SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING SMOKE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE "80% of fire victims are a result of the harmful effects of smoke: toxic inhalation, temperature, asphyxia and lack of visibility". Controlling smoke in the event of a fire is essential in order to evacuate people and for fire-fighters to extinguish the fire, helping to create smoke free zones or ensuring the temperature and visibility are suitable in each case. Additionally, if the smoke is controlled, material assets are protected as well as the building's enclosures and structures, allowing to resume the business activity more quickly. To...

SYSTEMS FOR SMOKE CONTROL IN THE EVENT OF FIRE — CAR PARKS — INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND PUBLICLY USED BUILDINGS — COLD ROOMS — EVACUATION ROUTES — TUNNELS

CAR PARKS It is essential for the ventilation system for car parks to be reliable throughout the years to ensure it is safe for users. In car parks, ventilation may be natural or forced. In the latter, fans must be installed to properly move the air and maintain the required conditions of safety and comfort under normal conditions as well as in the event of a fire. Car park ventilation systems are installed to carry out three functions: 5) Control smoke in the event of a fire, to help occupants evacuate as well as help fire-fighters extinguish the fire. Maintain the concentration of contaminating...

INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND PUBLICLY USED BUILDINGS Smoke exhaust solutions limit the effects of heat and evacuate the smoke that is generated in the event of a fire. These ventilation systems can extract hot gases generated at the start of a fire and create smoke free areas below the layers of floating smoke, helping the evacuation as well as the fire-fighting effort. Also, the appearance of secondary fires is prevented as well as control the temperature of the smoke to prevent the building from collapsing. Protect the evacuation routes Control of the temperature of gases The use of smoke exhaust...

VENTILATION SYSTEMS IN INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND PUBLICLY USED BUILDINGS SMOKE EXHAUST IN BUILDINGS WITH A SINGLE FLOOR SMOKE EXHAUST IN MULTI-LEVEL BUILDINGS

COLD ROOMS The implementation of a smoke control system in the event of a fire in cold rooms have unique differences compared to traditionally installed smoke control systems in industrial buildings; specifically: The equipment installed on the casing of the cold room requires thermal insulation features in order to prevent high energy losses. DROPBOX EDNA The presence of a dual ceiling (ceiling of the room and building roof ) makes it difficult to exhaust the smoke produced during a fire to the exterior from inside the cold room. The presence of low temperatures inside the cold room may reduce...
