INTRODUCTION
Smoke Vents
Smoke ventilation systems are Life Safety Systems designed to facilitate the safe escape of occupants in the event of a fire and also enable the fire to be fought in its early stages. There is well defined and strict legislation and design guidance that defines and governs the installation, performance and maintenance of Smoke Ventilation systems that must be considered and adhered to when specifying any system.
Smoke control systems save lives and help protect property by:
Turbo Ventilators
Wind driven Turbo ventilators are powered by the wind to create effective ventilation for different industries. Turbine or Turbo ventilators are round metal vents with fins in them. Even the slightest breeze can be enough for the turbo ventilator to rotate. Rotation causes a centrifugal force on the tip of the fins which suck out the stale hot air from inside of the building. The faster the wind, the faster the turbine will rotate and exhaust the heat, smoke, fumes, humidity, etc.
Ridge Ventilators
Ridge ventilators are ventilators that are installed at the peak of a roof, allowing warm, humid air to escape the building. They provide evenly distributed ventilation along the entire underside of the roof of a building.
The ridge ventilators can be made either from 0.50 mm TCT Pre-Painted Galvalume material with AZ150 coating, or 0.50 mm TCT Pre Painted Galvanized material with Z120 coating or bare material 0.47mm TCT with AZ 150 coating, as per the requirement of the consumer.
Advantages of Ridge Ventilators:-
- They are covered with a bird mesh, to restrict the entry of birds in the ventilator.
- They are assembled to provide a leak proof ventilation solution.
- They enable easy installation on the roof.
