Mechanical AOV Systems
Mechanical smoke extract systems are often required where a natural ventilation system is not suitable.
One of the main benefits of a mechanical extract system is the possibility of estimating accurately its performance, as it will extract a certain volume of air in a consistent manner, and comply precisely with any given fire strategy.
In addition, mechanical smoke shafts can often be utilised not only as a life safety system, but also as a dual function to allow common areas to be ventilated in day-to-day use.
