The object of this invention is a ventilation duct unit (1), which comprises an inlet (2), an outlet (3), a flow channel (4), which extends from the inlet to the outlet, and which is delimited by a wall (5) between the inlet and the outlet, a closing part (6), which is arranged into the flow channel, and which in open position enables flow in the flow channel, and in closed position prevents flow in the flow channel, closing member (12), which as a response to detecting fire, sets the closing part (6) to a predetermined position, and an actuator (8), which moves the closing part (6) between open and closed state in order to achieve flow defined for the actuator (8) in the flow channel. In order to utilize the ventilation duct unit for controlling fire situations and sound dampening, the ventilation duct unit further comprises insulation material (14), part of which is fireproof, and which surrounds the wall (5) of the flow channel and isolates the surrounded part of the wall of the flow channel from its surroundings, and holes (18) arranged in the surrounded part of the wall of the flow channel (4), which dampen sound by leading the medium flowing in the flow channel to be in contact with insulation material (14).

A firestat for providing an output for controlling an opening and closing of a fire/smoke damper. The firestat includes a fire/smoke damper test switch and an actuator configured to depress the fire/smoke damper test switch. The firestat is further configured to release the fire/smoke damper test switch in response to a depressing force applied to the actuator, wherein melting or other damage to the actuator causes a release of the test switch.

There is described a system and method for configuring, commissioning and troubleshooting an HVAC unit. A unit type configuration is established based on a type of HVAC system and temperature data, humidity data, and/or indoor air quality data. A fan configuration is established based on whether a variable frequency drive fan is identified. Cooling and heating stage configurations are established based on a compressor parameter and a heating stage parameter. An available auxiliary termination is identified in response to establishing the configurations. A safety is assigned to the available auxiliary termination in response to identifying the available auxiliary termination. An IO table is provided to an HVAC controller, which includes physical input/output assignments for the terminations of the HVAC controller based on the configurations and the assigned safety. For another embodiment, the fan configuration is established based on one of a traditional stage blower fan or variable frequency drive fan.

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.

A combined HVAC and fire suppression system includes a HVAC apparatus and a fluid outlet for release of heat exchange fluid into a discharge plenum of the HVAC system. The heat exchange fluid is a clean agent, such that release of the heat exchange fluid into the discharge plenum provides a fire suppressant effect for a conditioned space. The HVAC apparatus includes a network of piping holding a heat exchange fluid and arranged for chilling the heat exchange fluid via a chiller connected to the piping; a fan coil unit connected to the network of piping, the fan coil unit includes a coil for passage of the heat exchange fluid chilled by the chiller, a fan for movement of air over the coil in order to transfer heat from the air to the heat exchange fluid in the coil, and the discharge plenum.

The object of this invention is a ventilation duct unit (1), which comprises an inlet (2), an outlet (3), a flow channel (4), which extends from the inlet to the outlet, and which is delimited by a wall (5) between the inlet and the outlet, a closing part (6), which is arranged into the flow channel, and which in open position enables flow in the flow channel (4), and in closed position prevents flow in the flow channel, and a closing member (12), which as a response to detecting fire, sets the closing part (6) to a predetermined position. In order to test the functioning of the closing part of the ventilation duct unit simply, easily and quickly in case of fire, the ventilation duct unit comprises a position switch (20) of the closing part (6), which is in first state, when the closing part (6) is in said predetermined position, and which is in second state, when the closing part (6) is not in said predetermined position, and a fire testing unit (21), which at predetermined times triggers testing of the fire safety functions, wherein the closing member (12) sets the closing part (6) to said predetermined position, and which after triggering testing of the fire safety functions indicates that testing of the fire safety function was successful, if it detects that the position switch (20) of the closing part (6) is in first state.

A wind turbine comprising a tower, a pod, at least one smoke detector in the region of the tower and/or in the region of the pod, at least one fan arranged in the tower and/or in the pod, and a control unit which detects a fire situation or smoke development in the wind turbine by means of the smoke detectors and activates the fans disposed in the tower and/or in the pod in order to suck away the smoke produced.
