SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
The fire protection standards make it obligatory to apply temperature control and smoke extraction systems in accordance with standard UNE / EN-23585, calculation and design requirements and methods for planning a temperature control and smoke extraction system in the event of fire. To provide a solution to the needs established by this standard, approved roof-mounted fans exist for this purpose, pursuant to standard EN-12101-3 with an F-300 (300ºC/2h) certificate.
COMFORT AND NOISE REDUCTION
A working environment with the appropriate conditions of comfort is absolutely necessary to ensure an efficient job performance. The installation of outdoor fans brings greater comfort to work zones, reducing noise and the occupation of space in industrial buildings.
REDUCTION IN HEAT AND MOISTURE
The hot air generated by indoor activity and heating of the roof due to solar radiation transform the ceilings of industrial buildings into huge radiators that give off heat, which is transferred to work areas, increasing the temperature and the electricity bill due to a greater need for cooling. Furthermore, in colder climates, condensation increases the moisture level, saturating the insulation material of roofs and reducing their efficiency. A good ventilation system helps prevent all these effects which are harmful to the building structure and to people's health.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is very important for roof-mounted fans to be easy to clean, as they are very difficult to access. The maintenance of all the extract system elements is essential and very important to achieve a high standard of cleaning and obtain the required grade of hygiene in each installation, thus preventing the possibility of handling contaminated air particles. Ease in the maintenance and installation of roof equipment leads to important cost savings, which is a factor to be considered.
