at 1" of static pressure. They're available in the US from Grainger Supply for about $100.
