HVAC Fire Dampers
HVAC fire dampers play a crucial role in emergencies. They prevent fire and smoke from spreading within the ductwork, allowing occupants to evacuate safely while enabling firefighters to access the building. These dampers respond to heat, closing their doors when temperatures reach a specific point. Static fire dampers are located in vertical barriers, while dynamic fire dampers shut off the fan when needed. Ensuring the proper functioning of these dampers can save lives during fire emergencies.
