The rectangular fire dampers provide protection against a possible fire spreading through ventilation – air conditioning ductwork, for 240 minutes.

The fire dampers are used in ventilation and air conditioning installations serving office buildings, industrial buildings, commercial areas, hospitals, concerts and competition halls.

The fire dampers close automatically at the occurrence of high temperatures by means of a spring or anactuator.

Our company produces rectangular fire dampers in order to isolate the gaps between the fire compartments.

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 fire-resistant material, of (MGO) magnesium oxide type, with 20 mm thickness.

Inside the casing there are the expansion gasket, the shutter blade, elements ofthe actuating mechanism, the sealing profile (for ensuring tightness at ambient temperature) and the fire expandable sealing (Intumex L-HP) in order to ensuretightness in case of fire.

The locking element is made of Fireboard (MGO) sandwich panels with a thickness of at least 60 mm (20 mm MGO + 20mm mineral wool + 20 mm MGO).

This thickness ensures fire resistance for 240 minutes.

The actuating mounting (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 thelocking valve. When the actuator is supplied with voltage, it rotates by bringing the 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 ofdriving 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 therestraint limits – the rotation axis of the fire damper will not go beyond the wall.

Followinga 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.

The interior size is the size of the damper casing on the inside.For example, a FD – EI240S 4NM – T 800×500 fire damper has the horizontal interior size (x) 800 mm and height (Y) of 500 mm. Usual sizes:

Upon the beneficiary’s request, the FD-EI240S dampers can be madein other sizes than those in the table.

In order to know the overall dimension of the fire damper, it is calculated the interior size + 70 mm, representing the flange of attachment in the wall. To this dimension it must also be taken into account that on the side with actuator it is added another 60 mm over the outer dimension.

The depth of the 240-minute fire dampers varies depending on the Y size of the damper. In the case of the FD – EI240S 4NM – T 800x500fire damper, the depth is of 400 mm, without the attachment flange. This depth varies as follows:

• 200 ≤ Y ≤ 250, debth = 250 (without the attachment flange);
• 250 < Y ≤ 300, debth = 300 (without the attachment flange);
• Y > 300, debth = 400(without the attachment flange).

Fire resistance according to EN 1366-2

Tightness class 2 according to EN 1751 standard

CE marking

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 dampersare equipped with Swiss actuators, made by Belimo 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 damper with a thermal sensor, which will trigger the actuator at the set temperature of 72.

The fire dampersdelivery will only take place accompanied by the following documents:

– Document of origin
– Declaration concerning quality and conformity
– Declaration of performance
– Directions for installation
– Maintenance and operating directions

On the fire damper it is attached the product label specifying the product identification data (sizes, batch series, manufacturing date), as well as the CE marking number.

The beneficiary has to check the compliance of these data with those of the ordered product.

The warranty period of the product is 24 months from the date of signing without objection the document of origin (delivery note and/or invoice), but not more than 65 months from the delivery, subject to putting into operation according to the technical documentation and compliance with the conditions of transport, handling, storage and mounting according to the directions.

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.

For storage there are no 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.

Before starting the mounting proper, please read these directions for installation.

The mounting 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. Hole in the wall is made with sizes of 100 mm larger than the size of the FD-EI 240S fire damper.

Phase 2. Place a layer of mineral wool (density between 120-140 kg/m3 – e.g. ROCKWOOL mineral wool) of 50 mm thickness. Above it put the FD-EI240S fire damper.

Phase 3. The mounting of the FD-EI240S 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.

Phase 6. Following the installation, check that fire damper is functioning properly.

In order to ensure the correct and uninterrupted operation, the FD-EI240S 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.

Controls recommended for fire dampers

Rectangular fire dampers are an integral part of an installation. It is recommended to check the system entirety according to the requirements related to the installation operating and maintenance.

The lifetime of rectangular FD EI240S fire dampers is 25 years.
