Pressure drop and sound data

Sound power level Lw, in in each octave band is

computed bu adding the corresponding correction
factor, Kok, to the sound pressure level in the
selection chart according to the following equation.

Lw = LpA + Kok

The corresponding factor Kok is the average of the

FDR operating area.

Function
The FDR is a fire damper of class EIS 30 to EIS 120
for circular or rectangular ducts, which prevents fire
and smoke from spreading in ventilation ducts. The fire
damper is equipped with either a motorised actuator
or manual actuation arrangement. Both actuators
have a visual position indicator. If the power in the
motorised actuator system is switched off, the blade
closes automatically.
Europe and Russia models:
In both actuator options, a fuse reacts to a rise in
temperature, causing a spring-return blade to close.
The motorised fire damper is delivered complete with
a spring-return actuator and a fuse that is activated at
72 ºC.
Sweden model:
The electrical motor option is without thermal fuse
and shall be connected to an automatic alarm system.
The fire damper is made of fireproof materials. Once
the fire damper has closed, the double sealing closes
the duct tightly, effectively preventing the spreading
of flue gases in the ventilation ductwork. The flexible
seal of the double sealing system operates at lower
temperatures, while the graphite mass seal expands
to insulate the system at temperatures above 150 ºC.
The FDR fire damper can be connected to the MSH
control and testing system for fire dampers. The
MSH unit enables the use of smoke detectors in the
ductwork or rooms. The FDR fire damper can also
be connected to other common building automation
systems.

Suggested specifications

A fire damper of class EIS 30 to EIS 120 shall have
a double sealing solution that ensures fire-gas
resistance at all temperatures when the fire damper is
closed.
In motorised models, the fuse shall be activated at 72
°C (E and R models).
In the manually operated system, the fuse activation
temperature corresponds to the specifications (50, 65,
72, 100 °C).
The fuse shall be located inside the damper, and it
shall be possible to replace it from the outside.
The fire damper shall have means for external opening
/ triggering of the release and closing. The fire damper
shall include a position indicator.
The fire damper shall be suitable for vertical and
horizontal installation on concrete and masonry walls
and on ceilings or lightweight plasterboard walls
between fire compartments (EIS 30 to EIS 120).
The technical properties of the type-approved fire
damper shall conform to the EN 1366-2 and EN
13501-3 standards.
The internal quality control of the fire damper
manufacturer shall be based on the ISO 9001
quality system system, and the operations of the
manufacturer shall be subject to external third-party
quality control.
