A Fire Damper is a critical safety device installed in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork. It is designed to automatically close when a rise in temperature is detected, typically triggered by a fusible link or an actuator that activates when the surrounding air reaches a specific temperature (usually around 165°F to 212°F). Fire dampers are commonly installed in fire-rated walls, floors, and partitions to maintain compartmentalization, reducing the risk of fire spreading across different areas of a building. They are made from high-quality galvanized or stainless steel and undergo rigorous testing to comply with industry safety standards such as UL 555 (Underwriters Laboratories). Fire dampers are essential in commercial buildings, hospitals, industrial facilities, and residential complexes, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations and enhancing overall building safety. Regular inspection and maintenance of fire dampers are crucial to ensure their proper functionality in case of an emergency.
