How Do Fire Dampers Work?
The dampers are connected to fire detectors (heat, smoke, etc.) so the safety systems are triggered automatically. It is usually connected to a control room where there are crews observing and ready to act in the event that the automated system fails. When the detection system is triggered, the dampers adjacent to the area where there a fire are opened while the other dampers are closed. In this way, the smoke is extracted near the fire and it allows people in the tunnel to evacuate without much exposure to the smoke. In many cases, reversible flow fans are installed to help pull the smoke out of the tunnel as well.
Fresh Air Dampers for High Temperature Environments
Damper control is crucial for proper ventilation in your facility. Depending on the type of damper you choose, it may be vital for safety, such as fire or noxious gas isolation. They are also important for controlling temperatures in industrial HVAC Systems to keep interiors cool and comfortable for workers.
No matter what type of dampers you need, consider the temperatures they are regularly exposed to.
Extreme temperatures require specialized dampers for your industrial ventilation system. These dampers may be configured differently or made of specific materials to withstand high and low temperature applications.
