RECTANGULAR FIRE DAMPERS FD-E120/EI60S
We are the bigest manufacturer of rectangular fire dampers in Romania, thus ensuring the shortest delivery time of orders.
The fire dampers provide protection against a possible fire spreading through the ventilation and air conditioning ductwork, for 120 minutes.
The fire dampers are used in ventilation and air conditioning installations from office buildings, industrial buildings, commercial spaces, hospitals, auditoriums and competition halls.
The fire dampers close automatically at the occurrence of high temperatures by means of a spring or an actuator.

CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
The fire damper is made of: casing, locking element (blade) and a device for trigger and control, operated remotely or automatically after the thermal shutter is operated.
The casing is made of galvanized steel sheet, with 1.25 mm thickness.
Inside the casing there are the expansion gasket, the shutter blade, elements of the actuating mechanism, the sealing profile (for ensuring tightness at ambient temperature) and the fire expandable sealing (Intumex L-HP) in order to ensure tightness in case of fire.
The locking element is made of Fireboard (MGO) sandwich panels with a thickness of at least 40 mm (20 mm MGO + 20 mm MGO). This thickness ensures fire resistance for 120 minutes.
The actuating assembly (consisting of motor and support) is mounted on the outside of the casing.
The fire dampers are equipped with Belimo/Siemens type actuator, mounted on the shaft of the locking valve. When the actuator is supplied with voltage, it rotates by bringing the fire damper to the closed position (operating position), while tensioning the return spring.
The fire dampers with Belimo/Siemens type actuators close by interrupting the power supply, with the result of driving the return spring located in the actuator.
Triggering and control mechanisms: Belimo/Siemens type axial actuator, from the series of products intended for fire dampers.
The correct functioning of the fire dampers is ensured when the axis of rotation is the horizontal one.
In order to be ensured the fire resistance of the separation element, there shall be observed the restraint limits – the rotation axis of the fire damper will not go beyond the wall.
You can choose the option of door actuation by a spring and fuse. In this case, the Belimo/Siemens type engine is replaced by a spring that ensures the damper closing, and the open position is maintained by a fusible element produced by Belimo. This fuse opens at 72° C and the damper closes. This system provides the same fire protection but cannot be controlled by the BMS and requires the intervention of the maintenance team for periodic checks.
The mounting of fire dampers to the ductwork is carried out by connecting them with TDC connection angles.
Following a proper installation of the fire damper, in case it has controls or other elements that require connection to the electrical system, the cables of this system must be properly connected to the fire damper.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SIZES
The interior size is the size of the damper casing on the inside. For example, a FD-E120/EI60S 4NM – T 500×400 fire damper (x) has the horizontal interior size (x) 500 mm and a height (Y) of 400 mm. Usual sizes:
Upon request, the FD-E120/EI60S dampers can be made in other sizes than those in the table.
In order to know the overall dimension of the damper, it is calculated the interior size + 100 mm, representing the outside frame of the door. To this dimension it must also be taken into account that on the side with actuator it is added another 40 mm over the outer dimension.
The depth of the 120-minute fire dampers is 265 mm In the case of this product, the distance from the motor to the outside of the damper is important, respectively 170 mm.

THE WAY OF ACTUATING THE FIRE DAMPER
Our services provide two actuating ways for closing and opening the fire resistant damper. These are: fuse with return spring and actuator with return spring and optionally equipped with thermal sensor.
In the case of driving the fire damper door by an actuator, its type is chosen depending on its power and the size of the fire damper. The fire-resistant dampers are equipped with Swiss actuators, made by Belimo (with SBI label) or German motors, made by Siemens.
After choosing the motor power, it will be opted for the operating voltage. This can be 220 or 24 volts. Optionally you can choose to equip the fire dampwr with a thermal sensor, which will trigger the actuator at the set temperature of 72.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
TRANSPORT
For transport the fire dampers will be individually packed or grouped on a wooden pallet and wrapped. In the truck it will be ensured a protection against shocks. It is not advisable to transport in uncovered cars if the weather is unfavorable.
It should be taken into account that the temperature inside the car must not exceed 65 ᵒC.
During transport the fire damper door will be in the closed position.
Check the fire dampers at the goods arrival to see if there is any damage. In case of finding any damage or lack, please contact immediately the shipping company and the supplier.
STORAGE
For storage there are not required special conditions, but it is recommended a dry place and away from direct sunlight. The storage temperature cannot degrade the fire dampers, but it should be taken into account not to exceed 65 degrees C. At 72 degrees C the thermal sensor is triggered, if this happens, it will be necessary to replace it.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY
Before starting the assembly proper, please read these directions for installation. The assembly should be carried out by qualified personnel, such as electricians, HVAC technicians, or persons with technical knowledge.
The fire dampers are mounted on ventilation ducts, at the wall bushings through the walls defining the fire compartments.
The opening fill will be carried with basaltic mineral wool (having a density between 140 -180 kg/m3 – e.g. 50 mm ROCKWOOL mineral wool) and the outer sides will be finished with common finishing items (drywall, plaster putty – e.g. Rigips).
Phase 1. Cut a pocket in the wall with sizes of at least 120 mm larger than the size of the FD-EI 120S fire damper, but no larger than 200 mm.
Phase 2. Place a layer of mineral wool (density between 120-140 kg/m3 – e.g. ROCKWOOL mineral wool) of 50mm thickness. Above it put the FD-E120S fire damper.
Phase 3. The mounting of the FD-EI 120S fire damper inside a construction element should be made so as, when closed, the blade to be in front of it.
Phase 4. Fill the remaining gap with basaltic mineral wool.
Phase 5. For finishing, cover the area between the wall and fire damper with strips of cardboard gypsum of minimum 150 mm width. For cold sealing, apply silicone to the joint area between the cardboard gypsum and the fire damper. In case the wall is wider and the damper fails to reach the outer limit, the fire damper is coupled with the first section of the piping and is mounted incorporated.
Phase 6. Following the installation, check that fire damper is functioning properly.
MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure the correct and uninterrupted operation, the FD-E120S type fire dampers must be inspected and operated regularly.
Rectangular fire dampers require an execution of service verifications every six months.
Each verification of the rectangular fire dampers shall be completed with an adequate report.
