FIRE AND SMOKE DAMPER CLEANING
The HVAC system that has become the necessity of almost every home has proved itself foliage in the age of global warming. It is a system of ducts and other important parts joint together to bring the conditioned air inside but it is quite prone to catch fire if not inspected properly.
These systems have a fire or smoke dampers which prevent the fire and smoke to spread up in an HVAC based building. But with the accumulation of dirt, debris, and obstruction caused by corrosion, broken springs, or poor installation and maintenances can cause the functioning of fire and smoke damper cleaning to be inefficient.
This can pose a threat of serious some or fire in the HVAC system. It can take only one faulty damper to allow the catastrophic spread of fire and smoke. Rely on Robotic Cleaning services for ensuring your HVAC system is risk-free from such hazards.
HOW DOES A FIRE OR SMOKE DAMPER WORK?
Fire and smoke dampers are passive fire protection that is provided inside the HVAC ducts to prevent the spread of fire through fire-resistance-rated walls and floors. These dampers work as an indicator of the presence of fire.
When they smell the rise of temperature, they are shut down through the activation of a thermal element. Besides it they can be attached with a fire alarm system that will send a signal whenever it finds the ignition of the fire.
So a fire damper can be defined as “a device installed in ducts and air transfer opening of an air distribution or smoke control system designed to close automatically upon detection of fire. It also serves to interrupt migratory airflow, resist the passage of flame, and maintain the fire-rated separation.”
As the importance of these devices has been proved we are supposed to inspect them to prevent any unfortunate happening in the future. So it is highly recommended that each fire damper must be tested and inspected at least once a year after the installation. If fire dampers are in the area of high dust then the inspection should be done on a more regular basis.
WHAT HAS TO BE INSPECTED
Inspecting a fire and smoke damper we have to make sure that
- There should not be any deformity or damage in the fusible link.
- Is there any serious corrosion or not.
- Inventory of all the dampers has to be tested.
- The fire or smoke damper has been cleaned or lubricated within the closed position
- The dust is removed or not properly.
- There must not be the accumulation of any unwanted material.
- It is better to produce the digitalized photograph of the dampers showing before and after the condition.
