Smoke Damper
A smoke damper is a device used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to control the movement of smoke during a fire. It is typically installed in ductwork and automatically closes when smoke is detected, preventing it from spreading to other areas of a building. This helps to protect occupants and allows for safer evacuation.
Smoke dampers are often integrated with fire alarm systems to ensure they respond quickly in emergencies. They are an essential component of fire safety measures in commercial and residential buildings, contributing to overall fire protection and compliance with safety regulations.
