An intelligent air management system comprises an HVAC unit, a smart duct comprising an electromechanically actuated damper, a power supply connected to the smart duct, a controller communicatively connected to the smart duct and at least one room sensor positioned in a room, and a vent fluidly connected to the smart duct and positioned in the room, wherein the controller is configured to open and close the electromechanically actuated damper in response to measurements from the at least one room sensor. A method of controlling room temperature in a multi-room structure is also described.

A firestop device includes a collar to be mounted to a surface at wall penetration of a plastic pipe. The collar includes a first collar half and a second collar half, having corresponding end portions which are connected to each other. A fire resistant foldable cap is circumferentially connected to the collar for closing off the penetration location when the pipe is collapsed. In case of a fire an actuation assembly moves the fire resistant foldable cap over the penetration location to close it off. The collar is a fold-out collar in which said corresponding ends of the first and second collar halves are hingedly connected to each other to be moveable from a folded state, in which the second collar half substantially overlaps the first collar half, to a folded out state, in which the first collar half and the second collar half form a ring shaped collar.

A damper (e.g., a safety damper) includes a sensor configured to provide a damper blade position signal indicative of a position of one or more damper blades and a communication interface configured to provide a damper identification and a damper blade position information associated with the damper blade position signal at periodic intervals or in response to a change in position. The damper identification and damper position information can be provided to fire safety equipment, another damper, or a safety panel.

A back pressure flap valve arrangement is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a housing (101) having an inlet opening (102) and an outlet opening (103) adapted for connection of the housing (101) to a ducting (200), and at least one side wall (104) extending along a flow direction through the housing (101) from the inlet opening (102) to the outlet opening (103). A flap (1) is pivotably hinged about a shaft (5) thereby being movable between an open position and a closed position, said shaft (5) extending transverse the flow direction. At least one locking device (10) is fixedly mounted to the side wall (104) and comprises a locking pin (14) and a stopping member (12). The locking pin (14) is movable between a retracted position and a locking position, and being biased towards said locking position. The stopping member (12) is movable from a stop position in which the stopping member (12) is adapted to hold the locking pin (14) in its retracted position, to a release position by the flap (1) acting on the stopping member (12) in case of a back pressure. Thereby the locking pin (14) is allowed to move into the locking position in which the locking pin (14) maintains the flap (1) in the closed position.

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.

A fire or smoke barrier (1) having a head box (2) for housing a curtain (4) which is open at its underside to allow the curtain to be deployed and withdrawn. The head box (2) houses a roller (3) for the curtain (4) to be rolled from for deployment and rolled back onto for withdrawal and attached at the bottom of the curtain (4) is a bottom bar (7) for weighing down the curtain (4) when deployed. The head box (2) has one or more apertures (14, 15) for cleaning air circulation and being provided at the, or each, aperture (14,15) with a spring (22) loaded trap (16,17) normally held open by a fusible link (31), the link fusing (31) in event of fire.
