Importance of UL classified fire dampers





Fire dampers are one of the important parts of the HVAC system and are installed in the ducts
to prevent the spread of fire in the system through the walls, floors and partitions in the duct
system. Fire and smoke dampers are expected to safeguard the public from fire and smoke
hazards during a fire situation and protect the firefighters during emergency operations. They
are used to restrict the spread of fire in the duct system and are employed in the air transfer
openings in the walls and partitions. Fire dampers are manufactured with certain codes and
rules to ensure the best outcome out of it. Fire dampers manufactured as per UL certification
determines the products suitability for specific applications.

The UL classified fire damper are manufactured by reputed and internationally approved fire
damper manufacturing companies. They act as a barrier and prevent the fire from spreading in
the duct system. These UL555 fire dampers undergo proper inspection and certain gradation to
ensure its safety. UL test is the basic standard test for dampers. This test ensures that the
dampers will properly function in all fire conditions. It is important to check the UL certification of
the fire dampers as it reflects the operational reliability, hose stream test, dynamic closure and
fire test. The UL classified fire damper can be used in both dynamic and static HVAC systems.
The UL fire damper are subjected to the highest standards of fire exposure and are controlled
to achieve a specified temperature level within the specified time period.

Fire dampers classified under UL are rigorously tested. The UL mark on fire dampers means
that the product has been tested and evaluated whether they meet the requirements of the
applicable standards. The UL certified dampers are periodically checked at the manufacturing
facility to determine whether they comply with the standards.

Why should you get Non-Coated Fire Rated Ducts from KAD Air Conditioning?

Image
  Non-coated fire rated ducts are useful for preventing the initial spread of fire between different parts of a building. There are multiple benefits of non-coated firerated ductwork. They are low in maintenance. Therefore, they become cost-effective. Since they do not need spraying or curing of coating, production can be faster.     They are compatible with other system components like attenuators. They look better than the other ducts. They are safe to use and it is seen that they are suitable for different ventilation applications. These ducts are made with superior methods and design specifications. Therefore, the non-coated firerated ducts have a high rating for fire resilience.   They can be customized to the needs of the client. One of the leading non-coated firerated duct manufacturers in the UAE is KAD Air Conditioning. There are specifications of the non-coated fire rated ductwork by KAD Air Conditioning that make KAD ideal selection for these...

Kind of Ducting should be used for Centralized Air Conditioning Units

  Centralized Air Conditioning Systems are ducted. That is, the hot and cold air can easily move across the entire area through the AC ducts . They are important for providing ventilation too. It is therefore imperative to have good quality ducts. It’s important the ducts be kept clean as contaminants can accumulate in them. The dust, grime, and in some cases insects and rodents, in the ducts can adversely affect the air quality. Compromised air quality is not good for health and can give rise to illnesses. The impurities in the ducts also hamper the efficiency of the HVAC units. It increases the electricity expenditure. A ducted unit should help to save on maintenance costs. Keeping everything in mind, it becomes very important to keep some factors in mind while deciding on ducts for Centralized Air Conditioning systems.   Quality of the material used ·         The material used for AC Ducts should be one that resists corrosion. A ve...

How do smoke dampers work?

Image
  A building fire protection system is designed to prevent the spread of fire and to keep the occupants safe. Fire dampers and smoke dampers are part of this fire protection system. These dampers are often kept out of sight and it requires regular inspection and repairs. The main purpose of smoke dampers is to prevent the spread of smoke. In the event of a fire incident, smokes can quickly and easily spread through a building. The easiest way for the smoke to spread is through the ventilation system of the building. Smoke damper installation is very important as smoke inhalation is a leading cause of death during fire accidents. Smoke dampers are specifically designed to be installed in the ductwork to prevent the spread of smoke between sections. It will start working once the smoke is detected by a smoke detector. The smoke detector will be sending a signal to the actuator attached to the smoke damper. The blades of the smoke damper will be opened and closed by the jack-shaft...
