Fire compartmentation is designed for buildings that have been divided into areas of manageable risk; helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in the event of an emergency.
Fire Dampers are a crucial aspect of a buildings compartmentation.
Buildings that use fire compartmentation have a much more efficient fire strategy and evacuation procedure.
Fire Damper Fire dampers play a crucial role in a building’s fire safety system. The difference between a well maintained, working fire damper and a poorly maintained partially working fire damper can be the difference between life and death in the case of a fire.
How Do Fire Dampers Work?
In the most common design, a fusible link holds a spring-loaded shutter open. When the temperature (typically 72° C) is reached the link ‘fuses’ or melts and the shutter drops to stop the passage of hot air and smoke.
New regulations state that actuated or motorised dampers should be installed on all protected escape routes that are linked to a fire detection system to restrict the passage of smoke-filled air into the escape route.
Why Test And Inspect Fire And Smoke Dampers?
Fire dampers play a crucial role in a building’s fire safety system. If they don’t operate as designed fire can spread with rapid, lethal results. Headline incidents involving considerable loss of life include the MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas & the Dusseldorf Airport fire
it is recommended that Fire Dampers are tested annually to ensure they operate correctly when required and as certified inspectors of fire dampers we can competently inspect and report on the fire dampers in your building.
