Fresh Thinking: Smoke & Natural Ventilation

EBUILDING FRESH THINKING IN VENTILATION 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 1. 6. 1. Natural Ventilation Controls Natural, non-mechanical ventilation provides the optimum solution and puts climate control in the hands of occupants of a building. Windows that allow as much fresh air in as possible are most effective. Smoke Ventilation Control 2. Smoke ventilation is crucial in the event of a fire. By having an effective system installed, you can automatically trigger the opening of smoke vents as soon as it's detected, therefore releasing the deadly fumes from the building. 3 Chain Actuators Chain actuators are the modern, elegant solution to window and vent automation. Designed to lie flat on window profiles to allow for natural ventilation. When closed, the chain disappears into the actuator housing. Roof-Mounted Ventilation 4. Roof-mounted ventilation solutions are available for both smoke and natural ventilation systems. A range of different types are available, including air vents, domelights and louvres, but ail with one thing in mind, and that's efficient ventilating. 5. Linear Actuators Linear actuators are fitted with a steel rack or spindle, which is guided vertically into a tube housing, which provides Targe opening forces and strokes. Linear actuators are used most frequently in roof areas to activate dome lights, sky lights and roof windows. Locking Drives 6. A locking drive is an electro-mechanical device that locks windows and vents after closure. You're able to lock or unlock which is remote control operated. 1 Louvre Drives Louvre drives give electronic control to louvre banks with the added benefits of many features of linear actuators. A high speed function which is ideal for smoke ventilation. INFOGRAPHIC BY. DYER www.DYERENVIRONMENTAL.co.UK Environmental Contrels Limited
