Types of smoke exhaust fans: selection of equipment for industrial use

Selecting the correct type of smoke exhaust fan is a critical task when designing a smoke control system. ABL Engineering Group produces and installs four main types of equipment:

  • Roof fans– installation on the roof
  • Duct fans— integration into air ducts
  • Axial fans— high performance at low pressure
  • Radial fans— significant pressure for complex systems

Each type is designed to solve specific problems depending on the configuration of the facility, the area of ​​the premises and the height of the building in accordance with the purpose of the protected space. All smoke extraction fans we produce are heat-resistant400°C for 2 hours or 600°C/1.5 hours— parameters that strictly meet the requirementsSN RK 2.02-01andTechnical regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan on fire safety. This ensures that the equipment operates under extreme fire conditions without failure or loss of efficiency.

Fan type Productivity Pressure Application
Roof High Average Industrial facilities, shopping centers
Duct Average Average Hidden gasket in air ducts
Axial Very high Low Systems with minimal resistance
Radial Average High Complex configurations, extended systems

Roof smoke extraction fans: installation on the roof

Roof installations are the most common option in industrial facilities and shopping centers. The fans are mounted directly on the roof, which simplifies the installation of air ducts and minimizes the required space inside the building. The choice of size and performance depends on the area of ​​the protected premises and the number of floors. Our specialists carry out calculations taking into account the height of the building and the architectural features of the facility. The system includes air intake grilles, power cable and connection adapters, providing the possibility of flexible integration into existing utility networks.

Duct fans: integration into air ducts

Duct fans are built directly into a rectangular or round air duct system. This type of equipment is ideal when hidden installation and integration into existing supply and exhaust engineering systems are required. The connection is made through galvanized structures using fire retardant treatment and installing safety valves. Duct models ensure uniform distribution of air flow throughout the entire smoke removal system. Components include connection adapters, vibration isolators and flange connections.

Axial and radial fans: differences and applications

Axial fans are characterized by high performance at relatively low pressure – designed for systems with minimal air duct resistance. Radial fans develop significant pressure, which is necessary for complex configurations of air ducts and extended smoke removal systems. The choice between these types depends on air parameters, required efficiency and operating conditions at a particular facility. Both types are equipped with smoke sensors and automatic control systems, ensuring reliable operation of the exhaust system in real time.

Air pressurization systems for staircases and elevator shafts

Pressure fans are specialized equipment designed to ensure the safe evacuation of people. The air pressure unit is installed in stairwells and elevator shafts, creating excess pressure and preventing the spread of smoke and combustion products. The system includes a fire-retarding valve, air intake grilles, control panels, smoke detectors and automatic performance monitoring. Setting up such systems requires highly qualified engineers – all work is performed by certified specialists from ABL Engineering Group, including Technical Department engineer Semenok Alexander Alexandrovich and his team.

Technical characteristics: temperature resistance, performance and reliability

All smoke extraction fans of ABL Engineering Group havecertified heat resistance 400°C for 2 hours or 600°C for 1.5 hours without failure or loss of performance. These parameters meet the requirementsSN RK 2.02-01andTechnical regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan on fire safetyand ensure reliable operation of equipment in case of fire at industrial facilities of any scale. The heat resistance mode of 400°c is selected depending on the fire hazard class of the object.

Thermal resistance of equipment in case of fire: 400°C and 600°C

Heat resistance is a critical characteristic of smoke removal systems. In the event of a fire, temperatures in air ducts and shafts can reach extreme values. ABL Engineering Group equipment has been tested for compliance with two modes:

Operating mode Temperature Time Application
Standard 400°C 2 hours Production workshops, warehouses, shopping centers
Extreme 600°C 1.5 hours Intense combustion, high temperatures of combustion products

The fans are made fromspecial grades of steel grades 12Cr18Ni10Ti and 12Cr17Ni13Mo2Ti, resistant to high temperatures, thermal expansion, gases and combustion products. These materials minimize structural deformation and maintain tightness at critical temperatures. Testing at 600°C for 1.5 hours confirms their stability under extreme conditions.

Calculation of fan performance in case of fire

Fan performance depends on many parameters of a particular object. When calculating, ABL Engineering Group engineers take into account:

  1. Area and height of premises— determine the volume of air to be removed in case of fire;
  2. Number and location of smoke sources— affect the performance and pressure required for effective smoke removal;
  3. Air parameters(temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality) – taken into account when choosing the operating mode of the equipment and the type of filtration;
  4. Complexity of air duct design— rectangular or circular cross-section, the presence of turns and contractions affect the resistance of the system;
  5. Installation conditions— installation on the roof, in shafts or technical floors requires different approaches to the selection of equipment (roof, duct, axial or radial fans).

ABL Engineering Group engineers carry out detailed performance calculations taking into account all conditions and requirements for system efficiency. Based on the calculation, the type of fan and its technical parameters are selected. Incorrect capacity calculation is one of the main risks leading to system ineffectiveness in case of fire and non-compliance with regulations.

Automation and control of the smoke removal system

Reliable operation of the equipment is ensured by a modern automation and control system. The system includes:

  • Control panels— a central unit that controls the operation of fans and monitors their status in real time;
  • Temperature and pressure sensors— monitor air parameters in air ducts and shafts, preventing overheating and loss of pressure at 600°c;
  • Startup automation— in the event of a fire, the system automatically turns on smoke removal fans and air supply in staircases and elevator shafts;
  • Performance monitoring— sensors monitor rotor rotation, absence of vibration and compliance of parameters with standards;
  • Operating mode control— the system automatically switches the equipment to 400°C/2h or 600°C/1.5h mode, depending on the combustion intensity.

All automation components (boards, sensors, cables, adapters) are selected taking into account the requirements of SN RK 2.02-01 and the Technical Regulations of the RK on fire safety. Certified engineers of ABL Engineering Group carry out commissioning and testing of the system on site, ensuring full readiness of the equipment for operation and guaranteed performance in case of fire.

We recommend concluding a service contract to ensure that the system is always ready for use when needed. Regular maintenance also extends the equipment warranty.

What risks exist when choosing the wrong smoke exhaust fan?

The wrong choice of equipment can lead to serious consequences:

  • Risk of non-compliance— the system will not comply with the requirements of SN RK 2.02-01 and the Technical Regulations of the RK on fire safety, which may lead to fines from supervisory authorities (Ministry of Emergency Situations of the RK, Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of the Ministry of Health of the RK). There are also administrative and criminal penalties.
  • Risk of equipment failure due to fire— an incorrectly selected fan may not withstand high temperatures (400°C or 600°C) and fail at a critical moment. This may make it impossible to evacuate people.
  • Risk of incorrect performance calculations— insufficient productivity will not ensure effective evacuation of people, which will complicate evacuation and can lead to tragedy.
  • Risk of missed installation deadlines— Design errors can lead to rework and delays. This increases the cost of the project and delays the delivery of the project.
  • Risk of high cost of rework— correcting errors after installation will cost much more than correct design from the very beginning. Remodeling can cost 30-50% of the original cost.

To avoid these risks, entrust the design and installation to the experienced specialists of ABL Engineering Group, who take into account all the features of your facility and regulatory requirements. Our experience (40+ specialized projects since 2009) guarantees the right choice.
