RECTANGULAR SMOKE CONTROL DAMPERS SD-EI120S-M

The smoke control dampers are used in ventilation and air conditioning installations from office buildings, industrial buildings, commercial spaces, hospitals, auditoriums andcompetition halls.

The dampers for the control of smoke and hot gases are used in smoke and hot gas control systems as measures of venting smoke and for lowering the number of fire-resistant pipes and fans.

The system for smoke and hot gas control can evacuate the smoke either by using fire resistant fans or by natural ventilation.

The pipes on which smoke control dampers are mounted generally serve several fire compartments. The systems can be used exclusively for smoke evacuation or can be part of a mixed system of ventilation/exhaust.

The dampers open at the request of the fire prevention installation, with the help of an electromagnet. These must fulfill the following conditions: smoke and hot gas tightness, mechanical stability and maintain their cross-section.

Depending on the scenario for fire and placing, the SD-EI120S-M acts so:

  1. remain closed, in which case it insulates the respective compartment from the hot gases that are exhausted through the column on which the damper is mounted;
  2. open at the occurrence of the event in order to allow the suction of smoke and hot gases from the enclosure;

open at the appearance of the smoke for its atmospheric evacuation and for fresh air intake.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION

The damper for smoke control is made of opposable blades made of class A fireproof material with a 40 mm thickness, environmentally friendly building material, the magnesium oxide plate is strong and resistant thanks to the very strong connections between the magnesium atoms and oxygen which form magnesium oxide crystals (with the chemical formula MgO).

The blades are mounted in a housing made of the same material, with a thickness of 20 mm. Case is provided on both sides with metal flanges for connecting to ducts ventilation.

The case is made from MGO board of 20 mm. Case is provided on both sides with metal flanges (thickness – 1.2mm) for connecting to ducts ventilation. Fixing the flange to case is done with pop rivet 5x30mm.

The locking elements (opposable blades) are made of MGO boards, with 40 mm thickness ( 2 layers of 20 mm), Fixing between boards is made with M5x45 bolts and joint paste NevPanel. This thickness ensures fire resistance for 120 minutes.

The forces to which the door can be subjected being able to reach up to 100 Kg/m2. The blades have at their ends Ø 10 steel shafts through which it is the performed the mechanism turning. The shafts pass through bushing in the case.

Between the housing and the blades there is inox profile of 0.4 mm. Attach to this there is intumex gasket( 30 x 1.8 mm) that expands at high temperature and EPDM silicone rubber gasket, type „D” for ensuring leakeage at ambient temperature. These components ensures sealing if the blades must remain close.

On blades for providing insulation at high temperatures, intumescent gasket (10 x 1.8 mm) is applied through out the entire length of the blade. For cold insulation it is applied EPDM silicone rubber gasket, type „D”, on the length of the blade.

The atuation mechanism is made of multiple components of different thickness (1.5 – 2 – 3 mm), mounted at the end of the shafts. These parts are laser cut for high accuracy. These components are fixing with screws for adjustments of the blades. After adjustment is complete components are welded toghether.

Over the actuation mechanims is mounted a galvanized metal case of 1mm and MGO board of 20mm for protection. On this case is also mounted the actuation motor. To fix the motor use M5x80 mm bolts and rivet nut M5.

The SD-EI120S-M are equipped with Gruner type actuator, mounted on the shaft of the locking blade. When the actuator is supplied with voltage, it rotates by bringing the damper to the closed/open position.

The smoke control dampers with actuators close or open depending on the purpose for which they have been mounted in the ventilation system.

Triggering and control mechanisms: axial actuator, within the series of products intended for smoke control dampers.

The proper functioning of the SD-EI120S-M is ensured when the axis of rotation is the horizontal one.

The assembly of the smoke control dampers in the piping is carried out by connecting them with the angle brackets / vises. Following a proper mounting of the smoke control damper, in case it has controls or other elements that require connection to the electrical system, the cables of this system must resist to fire 100 seconds and must be properly connected to the smoke control damper.
