Learning outcomes

  • Today we will cover…
  • Why smoke control is important
  • Overview of Smoke Control Dampers (compared to fire

dampers)

  • Smoke Control Damper classifications
  • Look at strategies and best practice
slide-7
SLIDE 7

Key fire and smoke terminology

  • Compartmentation is…
  • Keeping the fire and smoke limited to one part of a building
  • Cause and effect is…
  • Which dampers open
  • Which dampers close
  • Some of these dampers will be fire dampers, some smoke

dampers

  • Details hot/cold smoke extraction
  • The wider cause and effect may include AOVs, fans and fire

doors

Why Smoke Control?

Our industry understands better than most that it is not the fire that kills, but smoke.

  • Grenfell Tower - shock waves through the building services

industry.

  • Under the radar … until disaster
slide-9
SLIDE 9

…Smoke is the #1 Killer in UK Fires.

The drive towards compliance….

  • Product Standard BS EN12101-8
  • Classification Standard BS EN13501-4
  • Test Standard BS EN1366-10
  • First published April 2011
  • Widely used in Europe for smoke control
  • UK had previously favoured fail-safe closed actuators, part 10

uses drive open/drive closed.

  • Post-Grenfell fire, industry re-focusing on standards and

applications.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Fire Dampers (MSFD or FD)

Fire damper function is to maintain compartmentation

  • Fire dampers to be CE marked to BS EN 15650
  • Tested to BS EN 1366-2
  • Classified to BS EN 13501-3

Fire Dampers ✓ have thermal release mechanism at 72*C ✓ fail safe-close ✓ have fire resistance in closed position ✓ have known leakage characteristics (determining classification ‘E’ or ‘ES’)

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Smoke Control Dampers (MSD)

Smoke control damper function is to contain/maintain an extraction path for smoke.

  • The CE marked to BS EN 12101-8
  • Tested to BS EN 1366-2 and BS EN1366-10
  • Classified to BS EN 13501-4

Smoke control dampers: ✓ Drive to open or closed position < 60 seconds ✓ Maintain their position – non-fail safe ✓ Have known leakage characteristics ✓ Maintain free area in open position at standard or elevated temperatures

We will now look at the last three parts of the classification in more detail!

Classification Breakdown

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Hot 400/30

The test to achieve this part of the classification involves cycling the damper whilst the damper is under elevated temperature

  • The test is 60 minutes long
  • The damper is cycled every 150 seconds for the first 30 minutes

rising from ambient to 400 degrees within 7 minutes.

  • After 30 minutes the damper is to remains open for the duration
  • f the test and the time temperature curve goes back to the

standard time temperature curve. (38 minutes - 877°C, ending at 60 minutes - 945°C)

  • Passing only the Hot400/30 test does NOT mean a damper is

1366-10

slide-23
SLIDE 23

AA / MA

Typically we use AA dampers in the UK for cold smoke clearance…

  • AA Smoke control system with automatic activation smoke control

system (smoke and heat exhaust ventilation type or pressure differential type), that operates automatically on receipt of a smoke

  • r fire alarm without any manual action/intervention NOTE systems

with an attended control room classed as an automatic system.

  • MA Smoke control system with manual intervention smoke control

system (smoke and heat exhaust ventilation type or pressurization type), that will be put into manual operation, on detection smoke or

  • fire. This is instigated with human intervention leading to a sequence
  • f automatic actions.
  • For most applications, we recommend using an AA system with

dedicated damper control panel

Multi / Single

Single compartment smoke control damper : “smoke control dampers for use in single compartment areas, which may be associated with smoke control duct tested according to EN1366-9 and/or may be installed in an external wall, floor or roof [ceiling]“ Multi compartment fire resisting smoke control damper: “smoke control dampers for use in multi compartment areas, which may be associated with smoke control duct tested according to EN1366-8 and/or may be installed within or on the face of a fire compartment structure"

Closed Open Single compartment Single compartment Multi compartment Multi compartment Fire resistant walls Extract

Typical basement smoke extract example

  • Application is for smoke

clearance from a basement – common in central London.

  • Controlled by dedicated

panel which will control the behavior of the damper

  • Provide route for extracting

smoke

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Cause and effect

  • The building is

divided into zones

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Cause and effect

  • These zones are normally then mapped into a spreadsheet –

which is used by all parties to ensure a joined-up controls strategy across fire alarm, damper, AHU/extract fans and the BMS

  • Used by panel manufacturer to add controls logic to the panel
slide-32
SLIDE 32

Controls

  • Life safety product, with a <10s reaction time
  • Thermal protection of devices and networks is

paramount in event of fire

  • There are numerous devices involved in the

actuation of dampers

  • Damper
  • SDI decoder interface
  • Cabling
  • Damper Control Panel
  • Benefits of using a dedicated damper control panel

manufacturer

  • Capable of complex ‘Cause and Effect’
  • Integration into BMS systems
  • Scheduled damper testing and status alerts

BESA DW145 Guidelines

  • Important aspects of FSD

installations including

  • Responsibility of all parties involved

in the overall sequence from system specification through to compliant installation.

  • Emphasis is placed on all parties to

work as a team.

  • DW145 indicates particular

responsibilities that are allocated

  • n a project specific basis.

RIBA Plan of Works Stages – how can we apply this to Smoke Control

RIBA Stage 2 - concept design Building designed into zones - engage specialist manufacturer RIBA Stage 3 - developed design Draft cause and effect strategy for dampers RIBA Stage 4 - Detailed design Specify correct dampers according to cause and effect RIBA Stage 5 – Construction Engage with building control and specialists on site RIBA Stage 6 - Handover Utilise specialist manufacturers to support commissioning

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Conclusion

  • Design your cause and effect early to outline cause and effect –

then specify dampers, controls and actuators accordingly

  • Take note of the ductwork specification 1366-8
  • Smoke control is about providing a path for extracting smoke
  • Recommended you use a dedicated controls system
  • Make sure you use Multi Compartment vs Single Compartment

dampers correctly

  • A joined up approach – start to finish – key to executing the

strategy
