High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers Introduction Actionair have developed a new technically advanced thermal enclosure that actually has the ability to absorb heat energy when subjected to a high temperature environment. The performance criteria involves continuous operation of the complete damper and actuator assembly at elevated temperatures. This new enclosure is made from a phenolic composite resin with excellent endothermic properties. A chemical reaction occurs within the insulating material when it is heated. This reaction has the effect of lowering the temperature inside the enclosure, thus prolonging the duration of the actuator s operation at elevated temperatures. Smoke and other products of combustion kill at least 80% of recorded fire victims, smoke is debilitating and can render people unconscious minimising their chances of survival. Many more die weeks or months later from the lingering effects and toxic effects of smoke inhalation. Smoke and toxic gases the Silent Application High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers are designed for installation in high temperature ductwork systems with mechanical smoke extraction. As these ductwork systems regularly serve more than one fire zone or floor when smoke extraction is conducted from one area, it is essential to fully fire protect adjoining fire zones from ductwork penetrations that are connected to the smoke extract duct. For this purpose dampers, when closed are a fire rated damper to BS 476 part 0 for up to hours, thus providing the fire isolation required. Closure of the Damper is achieved by removal/loss of the electrical supply.when used for smoke extraction, under authorised control, the damper will remain open under electrical power for a period of 1 or hours at temperatures of up to 300 C thus allowing the safe extraction of Killers have to be managed and controlled quickly and effectively to avoid confusion and panic from the threat posed to life safety and the extraction and control of these deadly gases is of paramount importance for the safe evacuation of the buildings occupants. The importance of the subsequent smoke damage that can occur to adjacent property and fittings is also recognised, as this can have disastrous effects on homes and businesses as recognised in the Loss Prevention Council Design Guide for Fire Protection in Buildings. Actionair have developed the Hot/Shield PTC High Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers along with the Hot/Shield Vent PTC Smoke Control and Extract Dampers to enable the concepts of fire engineering to be employed in ducted smoke ventilation systems. These dampers designed, tested and approved to deliver high temperature operation at up to 300 C for 1 and hours, provide the designer with the capability of extracting hot smoke and combustion gases through a common smoke extraction duct linked to adjacent fire zones and floors. As smoke can spread rapidly and efficiently through a building ductwork system, damper operation needs to be initiated by a smoke detection system, as thermal sensing can often be too late. and Hot/Shield Vent PTC dampers are designed to be interfaced with a smoke detection/fire alarm system. smoke and hot gases of combustion through the extended fire compartment created by the fire rated ductwork. Smoke Management Fire Dampers may also be used for controlled supply of make up air as a function of the fire engineering process. Hot/Shield Vent PTC High Operating Temperature Smoke Control and Extract Dampers provide flexible smoke management where other fire compartments are not interconnected to a common fire rated ductwork system. Designed to spring to the open position by stored energy and remain closed when powered. Hot/Shield Vent PTC dampers allow controlled smoke extraction to take place with a dedicated smoke control system if required, but retaining low leak closure of the smoke extract duct penetrations into the protected space during normal conditions. Casings Features With double skin spigotted galvanised steel (to BS EN 1014) casing the Hot/Shield PTC dampers comply to Class A and B of Eurovent Document / and Test Procedures for Classes A, B and C of HVCA Ductwork Specification DW144. Damper casings are manufactured with fully welded spigotted connections suitable for Square, Rectangular, Circular and Flat Oval duct connections. As an extra cost option, casings can be manufactured in Type 1.4016 (430) Ferritic or Type 1.4401 (316) Austenitic Stainless Steel. Proportional Torque Control A new generation High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Damper, thermally Insulated Control Mode assembly, with a unique and dedicated Proportional Torque Control for optimised Damper/Control Mode torque performance. The unique snaplock drive interface ensures user friendly, easy and secure connection of the Control Mode to the Damper. The drive interface, which is totally independent of the ductwork, and provides ease of connection to square, rectangular, circular and flat oval ductwork, including Fire Rated Ductwork. Blade Features The Damper blades are aerodynamic,double skin (Type 1.4016 to BS EN 10088- Ferritic Stainless Steel) which are 75mm deep and interlock to form a positive smoke and fire resisting shield. Incorporated within the blade profile is a silicone seal to ensure low closed blade leakage at temperatures up to 300 C for 1 or hours. Stainless Steel blade end bearings and peripheral gasketting maintain the low closed blade leakage allowing for expansion under full fire conditions. Optional Blade construction Type 1.4401 (316) Austenitic Stainless Steel. Parameters and Hot/Shield Vent PTC Dampers to maximum width and height dimensions (see page 6) can be used where the operating total system pressure is up to 10 Pascals and duct velocities to 15m/second. As with any life safety damper product, a suitable planned inspection programme should be implemented. For specialist and/or aggressive applications, please refer to Actionair Sales Office.
High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers Control Options A choice of a 4V or 30V Control Modes located outside the ductwork and (protected by its own thermally insulated enclosure) and Halogen Free Low Smoke and Fume cables, allows Damper control up to 300 C for a period of 1 or hours. The Control Mode upon receipt of the relevant supply voltage will motor the Damper to the open position. Closure of the Damper is achieved by removal/loss of the electrical supply. The Damper when closed will provide protection in accordance with BS 476 Part 0. Control Modes have two separate volt free contacts for the provision of external damper status indication. (No thermal links available). Hot/Shield Vent PTC Dampers and associated Control Modes are reverse action with spring opening.

High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers Acoustic Data The data presented is from the Laboratory Determination of Acoustic and Aerodynamic Performance of Hot/Shield PTC High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers. A programme of extensive tests was carried out in the Reverberation Chamber and North Transmission Chamber of Sound research Laboratories Limited, Holbrook Hall, Sudbury, Suffolk, generally in accordance with BRITISH STANDARDS Nos. 4196, 4773, 4856, 4857 and 4954. This independent test facility is approved under the NAMAS Scheme. From the selection of a duct velocity within the operational parameters of the damper a resultant pressure drop from Table 1 can be determined and the sum of these two components applied to the Velocity x Pressure Drop Vs Sound Power Level Graph. (Table ) The graph is the result of a full range of acoustic tests on Hot/Shield PTC High Operating Temperature Smoke Management and Fire Dampers with the blades set in then fully open position. The Spectrum Correction Data is applied to the number obtained from the graph and a complete Sound Spectrum of Flow Generated Noise for both Outlet (in duct) and Breakout (casing radiated) is obtained. Example: Duct with a design velocity of 8 m/sec. Damper Series 1 fully open. Pressure Drop = Pa (Table 1). Multiply Velocity x Pressure Drop 8 x = 176. From Sound Power Graph (Table ) plot 176 on horizontal Velocity/Pressure axis against 1 outlet (induct) graph to obtain 47 dbw on Vertical Sound Power Level Axis. Add or subtract corrections to the 47 dbw to provide full spectrum analysis.
