How fire dampers and smoke extraction fans work together

Some of the most important elements of a fire safety system are fire dampers and smoke exhaust fans. Despite their "invisibility", these devices play a vital role in limiting the spread of smoke, ensuring evacuation, and protecting people.

In this article, we'll look at how these elements work together and how Blauberg solutions can make the system even more efficient.

The importance of fire-resistant dampers

When choosing a damper, you have two options: normally closed and normally open, each with its own role. Normally closed dampers like the Blauberg RSKE stay shut until heat triggers them to open, blocking smoke during a fire. Made of 1.5mm thick galvanized steel, they can withstand temperatures up to 600°C for 180 minutes, protecting key areas like corridors or airlocks. Control is usually remote, with an electric magnet or actuator, giving flexibility in modern systems.

On the flip side, normally open dampers like the Blauberg BSK2 are open by default and close automatically when heat is detected. These dampers are used in ventilation systems to seal off ducts, preventing smoke spread. They're powered by an electric actuator with a return spring, ensuring reliable operation during emergencies. This design is perfect for smoke ventilation systems, where prompt response is critical for safety.

Both types should be installed in strategic areas - especially where smoke could threaten evacuation routes. Proper installation is essential for making sure they function as intended when you need them most.
The role of fans

Smoke extraction fans https://blaubergventilatoren.net/catalog/smoke-extraction-ventilation/ are devices responsible for removing smoke and hot gases from premises. They operate on the principle of creating an air flow that draws combustion products, preventing them from spreading further through the building.

Types of fans usually used for these purposes:

Axial - simple and reliable solutions for most types of buildings. Blauberg's Axis-P is a great example. It operates effectively at medium pressures, creating the necessary draft to extract smoke, even in extreme conditions, where temperatures reach several hundred degrees.

Centrifugal - used in more complex systems when higher extraction efficiency is required. Iso-VS may be a good choice. Many people like that it has excellent sound insulation, so can be installed even in places with high acoustic load.

Together with dampers, these fans provide fast and effective control of smoke spread in the event of a fire.

How these systems work together

So how do dampers and fans work together? It's simple. Dampers limit the spread of smoke to different areas of the building, while fans create an air flow that expels the smoke outside. Thus, dampers act as barriers, and fans as active agents removing polluted air. This is truly a complex system, like in buildings with different levels and adjacent rooms, where the effectiveness depends on each element.
