2. Heat and smoke vent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_and_smoke_vent

   The majority of guidance available for design of heat and smoke building vents installed in buildings is restricted to nonsprinklered, single-story buildings. [4] This is partly a historical consequence of the installation of heat and smoke vents following the August 1953 General Motors, Livonia, MI major fire in a nonsprinklered manufacturing facility which effectively stopped the production ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   It is commonly sold as boxes containing 25' (7.5 m) of duct compressed into a 5' (1.5 m) length. It is available in diameters ranging from as small as 4" (10 cm) to as big as 18" (45 cm), but the most commonly used are even sizes ranging from 6" to 12" (15 to 30 cm).

4. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   Rooftop HVAC unit with view of fresh-air intake vent Ventilation duct with outlet diffuser vent. These are installed throughout a building to move air in or out of rooms. In the middle is a damper to open and close the vent to allow more or less air to enter the space. The control circuit in a household HVAC installation.

5. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

   An early method of ventilation was the use of a ventilating fire near an air vent which would forcibly cause the air in the building to circulate. English engineer John Theophilus Desaguliers provided an early example of this when he installed ventilating fires in the air tubes on the roof of the House of Commons .

6. Air handler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

   The heat pipe uses multiple sealed pipes mounted in a coil configuration with fins to increase heat transfer. Heat is absorbed on one side of the pipe, by evaporation of the refrigerant, and released at the other side, by condensation of the refrigerant. Condensed refrigerant flows by gravity to the first side of the pipe to repeat the process.

7. Ventilation (firefighting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(firefighting)

   Mechanical fans can be used to provide positive pressure ventilation by breaking or removing windows, skylights or heat/smoke vents on the roof; or by cutting new exhaust vents in the building. If there is no suitable existing hole, firefighters may use their equipment to make one, such as specialized saws for cutting a large hole in the roof.

8. Smoke damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_damper

   Smoke damper may be used to prevent the spread of smoke from the space of fire origin to other spaces in the same building. A combination of fans and dampers can exhaust smoke from an area while pressurizing the smoke-free areas around the affected area (inhibiting smoke infiltration into additional areas).

9. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   A floor register. A register is a grille with moving parts, capable of being opened and closed and the air flow directed, which is part of a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
