A round fire damper is an essential safety component within ventilation systems. The round fire damper is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through air ducts. This damper is installed in round ventilation pipes and automatically closes upon detecting high temperatures or smoke, thereby preventing further spread through the ventilation system.
A round fire damper operates through thermal or smoke detection. When the temperature in the duct exceeds a certain threshold or when smoke is detected, the fire damper automatically closes. This occurs through a mechanism that forces the damper into a closed position, immediately blocking the airflow. This prevents the spread of smoke and fire to other parts of the building via the ventilation system.
Where is a fire damper commonly used?
Round fire dampers are often used in the ventilation systems of commercial buildings, apartment complexes, industrial facilities, and other large enterprises where fire safety is of utmost importance. They are installed at strategic locations within the ventilation system to ensure that the spread of smoke and fire is limited.
The different variants in our range
- Dimensions: our fire dampers vary in diameter from 80 mm to 800 mm. It is crucial that the size of the fire damper fits exactly in the ventilation duct to ensure effective and safe operation. This ensures that no air or smoke can escape along the edges of the damper.
- Manual Operation: this fire damper can be operated manually, providing a simple and reliable solution for situations where automatic closure is not required.
- With Servo Motor: these dampers are powered by a servo motor, allowing them to be operated remotely and to close automatically upon fire detection.
- With Smoke Sensor: these fire dampers are equipped with a smoke sensor that automatically closes the damper upon detecting smoke in the ventilation system.
- With Limit Switch: this variant has a limit switch that signals when the damper is fully closed. This is important for monitoring and safety systems.
What are the benefits of a round fire damper?
- Fire Protection: they prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation systems, which is essential for a building and the people within it.
- Easy Installation: the dampers are designed to fit perfectly in round ventilation ducts. This makes installation simple and efficient.
- Flexibility: thanks to the various variants, you can choose the right damper for your situation and safety needs.
For which ventilation ducts is this product suitable?
Round fire dampers are designed for installation in round ventilation ducts, or ventilation pipes. It is important that the location fits perfectly in the ventilation duct to ensure proper sealing and operation.
How to install and maintain the fire damper?
Ensure that the fire damper fits accurately in the ventilation duct, without any gaps, to guarantee effective sealing. For fire dampers with a servo motor or smoke sensor, the electrical wiring should be connected as indicated in the manual. It is important to check the operation and any wear of the fire damper at least once a year. Additionally, it is recommended to regularly test the fire damper to ensure it closes and opens correctly in case of emergency.
