Any ideas on a DIY VAV Fume Hood? I may be a beginner on chemistry and gold refining but one thing I'm a expert at is fabrication of many sorts. I figure to use my skills to save me a little money. I don't want to invest in a $5000 fume hood for a hobby I'm barely starting. I have studied the basic characteristics and design of a VAV Fume Hood. I know which type of glass to get that's specific for working with HCI but that's where am at so far. Any tips and suggestions? For example , Im looking for a good source to buy the ventilation /filtration system. Even though it will set me back a few bucks, it's better than spending thousands on a complete system. Also if anyone knows a good place to get sensors to add on to a safety alarm system for the project ?
I put a stop to my refining till I read the Hokes literature from fronto back and till I have all the safety equipment, knowledge and a safety plan in case of any accidents. Recently a accidental exposure during a refining process had me stop a rethink everything. While I educate myself some more why not build a fume Hood..
And please don't say just go and buy one. If your not a builder or fabricator then please respect the ones that are. Just like I have the highest respect for people in all trades, hobbies and interests. Not having enough knowledge on a specific subject does not give you a right for a advice to be taken seriously but it does make for a good conversation to share ideas together in my humble opinion.
