Metal Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation System PRESSURISATION

smoke and heat extractor

A pressurisation system consists of three main components: Supply Air (where air is injected into the area that is to be protected), Pressure Relief (to avoid overpressure when doors are closed) and Air Release (air and smoke is released from the adjoining fire area). Combining these elements creates a positive pressure difference that prevents lobbies and staircases from filling up with smoke. A pressurisation system for smoke and fire ventilation should meet the recommendations of Approved Document B and BS EN 12101-6 "Specification for Pressure Differential Systems" or BS 5588-4 - "Code of practice for smoke control using pressure differentials".

In commercial buildings pressurisation is normally carried through up to the final door to the accommodation, with air release provided from the accommodation.
