You have no option, the fume hoods have to run 24/7/365. In 1981
University of Maryland College Park -- Chemistry Department had two grad
students recrystalize an organic compound
using warmed 100% N-Octane as the solvent. They wanted to speed things
up so they
put the beaker in a regular refrigerator ......... The blast wiped out
three lab rooms on the
4th floor. The frig did not have a sealed explosion proof defroster fan
motor..........
The classrooms were empty and the two RAs got the munchies and went the
basement
vending machines for a candy bar, still the sight of their lab coats
riddled with glass cuts.....
You can make the fume hoods a separate heating zone, supply them
directly with heat exchanger
tempered outside air, and use two fan speeds occupied and vacant- hoods
closed
