All,
I
am looking to for small fume hood for the RV Walton Smith. You would think this
would be a simple task. The problem is most are just too big in one dimension
or another. The other issue is that many seem to have sash weights in them to
counterbalance the door. Anyone have any suggestions?

Rich,
We
use these flow sciences in all the vans. They come in lots of sizes and I think
the will customize to. The blow is separate from the hood. Here is the link.

Hi Rich,
Tim beat me to it. And he should know since they are in the UNOLS
Vans. I think our experience with the Flowscience
Fume Hoods in the vans has been very good.
Airclean Systems may also have some viable options,
although we do not own any at present. I had looked into them a few years
back for the same reasons you state meaning limited space / dimensions to use
it in and finding one for temporary use when needed.
Here is that link: http://www.aircleansystems.com/
Regards,
Chris

We
use http://www.labconco.com/_scripts/editc20.asp?CatID=4
here on the Pt Sur. Looks like they make a variety of sizes as well.

Hi
Rich:
I'm considering a small ductless fume hood for the Barnes from Mystaire/Misonix--model FE2620, about 24" wide x
30" high x 20" deep. It needs a variety on replaceable filters
depending on what chemicals are being used.

Hi
Rich,
I
recently purchased a small fume hood and a separate blower, small speed
controller for the blower, I believe the fume hood was
all polyethylene. We bought it to gain bench space & to temp. replace the labconco model and its
exterior blower. Now it is not "tall" enough for some functions
but it was sufficient for a recent cruise in the last two weeks. I will get you
the numbers / product info.

Just
a fyi that I added a ÒFume
HoodsÓ section to our Tech Links page and added the three possibilities listed
so far to it for future reference:

Jim,
You
may want to think twice about ductless hoods. Most university EHS
departments (including UW I believe) do not allow ductless hoods for general
purpose applications. Some institutions allow them only for specific
purpose, single process applications on a case by case basis. Some do not
allow them under any circumstances.

Now
this has not been "officially" certified yet - but the blower meets
the specs. The controller doesn't slow it down all that much. The
picture shows a 6" rubber boot from a plumbing supply shop to decouple the
blower from the top of the hood. I bought your typical electrical box to
mount the speed controller, attaching to the blower directly. protective cover sheet is still on the fume hood door. Also it is fairly quiet.
