FIRE DAMPERS PL-12, PL-13 AND PL-14

FIRE DAMPERS PL-12, PL-13 and PL-14

PL-12

Application
Fire dampers prevent fire from spreading in air conditioning and ventilation
installations. They are installed at crossings of ventilating ducts through
partition walls and ceilings which divide a building into fire compartments.
Description
Fire dampers consist of housing made of galvanized sheet metal, damper blade
made of special insulation material, thermal release mechanism with melting
point at 70C or 120C, manual lever for moving the damper blade into
opened or closed position, springs, bearings and other parts.
Fire resistance and classification

PL-13
PL-13

Fire dampers have the fire resistance of K60 or K90.

They have been attested according to the following standards:
NORM B 3800 , part 1
NORM B 3800 , part 2
NORM M 7625
Types
PL-12: rectangular fire dampers
PL-13: circular fire dampers - with flange
PL-14: circular fire dampers - for spiral ducts
Types according to the release mechanism type:
basic type with fusible link release (designation A, A2 or A7)
with electric actuator (designations E5 to E19)
Note: check ordering key for specific type, not all combinations are applicable.
Nominal sizes of rectangular dampers PL-12

PL-14
PL-14

BxH= from 200 x 150 mm to 1500 x 800 mm (table at page 350)

When ordering, it is necessary beside dimensions BxH, to indicate also the
length L.
Upon request, it is possible to produce fire dampers PL-12 of special
dimensions within the following range:
B = from 150 to 1500 mm, H = from 150 to 800 mm, L = from 160 to 700 mm
Standard length for PL-12:
Standard length for PL-12 is 325mm.
Nominal sizes of dampers PL-13, PL-14

Standard lengths (L) for circular fire dampers PL-13, PL-14:

PL-13 from 315 to 800, L = 400
(when ordering, it is not necessary to specify the length)
PL-14 from 100 to 500, L = 300
(when ordering, it is not necessary to specify the length)
Special dimensions:
Upon request, it is possible to produce fire dampers PL-13 and PL-14 of
custom dimensions within the range of standard dimensions.

FIRE DAMPERS WITH ELECTRIC ACTUATOR PL-12, PL-13 AND PL-14

Fire dampers with electric actuators:

10. Electric actuator
11. Junction box
Besides triggering by thermal fuse,
damper may be additionally triggered by a signal
from a smoke detector or control panel switch.
When the damper is opened, electric actuator is
under electrical power all the time, when power is
cut off, the built in spring automatically closes the
damper. Under normal circumstances i.e. when
there is no fire and thermal fuse has not been
triggered, the damper returns to the open position
automatically when the power returns. Both limit
switches to indicate the positions CLOSED
and OPEN are incorporated in the electric
actuator and need not to be ordered separately.

The range of applicability for BLF actuators (designations: E15, E16, E19)
In case of circular fire dampers, the range of
applicability of BLF actuators is from 100 to 500.
