The greater risk and threats to life by the increase in the level or incidents of terrorism as well as the rise in the global warming due to afforestation and the increased chances of fire in the buildings due to the global rise in temperature of the earth and the possibility of equipment getting fire has lead the scientists and designers to come up with the methods and means to provide safeguard from the fire in case of its outburst. Now most of the buildings are places in the world are multistoried and the individual heating and cooling of these skyscrapers could be very expensive which is why they are using the centralized HVAC system, which can serve as a channel for flames in case of fire.
Therefore it is important to have blast damper installed in your building in the HVAC system, which protects the residents as well as the materials, tools and equipment, in the incident of fire or explosion, or by the overpressure due to any other reasons. Therefore they are installed in the inlets and the outer section. Following are some of the facts that you need to know:
- The blast damper is designed in a way that they stop or halt the blow up power and forces of the overpressure from not entering through the HVAC ducts, but also from passing inside the ducts of the HVAC and thus they prevent the loss of life and equipment.
- These are designed in a way that they remain rigid and are fully welded and shaped so as to serve the purpose for which they are designed.
- These also have a well and specifically designed and constructed debris catcher, which has the capacity to direct the force of explosion or over pressure into he blade pack and thus protect the buildings from the hazards of fire or overpressure.
- In the incident of fire, the debris catcher helps in the insolation of the forces of blow or over pressure and the materials so that the explosion or its damage can be minimized or neutralized to as much as possible.
- The blades that are designed in a way so that explosion break mechanism is installed and thus is used in case of overpressure and also ensure the safety and reliability of the system.
