Future-proof chilled-water solutions are now available for large projects from Flakt
We are proud to launch two new series of air-cooled chillers from our FGAC product line. With significantly high SEER values of up to 5.3 (ηs,c 208%), the requirements of the ErP-2021 of ηs, c ≥ 179% are far exceeded. By using alternative low GWP refrigerants, the units are in line with the F-Gas Regulation.
The FGAC 2220-3722 AE2 series with outputs from 477 to 1700 kW and the refrigerant R-513A are characterized by the high volumetric performance of the refrigerant and the associated ideal cost-per-kW ratio. It is ideal for projects where alternative refrigerants with reduced global warming potential (GWP) are to be used. With a value of 631, the GWP is reduced by 56% compared to the traditional refrigerant for screw compressor R134a. Due to the safety class A1 (non-flammable / no flame propagation) of the refrigerant, the devices can be used equally.
The device series FGAC 2220-3782 AF2 with outputs of 383 to 1460 kW and the refrigerant R-1234ze sets the highest environmental standards; this is thanks to the very low GWP value of only 7. With these solutions, the standards of the future are already being achieved today. In various building certifications extra points can be gathered.
Both units are equipped with quality components such as two or three screw compressors each with integrated inverter, electronic expansion valves, micro-channel condensers, and optimized dry expansion shell and tube heat exchangers. For special acoustic requirements, the devices are available in a particularly quiet design. Various optional extras and accessories are available, such as built-in pumps or BMS interfaces to complete the package.
These news Chillers can be utilised as part of the solution for providing efficient, environmentally friendly and high comfort air conditioning for commercial buildings such as hospitals, universities, hotels, office buildings and many others.
FläktGroup - Smoke Dampers: The Dangers of Non-Compliance
FläktGroup - Smoke Dampers: The Dangers of Non-Compliance
Designed to protect escape routes and assist fire fighters with access, smoke extraction systems are an essential element of modern fire protection strategies. However, it has come to light that the mandatory standard for smoke dampers is increasingly being overlooked as specifiers instead opt for cheaper, uncertified products. Simon Plummer, national fire safety and fans product manager at FläktGroup, discusses this worrying trend.
Stopping smoke from leaking through heating and ventilation systems is key to saving lives, with deaths due to smoke inhalation far outnumbering those resulting from burns. It is no surprise, then, that in recent times smoke inhalation deaths have dropped with the development of improved smoke extraction technologies and control systems.
Fire and smoke dampers are a crucial element of this system. By working together with the other elements of your passive fire protection system, they restrict the spread of flame and smoke throughout a building in the event of a fire.
A smoke damper is typically installed in ducts and the opening of a smoke control system or air distribution system. They can be activated by a signal from a smoke detector within the damper and controlled from a remote fire control and command station.
The correct selection of smoke dampers, along with the right installation and knowledge of current standards, can save lives. The problem is that with the regulations around smoke control a complex mix of evolving legislation and guidance, it can be a challenge for specifiers and building managers to know if their systems are fully compliant or not.
In recent years, the European Union has introduced harmonised testing standards for smoke and heat control systems (EN 12101). Part 8, which specifically focused on smoke control dampers, requires the testing of products in fire situations. This is to ensure that they open and close correctly, in accordance with the set fire safety strategy.
It is important for the building industry to be aware that products that are not certified to the harmonised European standards pose a severe risk to the entire fire safety system. What’s more, it is alarming that there are many dampers in the market that don’t meet this regulatory requirement.
Any leakages, including from the dampers or the ducts, affect the performance of modern fire protection systems. That is why ducts, fittings, hangers and dampers all have to be fire tested so that they keep their stability and fittings remain tight and secure in an emergency.
Although some products say that they have been designed and tested to the latest standards, they may not be officially certified by an independent body. This, combined with a lack of enforcement from the relevant authorities, means that many people are not aware that the smoke dampers they are deploying are actually illegal.
We would urge the industry to only use smoke dampers that have been independently tested and CE marked to make sure they are fit for purpose. At FläktGroup, we ensure that our all smoke dampers are fire tested with the whole duct system to meet the latest standards, including EN 12101-8, and are CE marked. That way, building owners, managers and occupiers can have complete peace of mind that performance is assured in the event of a fire.
