Hood Air Systems & Steam Sizing for Paper Machine Dryer Hoods[ back to full computer program list ]1. The purpose of this project was to look at the problems of hood leakage and hood condensation on a Paper Board Machine in Naheola Alabama. Enclosed you will find a computer analysis (Program called HOOD) of the 4 types of Hoods. Based on the evaporation rate into the hood the program calculates the amount of supply air required (ACFM, SCFM, lbs/hr) and the amount of exhaust air (ACFM, SCFM, lbs/hr) and determines the motor BHP to move the air. If the engineer inputs the energy cost factors for steam (to heat the supply air) and electricity (for fans), the program will calculate the annual cost for electricity and steam.
