Inspection system and method for HVAC units
An inspection system for an HVAC device includes an HVAC duct section, a damper positioned with the duct section, an actuator for selectively moving the damper to a closed position, and a verification camera for recording the position of the damper with a date stamp and a time stamp. The actuator is further configured to move the damper to its open position, and the verification camera is further configured to record the open position of the damper with a second date and time stamp.
Heat-actuated fire damper sealing apparatus
A heat activated sealing apparatus for closing and locking a plurality of ventilation damper blades of a ventilation framework includes a fire detection assembly for detecting a fire condition and an actuator. A damper closure assembly includes an axle in communication with the actuator of the fire detection assembly and operatively coupled to the plurality of dampers of the ventilation framework, the axle being selectively rotatable between a start configuration at which the plurality of ventilation dampers are at the open configuration and a deployed configuration at which the plurality of ventilation dampers are at the closed configuration. The damper closure assembly includes a locking assembly movable between an unlocked configuration allowing rotatable movement of the axle and a locked configuration not allowing rotatable movement of the axle. The locking assembly is movable to the locked configuration only when exposed to a predetermined amount of heat from the fire condition.

Thermal sensor reset rod for thermal sensor
A resetting element for transmitting resetting force to a thermal switch. The resetting element includes a first end and an elastic element configured to transmit a force received at the first end to the reset switch of the thermal switch, wherein the elastic element is prevents damage to the thermal switch by decreasing the force transmitted to the reset switch from the first end.
Ventilation fan
A ventilation fan according to the invention comprises a fan module, a fire damper module and a cover module. The fire damper module comprises a link frame, a fire damper body and an adjustment element. The fire damper body is disposed in the link frame and detachably linked up with the link frame. The adjustment element is disposed on the fire damper body and near an opening of a flange of the fire damper body. The adjustment element comprises a fixed portion, a stop portion and a trace portion. Wherein the stop portion abuts and shields the opening when no electrical wire passing through the opening. Wherein when the cover module comprises an electronic device having an electrical wire, the trace portion abuts the opening and the electrical wire passing through the trace portion and the opening to connect to the fan module.

TEST CELL FOR AN AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE
A test cell for an aircraft turbojet, wherein the test cell comprises a U-shaped configuration, with a passageway in the form of an elongated corridor, an inlet chimney, and an outlet chimney. The corridor includes a securing area with a securing arm for holding the turbojet during its test. The passageway furthermore reveals an upstream shutter and a downstream shutter, the two shutters including one pivoting flap or a series of pivoting flaps. In the event of a fire, the shutters close due to autonomous return means. Gravity allows the flap(s) to come down to the closed position and to confine the turbojet in order to rapidly stifle the fire.

AN IMPROVED FIRE COLLAR
This invention relates to a fire collar (10) that includes a housing (11) having a bore that includes a first opening (13) and a second opening (18), said second opening being spaced from said first opening by at least one side wall (12), and wherein the fire collar further includes mounting means (14) for mounting said housing to a supporting structure, said mounting means being located adjacent said first opening. The fire collar also includes a layer of intumescent material (46) contained within the bore, adjacent the first opening, and supported in said bore adjacent the side wall. The fire collar also includes one or more torsion springs (48) which are operatively connected to the housing and wherein each spring includes a first leg (50) and a second leg (51). The second leg (51) is capable of movement between a first or non-operating position proximal to the layer of intumescent material and a second or operational position whereby said layer of intumescent material that is in contact with said second leg, either directly or indirectly, at least partially
Adjustable cam assembly for damper position feedback
A cam assembly for selectively contacting an end-of-stroke damper position switch. The cam assembly includes a first cam that is rotatable about a first axis, and a position lever that is connected to and rotates with the cam assembly. The position lever is configured to be connected to an opening and closing mechanism of the damper and the cam assembly is adjustable to contact a first end-of-stroke damper position switch at the end-of-stroke of the opening and closing mechanism of the damper regardless of the position of the lever.
