Fume Collection
Fume Collection
(OP)
How do I determine the amount of fumes I can collect with a vent. The fumes would be emitted in an open area and the vent with the exhaust fan would be 4' away?

The open area would be about 8' L x 6' W and the fan would be about 30" away. The fan vent would potrude though a plexiglass ceiling (8' L x 6' W). So, the idea is that the fumes will rise then hit the plexiglass ceiling and be drawn accross the ceiling into the fan.

What is this for? It sounds like a vapor extraction system of some sort. Are the fumes being directed somewhere or just dischaged to the atmosphere? It seems like soomething is missing?

RE: Fume Collection
Yes, you basically understand the enclosure correctly. We have no walls on the four sides just posts to support the plexiglass ceiling. The fumes are 8 CFM of O2 (oxygen) with .08 PPM of O3 (Ozone. They are being emitted from a Corona discharge head and are about 110 degrees when they are emitted from the head. So, I am assuming they will rise even though the O3 is denser than O2. They are being directed to a duct system that will direct the fumes to the outside of the building. This is acceptable because the O3 has a 1/2 life of 30 minutes and eventually reverts back to O2.
