AOVS, ROLLER SHUTTERS, SMOKE CURTAINS, FIRE DAMPERS
Regular servicing of AOVs, roller shutters, smoke curtains, and fire dampers is crucial to ensure their proper functionality in emergency situations. Regular maintenance helps identify and address any issues or malfunctions, ensuring that these systems operate effectively when needed most. By maintaining these fire safety components, building owners can minimize potential damage to property and lives.
AOVs or Automatic Opening Vents are a crucial part of fire safety systems in buildings. In the event of a fire, they help to vent smoke and hot gases from the building, allowing occupants to evacuate safely and firefighters to access the building more easily. AOVs can be activated automatically by smoke detectors, heat detectors, or fire alarm systems. They can also be manually activated by building occupants or emergency responders.
In fire safety systems, roller shutters can be linked to fire detection and alarm systems for automatic activation in the event of a fire. This ensures that the shutters close promptly to contain the fire and protect occupants and property.
A fire damper is a passive fire protection device installed within heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork or ventilation openings in buildings. Its primary purpose is to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ducts or ventilation systems from one compartment or area of a building to another.
