Introduction

Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems create a smoke free layer above the floor by
removing smoke and thus improve the conditions for the safe escape and/or rescue of people
and animals and the protection of property and permit the fire to be fought while still in its
early stages. They also exhaust hot gases released by a fire in the developing stage.

The use of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems to create smoke free areas beneath a
buoyant smoke layer has become widespread. Their value in assisting in the evacuation of
people from construction works, reducing fire damage and financial loss by preventing smoke
logging, facilitating fire fighting, reducing roof temperatures and retarding the lateral spread
of fire is firmly established. For these benefits to be obtained it is essential that smoke and
heat exhaust ventilators operate fully and reliably whenever called upon to do so during their
installed life. A heat and smoke exhaust ventilation system is a scheme of safety equipment
intended to perform a positive role in a fire emergency.

Components for smoke and heat exhaust systems should be installed as part of a properly
designed smoke and heat system.

Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems help to

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
— keep the escape and access routes free from smoke;
—
(standards.iteh.ai)
facilitate fire fighting operations by creating a smoke free layer;
— delay and/or prevent flashover SIST ENand12101-3:2002
thus full development of the fire;
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/7d9f1051-86a4-4a85-ad28-
— protect equipment and furnishings;
e51cc7b01139/sist-en-12101-3-2002
— reduce thermal effects on structural components during a fire;
— reduce damage caused by thermal decomposition products and hot gases.

Depending on the design of the system and the ventilator, powered or natural smoke and heat
ventilators can be used in a smoke and heat control system. Powered smoke and heat exhaust
ventilators can be installed in the roof or upper part of walls of building or in a ducted system
with the ventilator inside or outside the smoke reservoir or in a plant room.

Powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems should operate based on powered
ventilators. The performance of the powered smoke and heat exhaust system depends on

— the temperature of the smoke;

— size, number and location of the exhaust openings;
— the wind influence;

4
 EN 12101-3:2002 (E)

— size, geometry and location of the inlet air openings;

— the time of actuation;
— the location and conditions of the system (for example arrangements and
dimensions of the building).

Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems are used in buildings or construction works
where the particular (large) dimensions, shape or configuration make smoke control
necessary.

Typical examples are:

— single and multi-storey shopping malls;

— single and multi-storey industrial buildings and warehouses;
— atria and complex buildings;
— enclosed car parks;
— stairways;
— tunnels;
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
— theatres.

performance, powered or natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilation
systems may be used. e51cc7b01139/sist-en-12101-3-2002

It is specified in parts 4 and 5 of this European Standard that powered and natural exhaust
ventilators should not be used to extract smoke and hot gases from the same smoke reservoir.

Special conditions apply where gas extinguishing systems (e.g. according to prEN 12094 or
ISO 14520-1) are used (see parts 4 and 5).
