Curb Down The Air Distribution Constraints
It’s very important to keep in mind all aspects of safety when constructing a building or a house. Because the materials we use are not proofed for everything, we need certain extra security measures in order to maintain a sense of security for unforeseen circumstances. Houses need to be protected against natural disasters as well as man-made disasters such as explosions and fires. Fires always get out of hand and are almost never stopped on time. A bigger fire is even worse to handle; the bigger it is, the faster it spreads and the more out of control it is. Because of emergency fire situations, we have fire protection plans. These plans work on warning, stopping, minimizing and containing the damage caused by fires to property and people.
Active fire systems involve systems that work on alerting people about the fire, installing fire and smoke barriers and mostly just evacuating people so that damage to life can be avoided. Active fire protection systems work towards these aims which are great for some situations but you also need passive fire protection systems. Passive protection systems work on minimizing and containing fire damage in order to save damage to life and property. These systems include smoke and fire dampers, which work on containing the damage. In a fire or an explosion, the thing that matters the most is speed. These dampers turn on automatically and then they shut off pipes and systems so that the fire can’t spread through the rooms. Research has shown that these systems work best in conjunction with each other, because it is a much more comprehensive plan.
Research also shows that one of the leading causes of death is not fire, but the toxic smoke that fires emit. So typically buildings have fire dampers installed with smoke dampers. But the better solution these days is to install a fire smoke damper which is a combination damper. It also has an electric fusible link which means that it switches off in a controlled manner, in case of an explosion, and doesn’t just shut off with force, ensuring that no vacuum is created in pipes and ducts. These dampers comply with international safety standards and companies that manufacture them strive towards providing the best standards to their clients. Fire protection systems are most comprehensive when they are both passive and active so that all the bases are covered properly.
