Trace the replacement air
Exhaust removes air from the room. Identify the paths that replace it, including supply grilles, doors and adjacent spaces. Note which paths change with plant operation.
Compare capture under repeatable conditions
Record process load, fan speed and which doors and supply fans were active during the observation. Have a ventilation specialist measure hood airflow and assess cross-drafts before changing the system.
FAQ: Could opening a door improve one hood and worsen another?
Yes. A door can change both the amount and direction of incoming air. Measure the affected hood with the door in the positions used during production.
