2. Pressurisation ductwork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurisation_ductwork

   The purpose of pressurisation ductwork is to maintain positive pressure in building spaces to prevent smoke from entering from other spaces in which a fire is occurring. It is typically used in exit stairways, corridors, and lobbies.

3. 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).

4. Dry running protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

   It is thus always recommended to install dry-running protection on all booster sets. There are three different methods for detection of water shortage: Pressure switch on suction manifold or float switch/electrode relay in the supply tank: Dry-running protection with pressure/level switch.

5. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

   An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...

6. 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 ...

7. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel).

8. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   An axial belt-drive exhaust fan serving an underground car park. This exhaust fan's operation is interlocked with the concentration of contaminants emitted by internal combustion engines. Mechanical ventilation of buildings and structures can be achieved by the use of the following techniques: Whole-house ventilation; Mixing ventilation

9. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

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

   The control circuit in a household HVAC installation. The wires connecting to the blue terminal block on the upper-right of the board lead to the thermostat. The fan enclosure is directly behind the board, and the filters can be seen at the top. The safety interlock switch is at the bottom left.
