Ventilation applications Air treatment, distribution, control and feedback The world's most comprehensive range of electrical actuator solutions for air dampers of up to 8 m2 includes rotary and linear actuators with a wide range of motorisation levels and actuating times. The actuators cover almost all motorisation requirements for the control of air flows in air-conditioning plants, from treatment and distribution to feedback and retreatment. The product range also includes special actuators for indoor and outdoor use in harsh ambient conditions. As the perfect complement to the actuators, Belimo offers a comprehensive product range of sensors for measuring air temperature, humidity and quality. Differential pressure sensors guarantee an accurate filter monitoring to optimally plan the service calls in advance. Water applications Efficient operation of heating and cooling circuits In addition to motorised butterfly valves and globe valves, Belimo supplies unique, air-bubble tight characterised control valves for the precise control of heating and cooling circuits without energy loss. Pressure-independent characterised control valves always ensure the correct amount of water thanks to permanent dynamic balancing, even if there are differential pressure changes and during partial load operation. The forward-looking Belimo Energy Valve™ with integrated logic allows energy flows to be mo- nitored and optimised. The integrated delta T manager ensures that the differential temperature does not fall below defined values and that the heat exchanger is always run in the energy-efficient range. Tight-sealing valves of the Belimo ZoneTight™ product range are the ideal solution for energy-saving, unproblematic room and zone control in tight spaces. Retrofit applications Giving new verve to old systems For renovations in existing construction and replacements for older actuators on air dampers, globe valves and rotary valves, Belimo supplies a comprehensive product range of special Retrofit motorisation solutions. Their parameters can be set precisely on site to the prevailing requirements. Retrofit globe and rotary actuators can be mounted practically on all common valve makes with only a few steps. Handy VAV-Retrofit kits with controllers, actuators and differential pressure sensors are available for replacing defective or pneumatic VAV devices. To easily determine the right replacement actuators or sensors, Belimo has developed a Retrofit tool which determines the suitable actuator using different parameters. Open the Retrofit tool: The tool can be used everywhere – on site or in the office. Now also with optical character recognition (OCR). The software recognises the actuator labelling and connects the relevant text modules with the RetroFIT database. For every fi eld of application. Safety solutions Protecting life and material assets from fi re and smoke Fires represent the greatest potential threat to people and tangible assets in buildings. Effi cient fi re protection saves lives in times of danger, helps minimise property damage and secures the continued operation of com- panies. The best protection against the spread of fi re and smoke through the ductwork is provided by compartmentalisation using motorised fi re dampers. Smoke control systems with motorised smoke control dampers ensure smoke-free escape and rescue routes. System protection Avoiding damage in the event of interruptions to operation Fail-safe actuators protect valuable systems from damage caused by ice, water and steam. Particularly in the event of a power supply voltage failure, this actuator product range moves the dampers to the predefi ned fail-safe position. Depending on the actuator, short power failures can be bridged for up to 10 seconds and the fail-safe positions can be individually defi ned. Unnecessary failures and convenience impairments are thereby prevented. Bus and system integration Monitoring and controlling systems from a central location Belimo actuators can be easily integrated into intelligent building manage- ment systems. Actuators with an integrated BACnet, Modbus and KNX interface are available for direct connections. MP actuators can be used to combine up to eight different control elements into one MP-Bus section and connect to virtually any supervisory system with greatly reduced wiring costs. Different adjustment and service tools as well as the Belimo Cloud make the installation, monitoring and optimisation easier. IoT actuators communicate via Ethernet and synchronise directly with the Belimo Cloud. Belimo Cloud Room and system solutions Ensuring individual comfort and saving energy Used in offi ces, public buildings, production halls, commercial premises or sensitive operating areas, volumetric fl ow controllers, actuators and sensors ensure an optimum room climate while consuming minimal levels of energy. They can be used as VAV-Compact or VAV-Universal devices. The latter ensure safe conditioning in room pressure applications.

FOREWORD This technical guide was prepared in response to increasing concerns over the requirements for through-penetration firestopping as mandated by codes, specified by system designers, and required by code officials and/or other authorities having jurisdiction. The language in the model codes, the definitions used, and the expectations of local code authorities varies widely among the model codes and has caused confusion in the building construction industry. Contractors are often forced to bear the brunt of inadequate or confusing specifications, misunderstandings of code requirements, and lack of adequate plan review prior to construction. This guide contains descriptions, illustrations, definitions, recommendations on industry practices, designations of responsibility, references to other documents and guidance on plan and specification requirements. It is intended to be a generic educational tool for use by all parties to the construction process. Firestopping Guideline • Second Edition iii FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROL COMMITTEE Phillip E.

  • Basis of Design
    UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Mechanical Facilities Services Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Design Guide Ductwork and Duct Accessories Basis of Design This section applies to the design and installation of ductwork, air terminal boxes, air outlets and inlets, volume dampers, pressure relief dampers, smoke/fire dampers, and smoke/fire damper actuators. Design Criteria Select duct velocities to meet N.C. requirements of each occupied space. NC level requirements shall be identified in the Basis of Design narrative. Coordinate required NC levels with University Project Manager and users. Supply, Return and Non Fume Exhaust Ductwork Provide a 6-inch pressure rating for supply ductwork and plenums between the supply fan and the zone terminal boxes; for ductwork downstream of the terminal box, provide a 2-inch pressure rating. If pressure classes less than those given above are considered sufficient for a specific application, review with Engineering Services before specifying a lower rating. Use the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals chapter on duct design to determine the allowable leakage rate (cfm/100 sq.ft.) at the specified test pressure for each type of ductwork on the project other than fume exhaust ductwork. Specify for each type of ductwork the duct pressure rating, the pressure to apply during the duct leakage test, and the allowable cfm/100 sq.ft. leakage rate at the test pressure. Minimize use of square elbows. Provide turning vanes in square elbows of supply ductwork. Do not use turning vanes in return or exhaust ductwork. To minimize noise levels in the space, specify balancing dampers in lieu of registers. Provide a balancing damper for each outlet and each inlet.

    Aalto University School of Engineering Degree programme in Mechanical Engineering Fire Induced Flow in Building Ventilation Systems Master’s Thesis 01.03.2016 Rahul Kallada Janardhan Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo, March 1, 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Simo Hostikka Advisor: Timo Korhonen 1 Author: Rahul Kallada Janardhan Title: Fire Induced Flows in Building Ventilation Systems Date: 01.03.2015 Pages: 69 + 31 Major: Mechanical Engineering Code: IA3027 Supervisor: Professor Simo Hostikka Advisor: Timo Korhonen Fast growing fires inside compartments with limited paths for expanded gases to escape leads to a rapid pressure rise. High pressure can cause smoke to flow through supply vents into the adjacent rooms and can also cause structural damage. In Finland, apartments are fitted with a distinctive double door system and the inner door opens inwards into the apartment. The opening of this door could be difficult under high pressure conditions and the effect of pressure on egress possibilities of occupants was an issue of discussion in Finland. Extensive studies have not been made to better understand the influence of ventilation networks on pressure and smoke spread possibilities. The main objective of this thesis work is to investigate the development of pressure during fires in residential buildings and the influence of ventilation networks on pressure and smoke spread through buildings. It also aims to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the CFD code, Fire Dynamics Simulator for modelling HVAC networks and provide fire safety designers with guidelines to model and simulate pressure development and ventilation system response.
