Alpha Industrial Series - Bushfire Code Compliant Downflow Discharge Axial Fans
Description
The Alpha & Beta Industrial Series of axial roof units with bushfire code compliance are designed for a wide range of free intake and ducted applications. These durable and robust units feature adjustable pitch impellers and comply with BAL-LOW to BAL-40 of the Australian Standard AS3959 Construction buildings in bush fire prone areas.
There are 6 sizes in each range extending from 500 to 1000mm diameter.
Typical Application
General supply air or exhaust air including a range of toxic, noxious and corrosive gases from a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
Smoke-spill Applications
The Beta Industrial RSSLB Series of smoke-spill fans has been fully tested to meet the air performance and high temperature test requirements of Standards AS/NZS1668.1:1998 and AS4429:1999.
Discharge damper fail-open latching
An additional requirement of AS/NZS1668.1:1998 with respect to
un-sprinklered buildings (300°C for 30mins) requires dampers to fail-open during smoke spill operation.
The fail-open discharge damper latches come in two forms; the first being a manual release type requiring manual closing after the fan has been run. The second design, an electro-mechanical type permits the shutter latch to release and close automatically after the fan stops.
For advice on smoke-spill wiring requirements refer to AS/NZS1668.1:1998.
