MAINTENANCE OF PERFORMANCE
Periodic inspection and checking of exhaust systems are necessary if control is to be maintained at the effective level of the original installation. Continued effectiveness depends on maintained design air volume flowing through the exhaust hoods. A checking procedure, therefore, must include some data to indicate at least relative air flow' through the hoods. The static pressure or hood suction
measurement will prove useful for such checking if data are available on air volumes and pressures at the time the system was installed. Testing and recording of such data for each new installation are of the utmost im portance.
While hood suction readings have rightfully been dis carded as a means of measuring air flow, they do offer a quick and accurate method of measuring relative air flow. If the hood suction is known while an exhaust system is functioning properly, its continued effectiveness can be assured so long as the hood suction is not reduced from its original value.
Difficulty from plugging may be encountered where

REFERENCES
A marked reduction in hood suction can often be traced
to one or more of the following items:
1. Reduced performance by the exhaust fan caused by re duced speed due to belt slippage, wear on rotor or casing, or an accumulation of material in the rotor or casing obstructing the air flow.
2. Incorrect direction of exhauster rotation.
3. Reduced performance caused by defects in the exhaust piping, such as accumulations of material in branch or main ducts due to insufficient conveying velocities, condensation of oil or water vapors on duct walls, adhesive characteristics of material exhausted.
