How Automatic Opening Vents Systems Work
Integrated with alarm or detector systems, AOVs activate in the event of a fire. Opening actuators, windows, or vents, they create ventilation to clear smoke and heat, aiding the safe and swift evacuation of occupants and minimising damage.
Benefits of AOV Systems
- Reduction of smoke and heat levels during a fire, enhancing safety for occupants
- Improved visibility, allowing clearer evacuation routes
- Mitigation of "flashover," reducing the spread of fire and heat throughout the building
- Minimisation of financial impact by exhausting smoke, resulting in lower building damage
