FIRE-X VERTICAL
FIRE & SMOKE VENTILATION > Fire-X Vertical
LOUVRE BLADED VERTICAL MOUNTED FIRE VENTILATOR
The Curvent Fire X Vertical fire ventilator is a louvre bladed vertical mounted fire ventilator with a low-profile design to enhance the architectural aesthetics of any building. The Fire X Vertical louvred blades are designed to close individually over each other, providing a waterproof system in the closed position. In the event of fire, the spring loaded louvred blades open automatically to allow hot gasses to exhaust. This will aid in the building’s structural integrity against collapse.
The smokeless layer of fresh air created at lower level creates safe evacuation passage for people and assists in firefighting disciplines. Natural day-to-day ventilation is made possible with the addition of electromechanical operating systems. The ventilator is renowned for its versatility. It provides for large ventilation areas, and can be custom-built to suit most steel structures, cladding profiles and specific design requirements

The Curvent Fire-X Vertical smoke ventilator is manufactured in standard heights. The width can be manufactured to any dimension ranging between 300mm to 2000mm wide. To standardise the measuring parameters, a 1000mm wide ventilator is used for the technical data compilation. Any alternate ventilator dimension must be calculated individually. To calculate the Aggregate Throat Area, 60mm is deducted from the overall height and 40mm from the overall width. To calculate the Free Measured Throat Area (Av) 15mm over the width of the ventilator must be multiplied with the number of blades and deducted from the aggregate throat area. To calculate the Aerodynamic Free Area (AvCv) the Free Measured Throat Area (Av) is multiplied by the Coefficient of Discharge (Cv).

Example:
A specification for 11.3m² Free measured area (Av) smoke ventilation required with 1450mm high by 1055mm wide clear girder or wall opening available, manufactured in Chromadek material, colour Fish Eagle White. electromechanically operated, with dust seals and burglar bars would be:
Calculation:
Ventilation required / Free Measured Throat Area (Av)
11.3m² / 1.13m² (Av of the FXV-10)
= 10 x Curvent Fire-X Vertical type FXV-10 Ventilators
