Lift shaft smoke extraction
Highlights
- Reduction of energy and heating consumption compared to permanent opening
Lift shaft smoke extraction - advice, installation & maintenance
In the event of a fire, the lift shaft smoke extraction system directs the smoke out of the lift shaft via the roof. This keeps escape and rescue routes clear and minimises the spread of smoke into other areas of the building.
Saving energy with modern shaft smoke extraction systems
In the past, permanent openings were usually installed in the shaft head, which resulted in a high loss of the building's thermal energy. The lift shaft smoke extraction system is mainly installed in buildings where energy efficiency and safety are of high importance. These include high-rise buildings, office buildings, shopping centres and hotels.
How a lift shaft smoke extraction system works
The lift shaft smoke extraction system can be activated either automatically by a smoke detector or manually by an emergency release button. The central unit of the lift shaft smoke extraction system has an emergency power supply. It opens the exhaust air opening in the shaft head, activates ventilators, closes fire doors, etc. The aim is to prevent smoke from entering the lift shaft. The aim is to keep the lift shaft smoke-free.
Maintenance of a lift shaft smoke extraction system
The lift shaft smoke extraction system requires annual maintenance by a competent person.
