A fire damper can be defined as a product that is used for passive fire protection in HVAC ducts. This helps in the prevention of fire inside the ductwork through all fire resistant rated floors and walls. There are also many fire and smoke dampers that are similar to the fire dampers that help in the prevention as well as the spread of smoke inside the ducts. Whenever there is a rise in the temperature, the fire damper effectively closes, and this is usually activated with the help of a thermal element that melts at any temperature higher than ambient.
Wide range of fire dampers by KAD Air Conditioning
KAD Air Conditioning is a prominent company because it has a good range of fire dampers in its HVAC duct system. This range of fire dampers helps customers to fulfill different types of needs and requirements. A typical UL fire damper is designed for the protection of an individual zone or a room just by sealing any supply of an extracted air. For example, a mechanical fire damper functions by shutting down the cross sectional area of a particular duct in the event of a fire, and this is done either by means of a particular fire resistant board or various steel shutters.
On the other hand, intumescent dampers function by swelling shut because of any type of intumescence in the event of a fire. Unlike other mechanical dampers, it is the chemical and physical reaction that causes this closure to work. When both intumescent and mechanical fire dampers combine, a PFP system or a passive fire protection system is formed.
Thus it is essential to go for a UL listed fire damper because it helps in safeguarding many things with respect to safety and efficiency. This helps a lot of people, in the long run, to protect themselves from hazardous circumstances that arise in the event of a fire. Thus KAD Air Conditioning has made sure that all fire dampers are of the most robust and efficient quality because in the long run safety is what matters.
