The function of a fire damper is to prevent the spread of toxic smoke gases through ventilation ducts within a building. They are designed to close when a certain temperature is reached, thus preventing the spread of smoke gases.
The function of fire dampers is particularly relevant in buildings with a high fire risk, for example in production facilities, hospitals, shopping centres or in the logistics sector.
Fire damper function in detail
Different release mechanisms are useful depending on the area of application. The decision on the appropriate type of fire damper depends on various factors, including the type of building, the utilisation, the potential fire risk and the applicable legal regulations.
Fire dampers with electric actuators or cold smoke barriers are often found in public facilities.
They offer a fast response time and effective control of toxic fumes. For industrial facilities, fire dampers with a fusible link are usually the best choice.
