Smoke-tight fire dampers

Safety is the most important factor in extreme working conditions, where a fire could put people's life at risk unless necessary precautions are taken. Therefore it is essential that the equipment chosen to prevent fire progression within a ventilation ductwork is top-class.

Smoke and other toxic gases can be more dangerous than the fire itself, so it is important that the fire dampers also prevent smoke from spreading. Halton is a leading manufacturer of smoke-tight fire dampers.

Halton offers:

• H0 (H120)-class fire dampers
• A0 (A60)-class fire and gas dampers
• Non-return dampers and pressure-relief dampers
• Shut-off, balancing and gas dampers
• Blast dampers

Features of Halton's smoke-free fire dampers include:

• Pneumatic, electrical, spring-actuated or mechanical operation systems
• A wide range of explosion-proof accessories and special steels combined with structural flexibility
• ATEX-approved dampers
• Products manufactured according to the ISO 15138 standard
• Excellent quality recognized by the leading oil companies and the major classification societies worldwide

Cabin ventilation systems

The Halton Marine cabin ventilation system is a total air-conditioning package specifically designed for different types of cabins and spaces. The package includes a CAV/VAV unit with plug-and-play controllers plus supply and exhaust products. Controllers consist of an input-output unit, an intelligent room-thermostat and an interconnection cable.

The CAV/VAV unit can operate as a stand-alone unit or in a series. A LON or Ethernet network ensures that cabin units can be controlled, monitored and adjusted using simple PC software.

• Single and double-duct cabin units (B15)
• Airflow units for large volumes with heating
• Low sound levels and pressure drop
• Cost-efficient commissioning due to plug-and-play technology
• Pressure-independent operation system
• Programmable CAV/VAV unit controllers

Halton's intelligent and energy-efficient cabin ventilation systems can reduce cabin-ventilation energy demands by up to 35%.

Safety features of this equipment include:

• Low surface-temperature heating coils
• Tailored safety functions for airflow handling
• Double-safety (SW and HW) to avoid overheating
• Possibility to connect additional sensors in cabin units, e.g. pressure and fire detection sensors
• Network solution opens numerous possibilities to include additional safety features in cabin units according to customers' needs, which can be operated, adjusted and controlled by human machine interface (HMI)
• Pressure-level handling in over-pressure areas
• Heating control for explosion-proof areas
