A fire and smoke actuator includes a temperature sensor for sensing an operating temperature of the fire and smoke actuator, a drive motor, an actuator output for coupling to the damper in order to move the damper between the open position and the closed position and a drivetrain that is operably coupled between the drive motor and the actuator output. The drive motor, when activated, is configured to actuate the actuator output, via the drivetrain, to move the damper between the open position and the closed position. A drive circuit is operably coupled to the drive motor and the temperature sensor and is configured to activate the drive motor to move the damper between the open position and the closed position at a non-zero speed that is based, at least in part, on the operating temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.

A safety cabinet includes an enclosure and at least one door to selectively seal the enclosure. The safety cabinet can be used to store, for example, flammable liquids, flammable waste, corrosives, pesticides, or combustible waste. The safety cabinet incorporates a thermally-actuated damper that includes a body, a valve plate, and a pivot assembly. The valve plate is disposed within the passage of the body such that the valve plate is movable between an open position and a closed position. The pivot assembly includes a biasing system adapted to bias the valve plate to the closed position and a fusible link interconnected between the body and the biasing system to constrain the valve plate from moving from the open position to the closed position. The fusible link is configured to melt at a predetermined temperature to thereby allow the biasing system to move the valve plate to the closed position.

The present invention relates to an integrated basement ventilation apparatus, and more particularly, to an integrated basement ventilation apparatus which can improve a basement ventilation apparatus and thereby perform an adiabatic cooling using latent heat when air is supplied, and in a case of outbreak of fire, forcibly close a damper closed or opened by itself as air is exhausted, and allow general automatic control depending on a local air condition in a basement structure and which can control an increase in temperature in the basement structure at a low cost and enhance a fire safety, and in particular, can suppress the fire early and significantly enhance the quality of air in the basement structure, thereby significantly enhancing condition and maintenance of whole facilities.

An explosion isolation device is disclosed. The explosion isolation device may comprise a conduit having a flap configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position within the conduit, and a holding mechanism configured to hold the flap in the open position. The holding mechanism may be configured to release the flap in the event of an explosion and the flap may be configured to rotate into the closed position after it is released. The device may include a sensor and an actuator configured to actuate the holding mechanism when an explosion is sensed. The conduit may be vertical.
