Unveiling the Working Principle of Desktop Fume Hoods: The "Air Guardian"
创建于06.18
In environments with stringent requirements for air quality and personnel safety, such as laboratories, research institutions, and medical facilities, desktop fume hoods play a crucial role as "air guardians." As a company specializing in the research, development, and production of purification equipment, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has deep - rooted experience in the industry. Today, we will provide an in - depth analysis of the working principle of desktop fume hoods, uncovering the mystery of how they safeguard environmental safety.
I. The Basic Structure of Desktop Fume Hoods: The Foundation for Function Realization
Desktop fume hoods are mainly composed of the cabinet body, operation countertop, ventilation system, and control system. The cabinet body, as the supporting main body, is usually made of high - quality materials with corrosion resistance and easy - to - clean properties. The operation countertop is used for placing experimental instruments and conducting operations. The ventilation system, a core component, includes fans, air ducts, etc. The control system is responsible for adjusting various operating parameters to ensure the stable operation of the fume hood.
II. The Core Working Process: The Journey of Layered Air Purification
1. Harmful Gas Collection: When harmful gases, dust, or smoke are generated during experimental operations, and the operator works inside the fume hood, a directional airflow is formed at the opening of the fume hood, quickly drawing these pollutants into the cabinet. It's like creating a "gravity field" for harmful gases, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
2. Airflow Conveyance: The contaminated air sucked into the cabinet is conveyed to the purification treatment section of the ventilation system through the air ducts under the strong suction of the fan. The power of the fan directly affects the conveying efficiency and speed of the airflow. The desktop fume hoods produced by Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. are all equipped with high - efficiency and energy - saving fans to ensure stable and rapid airflow conveyance.
3. Purification Treatment: According to the actual usage scenarios and types of pollutants, the purification system of the fume hood adopts different treatment methods. Common ones include filtration purification, which intercepts dust and particles through high - efficiency filters; adsorption purification, which removes harmful gases using adsorption materials such as activated carbon; and for some special chemical pollutants, chemical neutralization and other treatment means may also be used to convert harmful pollutants into harmless substances.
4. Clean Air Discharge: The clean air after purification treatment is discharged outdoors through ventilation pipes, or, when meeting the indoor air quality standards, partially recycled, achieving a reasonable allocation of resources and effective energy conservation.
The following table compares the characteristics and applicable scenarios of different purification treatment methods:
Purification Treatment Method | Principle | Characteristics | Applicable Scenarios |
Filtration Purification | Intercepting dust and particles through high - efficiency filters | Effectively removes solid pollutants with high filtration efficiency | Experimental scenarios with a large amount of dust and particulate matter pollution |
Adsorption Purification | Adsorbing harmful gases using adsorption materials such as activated carbon | Can handle a variety of harmful gases with strong adsorption capacity | Pollution scenarios of organic waste gases, odorous gases, etc. |
Chemical Neutralization | Converting harmful pollutants into harmless substances through chemical reactions | Highly targeted with remarkable treatment effects | Treatment scenarios of specific chemical pollutants |
III. The Intelligent Control System: The "Smart Brain" for Precise Regulation
In addition to the basic ventilation and purification functions, modern desktop fume hoods are also equipped with an intelligent control system. This system can real - time monitor key parameters such as the airflow velocity and pollutant concentration inside the fume hood. Once an abnormality is detected, for example, a too - low airflow velocity that may lead to the spillage of pollutants, the system will immediately issue an alarm and automatically adjust the fan speed to ensure the normal operation of the fume hood. At the same time, operators can also flexibly set the ventilation mode and adjust the air volume according to experimental requirements through the control panel, making the operation of the fume hood more user - friendly and intelligent.
To more intuitively display the performance differences of different types of desktop fume hoods, the following is a comparison of the key parameters of different models:
Model | Cabinet Dimensions (mm) | Fan Power (W) | Maximum Air Exhaust Volume (m³/h) | Applicable Laboratory Area (㎡) |
KL - TF01 | 1200×850×2350 | 300 | 1500 | ≤20 |
KL - TF02 | 1500×850×2350 | 450 | 2200 | 20 - 30 |
KL - TF03 | 1800×850×2350 | 600 | 3000 | 30 - 40 |
