A ventilation duct for a fire rated ventilation duct wall penetration has one or more metal sheets forming said duct, wherein said metal sheet duct is covered on the outside by a heat insulating material, and said duct includes elongated stiffening members located on the outside of the duct and attached to said metal sheets. The stiffening members each comprises a metal profile and at least one non-combustible bar of inorganic material. The metal profile is fixed to the metal sheet of the duct and retains the non-combustible bar by at least partly encircling the bar.

According to the present invention, there is provided a damper for ducting comprising at least one fin comprising an intumescent composition.

A ventilation fan according to the invention comprises a fan module, a fire damper module and a cover module. The fan module comprises a housing having an air intake and an air outtake. The fire damper module is disposed in the air intake and comprises a fire damper body and an adjustment element. The fire damper body has a flange extending inwardly on the inner surface thereof and the flange has an opening. The adjustment element is disposed near the opening and on one closer side of the flange to the fan module. The cover module is disposed on the fire damper module.

A fire-rated exhaust duct system comprising a modular configuration or structure. The fire-rated exhaust duct system comprises a plurality of exhaust duct sections. Each of the exhaust duct sections is configured to be joined or connected with other exhaust duct sections in the field or at an installation site, e.g. in building housing a kitchen facility or a laboratory facility to form longer sections or runs for exhaust duct system.

The fire resistant multi-guard louver vent incorporates a staggered angled baffles with an air gap in between them. The air gap is punctuated by a secondary mesh screen connecting the top angled baffle to the angled baffle below it. The primary mesh screen covers part of the frame facing closest to the secondary mesh screen. An intumescent material is applied either to the inside part of the frame, and/or the underside of the angled baffles.

An indoor unit of an air conditioner prevents spread of fire from an electrical component box. An indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is an indoor unit of an air conditioner, including an electrical component box that includes a main body portion and a lid portion and houses an electrical component. The electrical component box includes the lid portion and the main body portion into which the lid portion is fitted. A first fire spread prevention member formed of a first non-flammable material having flexibility is provided at a joint formed when the main body portion and the lid portion are combined or at a portion adjacent to the joint in the electrical component box.
