Smoke Dampers

Smoke dampers are specialized devices installed within HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, typically within ducts or vents, designed to automatically close in the event of a fire. Their primary function is to prevent the spread of smoke and harmful gases through ductwork, helping to contain fires and maintain safe evacuation routes. When smoke or high temperatures are detected, the damper responds by sealing off the duct, reducing smoke movement and protecting both occupants and property. They are crucial components of fire safety systems, ensuring emergency situations are managed effectively and compliance with safety codes is maintained.
