TROX: New CE-marked smoke control damper ensures safety Maximum performance – leading in Europe

describes the impressive special features: The EK-EU smoke control damper is made of calcium silicate and ensures fire integrity for more than 90 minutes. It has been tested with pressure level 3, which is the highest (-1500 Pa to + 500 Pa), for different application situations, horizontally and vertically installed, and with the actuator on the exposed and non-exposed side. It can also be installed in smaller ducts or for higher volume flow rates. The EK-EU can be released manually or automatically. It is controlled by the TROX control module AS-EM or AS-EM/SIL. In the event of a fire, the EK-EU can still fully open or close after 25 minutes. Brass bearings and a stainless steel shaft make the EK-EU a robust, durable unit. The EK-EU withstands the required maximum 20,000 open/close cycles with a weight attached to the damper blade, as stated in the test certificate.

 

The test requirements according to the European test standard EN 1366-10 are more stringent than in the past. The EK-EU has successfully passed cycle tests, leakage tests and fire tests; in can be used with cover grilles, and with AS-EM and AS-EM/SIL control modules, is suitable for pressure level 3, Cmod, can be installed into walls and ceilings, and in and on ducts, horizontally and vertically, and in smoke extract ducts with only 35 mm wall thickness. The declaration of performance is a testimony to the EK-EU's safety everywhere in Europe.
