weather hood easily removable for servicing and inspection, The fan
shaft was stainless steel, and the fan blades were designed of heavy
duty cast aluminum, balanced to insure vibrationless operation, The
fan housing was made of heavy gauge aluminum adequately reinforced for
maximum rigidity. Weight of these fan assemblies could not exceed 300
pounds because of building structural limitations. Exhaust hoods over
ranges and friers designed for the installations of grease filters
were constructed of stainless steel sheets reinforced with stainless
steel angles. For ease of handling these hoods were sent to the Jobsite
knocked down in sections. The grease filter assemblies for the range
hoods were designed to withstand the salt air and excessive humidity,
The filter media were corrosion resistant copper, and the filter frame
was constructed of heavy silicon bronze. All filters used were stand~

ard sizes and of the cleanable type.

Filters were placed in a V-type

stainless steel adapter unit with removable drip pan, Exhaust hoods
located over steam kettles, cookers, coffee urns, and dishwashers did
not require grease filters,
These hoods were designed similar to those
located over ranges and friers, except that they were made of aluminun,
The fume hoods used in the laboratory buildings were of standard construction similar to those used in commercial laboratories, -

The three power house buildings on the test sites (Runit, the

Aomon Group, and Engebi) were of solid reinforced concrete design, with
the only openings those provided in the rear wall of the building. For
this reason, it was necessary to ventilate these buildings whenever
equipment was operating inside. The ventilation system for each building was designed so that the temperature inside the building would not

rise above 110°F when outside air was 80°F,

Air was supplied into each building through two identical ventilating systems with axial flow fans mounted inside the building. One
system was designed so that blind flanges could be installed for seal-~
ing the inlet and outlet of the system a few hours before zero, The
other ventilating system was designed with electric motor operated
butterfly valves installed over the exhaust and supply openings. This
system was to continue operation until shutoff at zero hour. The
butterfly valve was an electric motor cperated two-position valve designed to close from wide open position in ten seconds, with an allowable variation of plus or minus 1 second, The valve was constructed
of cast iron suitable for high humidity salt air at atmospheric temperature. The supply fan and other materials used for the construction
of these ventilating systems were the best quality available for normal
ventilation usage.
A power house building was designed for Bogallua and its ventilation system was similar to the one described above with the exception
that it was a single ventilation system with electric motor operated
butterfly valves mounted inside the building over the supply and exhaust
openings. The decision not to use this island for a test site made it unnecessary to construct this power plant.

The ventilation for the scientific stations at various sites was

in accordance with design criteria received from J-Division,
