Fire Damper Controller

HVAC is an acronym that stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. This system is responsible for heating and cooling your home and includes products like furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps as well as ductwork, thermostats and other home comfort controls. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.

What is FDC?

Fire dampers are passive fire protection products used in HVAC ducts to prevent the spread of fire inside the ductwork through fire-resistance-rated walls and floors. Fire dampers are activated when a fire raises the temperature of a room above 160 degrees, automatically closing upon the detection of heat. Fire dampers close automatically to protect the spread of fire and can also have integrated smoke barriers as well. The activation system works by digital sensors activating an electric or pneumatic actuator or through a fusible link, which is temperature-sensitive.

Why FDC Required?

Fire damper controllers are essential components of fire safety systems in buildings. They ensure that fire dampers, which are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork in ventilation systems, operate correctly during a fire event.

Where FDC Installed?

Fire damper panels are typically used in commercial and institutional buildings as part of their fire safety systems. Here are some common locations and applications where fire damper panels are used:

HVAC Ductwork
Fire-Rated Walls and Partitions
Air Handling Units (AHUs)
Ductwork Intersections and Bends
Emergency Exit Routes
Integration with Fire Alarm Systems
