Positive Pressure Fan

We also carry electric smoke ejectors blower exhausters confined space heater systems and more.

Positive pressure fan.

Positive pressure ventilation fans blowers are used to push fire and debris in the air toward an exhaust point. Because air heads from a high air pressure area toward a low pressure area the concept pulls pushes the fire and debris toward the exhaust point with it. The results of the experiments were compared with fire dynamic simulator fds output. Fans or filters blow air into the system creating a positive pressure.

Positive pressure is a pressure within a system that is greater than the environment that surrounds that system. By positive pressure i mean that the air pressure inside the house is higher than outside pressure which tends to push air from inside to outside. Positive pressure ventilation in your home what exactly is positive pressure ventilation and how does it fit into your home. Positive pressure fans provide a convenient portable source of air with the firestore s selection of positive pressure fans.

In this way any airborne particle that originates in the room will be filtered out. Available positive pressure ventilation ppv blower styles and models. Designed for high powered air movement the super vac positive pressure ventilators are for use in extreme conditions. Ppv fans come in many different sizes from 16 blades that fit in the tightest of apparatus compartments to large scale ppvs for the largest of jobs.

Positive pressure rooms maintain a higher pressure inside the treated area than that of the surrounding environment. Excess air escapes passively through designed outlets. Positive pressure ventilation uses positive airflow to remove heat and products of combustion from a structure on a fire scene. Full scale experiments were conducted to characterize a positive pressure ventilation ppv fan in terms of velocity.

First let s look at how a positive pressure mechanical ventilation system works.
