Abstract

See full text

A fume extraction hood is designed to be positioned above a welding, cutting, or other metal-working location and to remove hot gases, smoke and fumes produced during these processes. The hood forms a box-like structure with an extractor rail structure disposed in an internal volume of the hood. The extractor rail structure comprises panels that force sharp turns in the gases, causing particulate matter to drop out of the gases both outside and inside the extractor rail. A primary path for gases accelerates and re-directs the gases entering into the extractor rail, and within the rail. The rail may form a dropout tray that can be removed for cleanout of collected particulate. The side and end rails of the hood may create a secondary path for gas not directly intaken into the extractor rail. This secondary path is re-directed towards the extractor rail, where gas is collected and particulate is forced to drop out as it joins the primary path.
