Backdraft Damper

Backdraft Damper

Description        :

Due to space constraint, backdraft dampers are frequently installed closed to fan discharge in ventilation duct system causing rattling noise and damage to the blade, blade linkage and its bearings.  Our engineers at OLS have produced a completely new version of the backdraft damper that is fail-proof and does not cause rattling noise under turbulence flow.

The OLS BD3000 backdraft damper is a twin blade design that pivot on ball-bearing or bronze bushes and does not response to air turbulence like most backdraft dampers.  Opening of the damper blade take place with very low pressure and air velocity, 10 Pa and 4 m/s respectively.   And air leakage rate in closed position is less than 0.05 m3/s/m2 at 1000 Pa pressure differential not achievable with normal backdraft damper.  This damper can be constructed to handle high velocity and pressure ventilation system.

Features

  • Low pressure required to open damper
  • Low pressure loss
  • No rattling noise due to air turbulence.
  • Low air leakage across closed damper
  • Ideal for installation in close proximity to fan
  • Trouble-free operation

Fire Dampers

Fire Dampers

Description        :

OLS Fire dampers are passive fire protection products used in ventilation and air conditioning (ACMV) ducts to prevent the spread of fire through fire-rated walls and floors.

OLS curtain blade fire dampers were subjected to rigorous independent laboratory testing to relevant Australian Standards, British Standard BS476 Part 20, and Part 22, and Singapore Standards SS333. The fire dampers were tested to 4-hour fire resistance in single and multiple-module construction on the wall, floor, and drywall.

Our fire dampers are constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel and with the option of construction in stainless steel material. Each model of fire damper may be fabricated in 3 variations:

Type A: Curtain blade within the air stream. For use with low-velocity airflow,

Type B: Curtain blade out of airstream for use with low to medium velocity airflow,

Type C: Curtain blade and damper frame entirely out of air stream. This damper offers 100 percent free area to airflow, minimizes pressure drop, and is ideal for medium to the high-velocity system.

Features

  • Robust construction with heavy gauge hot-dip galvanized steel plate.
  • Continuous seam weld at all damper sleeve joint ensures product rigidity and closing reliability.
  • High-quality weld with automatic seam welding prevents rusting.
  • One mm thick roll-formed blades enable the damper to withstand higher pressure, lower its leakage rate, and improve its closing reliability.
  • Rigorous fire tests with single and multiple module dampers give a clear indication of small and large dampers' performance.
  • A large damper module size offers a higher airflow free area resulting in a lower pressure loss.
  • A large damper module size minimizes air leakage across the blade when closed.
  • 4-hours fire rating provides a higher degree of safety to fire resistance.
  • Easy installation with sleeve and appropriately sized retaining angles provided.
  • The damper is modular in construction, and for large size, it is easily assembled on site.
  • Damper is modular in construction, and for large size, it is easily assembled on site.
  • The damper is subject to a product certification scheme by a recognized certification body.

With the above features built into the damper and good manufacturing practice, we assure you of a high-quality product, performance, and reliability to keep your property and building occupant safe. Such features enhance the value of a building and keep the fire insurance premium down. For these reasons, the building owner should never compromise on the quality of the fire damper.

    Jet Fan

    Jet Fan

    Description        :

    Among all different tunnel ventilation systems, the longitudinal ventilation with jet fans is the most extended one, due to its flexibility and lower cost compared with transverse and semi-transverse ventilation systems using axial fans.

    Jet fans can be uni-directional type (our “JZ” series) or fully reversible type (our “JZR” series). The uni-directional jet fans, with asymmetrical blades, are designed to optimise their performance in one direction (forward), while the fully reversible jet fans, with symmetrical blades, are able to achieve the same performance in both directions (forward and reverse).

    The jet fans are installed inside the tunnel, either hanging them from the ceiling by means of a suspensions system or placing them on top of small base frames fixed to the lateral walls of the tunnel. Normally suspension system or base frames are also included in ZITRÓN´s scope.

    Features

    • Tested and certifies to operate at high temperature conditions according to Standard EN 12102-3
    • Anti-corrosive treatments to protect the Fans against corrosion and enlarge their operative life.

    Axial Fan

    Axial Fan

    Description        :

    ZITRÓN has a wide experience in vertical fans, which has been supplied in the most recent tunnel projects world-wide.

    According to the design of the tunnel ventilation system, axial fans are commonly used exhausting polluted air and fumes in case of a tunnel fire, but also blowing fresh air inside the tunnel.

    Axial fans can be uni-directional type (our “ZVN” series) or fully reversible type (our “ZVR” series). The uni-directional fans are able to reach to 85 % efficiency, while the fully reversible fans can achieve up to 78 % efficiency. In case the uni-directional fans are requested to operate in reverse, their efficiency and performance will be lower than in the forward direction.

    Although one stage axial fans are the most commonly used in tunnel and metro ventilation systems, when the pressure requirements are high, two stage fans could be needed.

    Features

    • Tested and certifies to operate at high temperature conditions according to Standard EN 12102-3
    • Fans can be manufactured either with for horizontal or vertical configurations
    • Variable pitch blades able to either be hydraulically or electro-mechanically adjusted during operations
    • able to use in combination with motors suitable for operation over inverter or with motors with one or more speed.
