The fans inside a fume hood are responsible for maintaining a constant and controlled airflow. When these fans malfunction, it can lead to several issues.
Noise and vibration problems may seem less critical than other fume hood issues, but they can impact the overall laboratory environment and researcher comfort.
Fume hoods are designed to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals. However, over time, exposure to corrosive substances can cause damage to the interior surfaces of the hood, compromising its integrity,
One of the most common problems with fume hoods is neglecting regular maintenance and safety checks.
It’s crucial to promptly tackle these problems with consistent maintenance and careful supervision. By doing so, laboratories can continue to rely on fume hoods as essential tools in their research and experimentation processes.
