In light of the failure of the converter movable water cooled fume hood in the practical production the water flow field distribution of the movable fume hood is numerically simulated and calculated by software FLUENT and the primary cause to the failure of the movable fume hood is found to be originated from the unbalance distribution of the flow field and thus a revamp plan accordingly put forward. Production practice demonstrates that the service life of the revamped movable fume hood achieves and even exceeds the designed value.
