• Once the smoke evacuation systems detects the
presence of smoke, it activates fans and dampers
to control air pressure and channel the smoke
away from occupied areas of your facility.
Exhaust can be used to keep doors and dampers
used so that zone barriers remain intact.
 Purposes of smoke control systems

According TO NFPA 92A (2000) the purpose of smoke Control systems include:

• Inhibiting migration of smoke out of the source compartment.

• Inhibiting smoke from entering means of egress (maintaining tenable environment for evacuees).

• Maintaining a tenable environment outside of the source compartment for emergency personnel;

• Protecting life, and

• Reducing damage to property.

Reading between the lines this list reveals that smoke Control is not used to a maintain tenable
conditions in the fire Compartment, and that the means of egress needs to be thoroughly identified
and effectively separated from other areas of the building.

Pressurization Fan Is used to push back on smoke,
keeping the smoke out of the escape route.
 Fire-Resisting Damper Prevents the spread of fire through
heating, ventilation, and AC ducts, which helps to stop a
fire from spreading.

Smoke Exhaust Fan Designed to remove smoke and heat

from building in the event of fire.

 Smoke Exhaust Damper can be additionally equipped with
a smoke exhaust grille, it is used to entirely block the
external view of the damper internals in the absence of
strict requirements to the unit appearance.

Smoke Alarm/Detector Is a device that senses smoke,

typically indicator of fire.

Smoke evacuation systems are designed to slow down or prevent the movement of
smoke into exit areas or other “safe zones” within your building. Many buildings such
as high-rises, hospitals, and atrium covered shopping centers are required by state law
and building fire codes to implement smoke evacuation and control systems within
their structure, however businesses of any size can benefit from a smoke control
system.

A common question regarding smoke evacuation is why a smoke control system

is needed. For starters, these systems can extend the timeframe for building
occupants to exit the structure safely. In addition, they contribute to the
protection of your property and equipment, can assist emergency response
workers and also play a large role in post-fire smoke removal.
 Our smoke evacuation systems can help
save lives during fire emergencies, help
maintain a clear path for occupants to exit
the building and can significantly reduce the
damage of property, data and equipment
caused by smoke.
