Definitions

  • the present invention relates to smoke evacuation shutters having a frame and a door assembly mounted in the frame. Additionally, the present invention relates to a smoke and heat ventilation system using such smoke evacuation shutters.
  • Tactical ventilation can be described as performing specific venting and fire isolation actions in order to evacuate smoke and heat, to provide firefighters a clear view on the seat of fire, to pull fire away from trapped occupants, and to limit property damage.
  • the smoke evacuation shutter as described in for example FR2615225 is installed in connection to an exhaust air duct and is default in closed position. Only in case of fire in the room where the shutter is installed and where the evacuation of smoke and heat is desired, the shutter is opened either manually by the fireman or remotely via a control system.
  • Typical conventional smoke evacuation shutter do not comply satisfactorily with the above standard.
  • Said conventional smoke evacuation shutters usually comprise a frame holding a relatively thick heat resistant panel which is moveably between an open and closed position, and a locking mechanism for opening manually and/or remotely.
  • Thicker heat resistant panel have been studied in order to comply with the standard, leading to significantly higher material cost.
  • EP 0 595 729 discloses a fire shutter for ventilation shafts with a door assembly comprising two parallel spaced apart panels defining an interior space wherein pockets comprising water are provided. In case of fire the water will absorb energy for evaporating, thereby slowing down heat degeneration of the fire shutter during a brief period of time.
  • US 5 293 962 discloses an elevator door assembly comprising two parallel spaced apart panels that are mutually connected by distance holders, the door assembly being configured such as to allow an air flow in between the panels.
  • the smoke evacuation shutter of the present invention is more heat resistant i.e. withstanding heat for a longer time period or withstanding higher temperatures for an equal time compared to conventional shutters.
  • the smoke evacuation shutter of the present invention has less heat resistant material consumption as compared to conventional shutters.
  • the present invention meets the above objects by providing a smoke evacuation shutter comprising a frame and a door assembly mounted in the frame, wherein the door assembly comprises a channel formed by a plurality of panels.
  • the present invention is directed to a smoke evacuation shutter for a smoke evacuation system comprising an air exhaust duct that is in fluid communication with different floors of a building through side ducts, the smoke evacuation shutter configured to open in case of a fire at the concerning floor of the building, comprising a frame allowing to mount a door assembly in the concerning side duct or in a hole in a wall in fluid communication with said side duct and a door assembly mounted in the frame, wherein the door assembly comprises a first panel and a second heat resistant panel preferably parallel spaced apart from the first panel and connected thereto by distance holders, the door assembly being configured such as to allow an air flow through the channel formed in this way in between the panels.
  • the present invention is directed to a ventilation system using such smoke evacuation shutters.
  • a smoke evacuation system of a building comprises air inlet duct and an air exhaust duct that are in fluid connection with the different floors of that building through side ducts, wherein at least in the air exhaust duct means are provided for creating a forced air stream (creating an under pressure in said exhaust duct).
  • smoke evacuation shutters are provided that are closed in a normal position and that - in the event of a fire at a certain floor- open on that floor to evacuate smoke produced by the fire.
  • the smoke evacuation shutters on all other floors of the building are designed to remain closed to prevent smoke entering said floor.
  • the smoke evacuation shutter 1 comprises a frame 2 and a door assembly 3.
  • the frame 2 can be any known type of frame allowing to mount said door assembly in the concerning side duct or in a hole in a wall in fluid communication with said side duct, whereby the frame engages the wall parts defining the hole or the inner circumference of the duct in an air tight manner.
  • Such frames are well-known in the art and will not be described in more detail herein.
  • the frame 2 is rectangular and comprises four T-shaped profiles 4a-4d made of a fire resistant material, for example aluminum profiles shielded with a layer of fire resistant material such as calcium silicate.
  • a fire resistant material for example aluminum profiles shielded with a layer of fire resistant material such as calcium silicate.
  • one of said profiles 4a is provided with two pens 5 for a pivoting connection with the door assembly 3.
  • the door assembly comprises a plurality of preferably parallel spaced apart panels.
  • the door assembly comprises two panels 6 and 7 that are mutually connected by distance holders 8 to form a single door element.
  • At least one of said panels i.e. the exterior panel 6 that in a mounted and closed position of the smoke evacuation shutter faces the air exhaust duct is preferably manufactured of a heat resistant material.
  • the heat insulating material may, of course, be selected from foamed or non-foamed inorganic heat insulating materials such as glass wool, rock wool, calcium silicate, glass reinforced gypsum, magnesium based materials, perlite and vermiculite.
  • the interior panel 7 (the panel facing a room of the building in a mounted and closed position of the smoke evacuation shutter) has less stringent heat resistance requirements and can be made out of gypsum or another construction material such as MDF or wood.
  • this second panel too can be manufactured in for example calcium silicate or other heat resistant materials as exemplified above or synthetic resin materials exemplified by a polyurethane resin material (any one of a hard material, a semi-hard material and a soft material), a denaturated polyisocyanurate resin material exhibiting excellent heat insulating characteristics, a polyethylene resin material, a polystyrene resin material, a urea resin material, a phenol resin material and a polyvinyl chloride resin material.
  • the following heat insulating materials may be employed solely or in a properly combined manner: various rubber materials possessing elasticity such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber.
  • the door assembly further comprises two torsion spring loaded hinges that are designed to cooperate with the pens 5 in said frame 2 to pivotably mount the door assembly in the frame such that the door assembly preferably can pivot from a closed to a open position in a direction inwards the side shaft.
  • the hinges force the door assembly to an open position.
  • a (through) channel is defined that in a closed position of the shutter is in fluid connection with a room side of the building.
  • the fluid connection can be obtained by maintaining passages between the frame 2 and the interior panel 7 facing the room side such that the through channel can be defined between the panels 6 and 7 and further between the edges of interior panel 7 and the frame 2 of the shutter 1.
  • said passages are provided along two opposite edges of the interior panel 7, most preferably along the lower and upper edges of said interior panel 7 when in a mounted position, while the other (vertical) edges of interior panel 7 are sealed in view of the frame by for example sealing strips.
  • holes can be provided at distinct spots in the panel 7 such that the through channel is defined between the panels 6 and 7 and further by said holes in interior panel 7. Again it is preferred that said holes are provided adjacent to two opposite edges of the interior panel 7, preferably the upper and lower edges.
  • the exterior panel 6 preferably sealingly engages the frame 2 by means of sealing strips 9. Additionally strips of intumescent material can be provided between the exterior panel 6 and the frame, such that in case of a temperature rise due to the presence of hot smoke in the air exhaust duct, the intumescent material expands and ensures an airtight sealing between the exterior panel 6 and the frame 2.
  • the smoke evacuation shutter comprises means allowing to lock the shutter and to open the shutter automatically and/or manually, which are not part of the invention.
  • Said means comprising a lock that can be provided in the door assembly or on the frame.
  • said lock is fixed to the interior panel 7 in between the panels 6 and 7 and is accessible through a key hole 10 provided in the interior panel 7 of the shutter 1.
  • Locking mechanisms for smoke evacuation shutters typically have three operation requirements, namely (i) the lock must be operatable electronically (e.g. by an automated process); and (ii) the lock must be operatable manually. Another important requirement (iii) is that once the shutter has been opened it should be prevented from closing either by itself or by an unauthorized person to ensure correct functioning in case of danger (fire).
  • Applicant now elaborated a new type of lock that addresses the above requirements and that can be used in a smoke evacuation shutter as described above.
  • the locking mechanism which is not part of the invention, comprises a housing 11 that is preferably made of a heat resistant material such as aluminum or stainless steel defining a guide way 12 guiding a spring 13 actuated bolt 14.
  • the bolt 14 comprises a protrusion 15.
  • the locking mechanism further comprises a notch 16 that is rotatably mounted in the housing 11 for opening the locking mechanism.
  • the notch 16 is part of a cylinder 16a that can be actuated by a key and said notch further comprises a cam 17 cooperating with a spring 18 loaded lever 19 that at one end is provided with a counter plate 20.
  • the counter plate 20 cooperates with an electrically induced solenoid 21 fixed on the housing.
  • a further spring 22 is provided between the lever and the counter plate, essentially to force the counter plate 20 against the solenoid 21 when in a locked position.
  • the locking mechanism can be operated in two manners, in a first manual operation, the key is inserted in the cylinder 16a and can be turned in an unlocking direction P1 in which the notch forces the bolt to retreat into the housing. In this unlocked condition, the key can preferably be retreated from the cylinder by virtue of the design of the lock cover plate 23 and the bolt is forced in a locking position by spring 13.
  • the solenoid is deactivated such that the magnetic attraction between the solenoid 21 and the counter plate 20 is interrupted and the torsion spring 18 forces the lever 19 to rotate in direction P1.
  • the lever 19 will engage the cam 17 provided on the cylinder 16a.
  • the cylinder and its notch 16 will rotate thereby engaging the sidewall of protrusion 15 in the bolt that as such retreats into the housing (open position of the locking mechanism).
  • a clearance is provided between the lever 19 and cam 17 in a position wherein the counter plate 20 engages the solenoid 21, such that upon interruption of the magnetic attraction between both, the torsion spring 18 will allow the lever to achieve a high kinetic energy before engaging the cam 17 on the cylinder. As such a fail proof opening of the locking mechanism is guaranteed.
  • the key needs to be introduced into the cylinder and rotated in a direction P2, such that the cam 17 on the cylinder 16a forces the lever back to a position wherein the counter plate contacts the solenoid 21.
  • the contact is further improved by virtue of spring 22 acting on the counter plate 20.
  • the described locking mechanism can be applied for smoke evacuation shutters or fire dampers of all kinds, and can be integrated in either the frame or the door assembly.
  • This locking mechanism is particularly suited for use in a smoke evacuation shutter as described above wherein the lock mechanism is preferably mounted in between the exterior panel 6 and the interior panel 7, whereby the locking mechanism can be mounted on the interior panel or on a distance holder 8 close to the interior panel 5, whereby the key hole 10 in the interior panel gives access to the key hole in the cylinder 16a.
  • the key when introduced in the cylinder can be turned in a direction P2 beyond its insertion position, whereby the key is prevented from being removed from the key hole by the cover plate 23 such that in this position, the key provides a handle function for closing the door against the force of the torsion springs provided on the hinges of the door assembly. It is noted that when turning the key beyond the insertion position in a direction P2, the cam on the cylinder will engage the lever and push the counter plate 20 against the solenoid 21 against the force of spring 22. As such when releasing the key, it will be forced back to its insertion position for easily removing the key.
  • the shutter is closed and remains closed under normal conditions.
  • the smoke evacuation shutters at that specific floor are triggered to open thereby creating an air stream from the air inlet duct through said floor and the air exhaust duct to outside the building, whereby said air stream evacuates the smoke produced by the fire.
  • the closed smoke evacuation shutters should resist the high temperatures reached in the air exhaust duct and according to existing and upcoming standards; the temperature gradient over the shutter should be sufficiently large.
  • the required temperature gradient can be maintained and the upcoming standards can be met even when applying a rather thin fire resistant exterior panel 6.
  • the channel defined between the panels 6 and 7 of the smoke shutter will allow a continuous convection driven air flow from the lower part of the channel along the surface of the exterior panel 6 and out of the air channel (or better air duct) into the room of the building as the temperature at the interior surface of the exterior panel 6 rises. Due to the continuous air stream a cooling effect on the exterior panel 6 can be realized such that it can be designed thinner than in conventional smoke evacuation shutters while providing optimal security.
  • the channel defined between the panels 6 and 7 comprises holes 24 provided in the exterior panel 6.
  • the channel is actually defined by an inlet formed by maintaining passages between the edges of interior panel 7 and frame 2, by the space between panels 6 and 7 and by an outlet defined by said holes 24 in the exterior panel 6.
  • holes 24 will result in air being aspired into the channel due to the under pressure maintained in the air exhaust duct.
  • the dimensioning of holes 24 is function of a trade off between increased cooling of the exterior panel (hence increasing the temperature gradient over the smoke evacuation shutter) and decreasing the capacity of the means for maintaining an under pressure in the outlet ventilation duct necessary for optimal smoke evacuation from the floor where fire is raging.
  • Said holes in the exterior panel 6 are preferably sealed under normal (non-fire) conditions with a fusible material such as thermoplastic material that melt in case of a temperature rise in the air exhaust duct or by means of a controllable valve. Sealing of said holes in normal conditions is beneficial in order to prevent unwanted draught.
  • a fusible material such as thermoplastic material that melt in case of a temperature rise in the air exhaust duct or by means of a controllable valve. Sealing of said holes in normal conditions is beneficial in order to prevent unwanted draught.
  • the door assembly can be realized according several alternatives, such as a roll-down shutter; by two separate single panel doors being mounted parallel and at a distance of each other or by multiple wall saloon type doors, multi blade shutters or guillotine type shutters.
