 Apreco
relieve the pressure
Following a detailed market analysis Apreco have
launched a new range of Pressure Relief Vents
specifically aimed at the Gas Fire Suppression Market.
With inert gases
and mixtures being supplied in high volumes to reduce
oxygen concentration to suppress a fire, there is
potential to cause structural damage if no means of
pressure venting is provided. Buildings are most
commonly designed to withstand internal pressures of
500Pa, though this can vary depending on the type of
construction.
Maximum room
pressure is controlled by the pressure relief vents
opening to vent excess gas to escape, then closing when
discharge is complete. This maintains the dilution of
the air, so preventing re-ignition. The FSV has been
designed to provide a market leading maximum free vent
area of 85% from 100Pa and above.
The FSV Range has been extensively tested at the
acclaimed Building Research Establishment (BRE), meeting
the performance criteria for a 2 hour fire resistance
test to EN1363-1. The range utilises quality materials
and manufacturing techniques for levels of consistently,
assured high quality. All FSV units are assembled
in-house by our trained technicians to ensure quality
control.
Attention to detail is the hallmark of any Apreco
product, the FSV range continues with this philosophy;
being designed to allow controlled thermal expansion in
the event of a fire.
Standard sizes are available for both internal and
external wall installation. The units can be purchased
as standalone units or in kit form.
