The following conventions are used to identify special names or text. • Italic type indicates titles of publications, such as the Smoke Management Application Guide. •...
Chapter 1 How Smoke Control Systems Work Purpose The information in this guide serves to define the intended function of Smoke Control System Equipment and also explain what operational and performance requirements are necessary for equipment listed under the UL listing category of UUKL. IMPORTANT: Smoke control systems must be designed to meet the custom needs of a particular building and its occupants.
Introduction Design Parameters A smoke control system can be designed to provide an escape route and/or safe zone. However, all smoke control systems have the following design parameters: • Air-flow paths through a building and leakage areas. • Pressure differences across smoke control system boundaries. •...
Controlling Smoke Movement Basic Concept Regardless of the method, the basic concept behind controlling smoke is to use differences in air pressure to minimize the spread of smoke and, if possible, vent it from the building. You cannot confine smoke by simply closing all access ways (such as doors and vents) to the room that has the fire in it.
Page 16
Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued Basic Concept Since smoke is carried by the movement of air, you can stop the spread of smoke throughout the building by lowering the air pressure in the area containing the fire and by raising the air pressure in the surrounding areas and floors.
Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued Basic Concept 3. Turn OFF the air inlets and air returns of the areas that are neither being pressurized nor depressurized (i.e., areas far away from the fire). Turning OFF the air return prevents the smoke that is being vented into the return air system from coming into the smoke-free area. In cases where there are large openings (such as an open doorway) between the area on fire and an adjacent area, smoke can be confined by a large volume of air.
Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued Causes of The following forces affect smoke movement: Smoke Movement Stack Effect: When the outside air temperature is colder than the temperature inside a building, there is often an upward movement of air within the building. This air movement is most noticeable in stairwells, elevator shafts, electrical risers, or mail chutes, and is referred to as “Normal Stack Effect.”...
Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued Causes of HVAC System: Smoke Movement Before the development of smoke control systems, HVAC systems were shut down when a fire occurred. This is because an HVAC system frequently transported smoke during building fires. In the early stages of a fire, HVAC smoke transport can be a good thing. When a fire starts, the HVAC system can transport the smoke to a location where people can smell it and be alerted to the fire (although they may not know where the smoke is coming from).
Principles of Smoke Control Systems System Types Two types of smoke-control systems exist – Dedicated and Non-dedicated. • Dedicated Smoke Control System: Is installed in a building for the sole purpose of controlling smoke. • Non-dedicated Smoke Control System: Uses parts of the building HVAC system to control smoke.
Smoke Control and Fire Control System Differences Separate System The smoke control system is usually separate from the fire control system, since they have for Separate Goals different goals. The goal of the fire control system is to contain and extinguish the fire as fast as possible.
Designing a Smoke Control System Basic Goal The basic goal of the smoke control system is to maintain a tenable environment. A tenable environment allows: • The building occupants to evacuate safely from the building. • The firefighters to get quickly to the fire zone. How to Begin The first step to take in designing a smoke control system is to lay out the smoke control zones, as previously explained.
Designing a Smoke Control System, Continued Determining the Since air pressure is what keeps smoke from spreading, the primary design factors are the amount Smoke Containment of pressure needed to confine the smoke, and the size of the system used to create this pressure. Pressure For the smoke control system to create a barrier of air pressure between the smoke zone and surrounding zones, the amount of pressure required varies with the height of the ceiling and...
Designing a Smoke Control System, Continued Selecting the Proper Fans must be capable of reaching the required pressure setting within 60 seconds. Each fan must Fans and Duct Work also have a pressure monitor so that the smoke control system can receive feedback on the status of the fan to determine whether it is actually working.
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System Introduction Most of the systems discussed so far have been non-dedicated systems. Even in a building where the primary smoke control system is non-dedicated, special zones or functions may exist that require a “dedicated” system. The most common example of a dedicated system is a dedicated smoke control system for a stairtower.
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued Designing the Ideal The ideal stairtower smoke control system must pressurize the stairway enough to keep the smoke Stairtower System out, but it must not pressurize it so much that the doors cannot be opened. An example of a dedicated smoke control system for a stairtower is shown in the figure below.
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued Ensuring Doors Table 1-2 assumes a door height of seven feet and a distance from the doorknob to the knob side Can Open of the door of three inches. If your door does not meet these requirements, or has opening hardware other than a doorknob, such as panic hardware, then refer to the ASHRAE publication Design of Smoke Control Systems for Buildings for a formula to calculate the proper opening force.
Page 28
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued Controlling Pressure The building shown in Figure 1-6, Stairtower A has no vent to the outside. Compensated systems in a Stairtower adjust the airflow to make up for pressure lost through open doors. A compensated system (Figure 1-6, Stairtower B) can use dampers (or vents) to relieve excess pressure in the stairtower to ensure that the pressure does not go over the maximum limit.
Page 29
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued Controlling Pressure The figure below shows a bypass pressure control system for stairtower pressurization with the in a Stairtower bypass-around supply fan located at ground level. Although a ground-level fan is shown, the fan can actually be placed at any level.
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued Elevator Smoke Most elevators do not have smoke protection, fire protection, or other features necessary for them Control to be considered as a means for fire evacuation. Elevator systems not specifically designed and built for fire evacuation should not be used in fire situations.
Detecting Smoke Introduction The fire detection system is the system that is connected to the smoke or heat detectors. Every smoke zone should have a Listed smoke or heat detector installed in it. The detectors should be located so that they can detect the presence of smoke or fire before it spreads beyond the zone. Once the fire control system detects the fire, it relays to the smoke control system the zone and the type of alarm that was triggered.
Detecting Smoke, Continued Firefighter Smoke The FSCS must not override such safety controls as: Control Station • Electrical overload protection. (FSCS) • Electrical disconnects as required by NFPA 70. • Other controls in accordance with UL 864. • Any fire/smoke damper thermal control as required by UL 33, Standard for Heat Responsive Links for Fire Protection Service or UL 555S, Standard for Leakage Rated Dampers for Use in Smoke Control Systems.

System Design Parameters Verifying System The means for verifying system integrity during a non-emergency condition varies depending on Integrity During whether the smoke control system is a “dedicated” or a “non-dedicated” system. Non-Emergency Conditions • Dedicated Smoke Control Components: Solely used for smoke control functions and are not operated in a non-emergency condition.
System Design Parameters, Continued Subsequent Once an automatic activation has occurred, subsequent alarm signals that would normally result in Automatic the automatic actuation of a smoke control strategy shall be annunciated only. No fans or dampers Activation should be actuated in response to any subsequent automatic fire alarm signal in order to avoid the possibility of defeating any smoke control strategies that are in process.
