Horizontal mount fire dampers utilize springs to pull the blades closed. Dynamic rated fire dampers utilize closure springs in both vertical and horizontal applications to ensure the blades close fully under airflow conditions. Static Rated vs. Dynamic Rated Fire Dampers: Static fire dampers were designed for use in HVAC systems that shut down (fans off) in the event of a fire alarm. They have not been tested to ensure closure while air is moving in the duct. Dynamic fire dampers have been tested under specific airflow and static pressure conditions in order to ensure that the damper will close in today’s HVAC designs that utilize 'fans on' smoke management systems. See Dynamic Fire Damper Selection Procedures in this section.

Definition of a Fire Damper:The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 90A defines a fire damper as "a device, installed inan air distribution system, that is designed to close automatically upon detection of heat, to interrupt migratoryairflow, and to restrict the passage of flame."

Although curtain fire dampers restrict flame and airflow passage as described in the NFPA definition, they arevirtually transparent to heat and therefore ineffective for use in openings in fire-rated ceiling assemblies. SeeCeiling Damper Basics, on page C30, for more details.

Types of Curtain Fire DampersCurtain type fire dampers are generally available in three configuration as follows:

TYPE 'A' TYPE 'B' TYPE 'C'

Openings in vertical fire separations ie: walls and partitions, require a vertical mount fire damper (duct runshorizontally). Gravity causes the blades to drop closed (static rated dampers).Openings in horizontal fire separations ie: floors, require a horizontal mount fire damper (duct runs vertically).Horizontal mount fire dampers utilize springs to pull the blades closed.Dynamic rated fire dampers utilize closure springs in both vertical and horizontal applications to ensure theblades close fully under airflow conditions.

Static Rated vs. Dynamic Rated Fire Dampers:Static fire dampers were designed for use in HVAC systems that shut down (fans off) in the event of a firealarm. They have not been tested to ensure closure while air is moving in the duct.Dynamic fire dampers have been tested under specific airflow and static pressure conditions in order toensure that the damper will close in today’s HVAC designs that utilize 'fans on' smoke management systems.See Dynamic Fire Damper Selection Procedures in this section.Generally, a dynamic rated damper can be used in both static (fans off) or dynamic (fans on) type systems, buta static rated fire damper can only be used in a 'static' system (fans shut down during alarm).

Did You Know?....• Fire dampers must be mounted in a steel sleeve. The damper/sleeve assembly is held in place in the wall,

partition or floor by use of retaining angles on each side of the wall etc. Ductwork shall connect to the sleeveon either side, as required, providing a connection that can 'break away' should the ductwork fall during a fire.This allows the damper/sleeve assembly to remain in the wall etc., maintaining the integrity of the fire barrier.

• NFPA 90A requires that fire barriers of less than 3 hours utilize a 1 1/2 hour rated fire damper. Fire barriers of3 hours or more require a 3 hour rated fire damper.

• All fire dampers must be installed as per manufacturer’s instructions.

Blades and frame in the airstream. Blades out of the airstream; With bladesout of airstream, provides better freearea and resulting pressure dropcharacteristics than Type 'A', especiallyon smaller size dampers.

Blades and frame out of the airstream;used mainly for transitioning to round oroval duct. Provides optimum pressuredrop characteristics with blades andframe out of airstream.

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard for Safety UL 555 evaluates fire dampers for use as either: (A) Fire dampersfor static systems – for HVAC systems that are automatically shut down in the event of a fire or for air transfer openingsin walls or partitions; (B) Fire dampers for dynamic systems – for HVAC systems that are operated in the event of a fire.Dynamic Fire Dampers are therefore required to close under airflow.All fire dampers must be labeled to indicate if they are to be used in static or dynamic systems. For dynamic rateddampers, this label must also indicate the maximum rated velocity through the open damper, and the maximumpressure differential across the closed damper.To attain approval for use in a dynamic system, UL Standard 555 requires that test dampers close three times (manuallyreleased) against their rated flow and shut-off pressure at ambient air temperature before heat is introduced to causethe fusible link to melt and close the damper one final time.All Manufactured Air Products dynamic curtain type fire dampers have been tested to 2000 fpm (10.16 m/s) and 4" w.g.(1 kPa) static pressure.

EXAMPLE #1: SINGLE SECTION FIRE DAMPERTo determine the maximum allowable airflow through the following damper:Type A damper 24" x 24". The maximum rated velocity is 2000 fpm. 24" x 24" is 4 sq. ft. (Width in inches x Height in inches dividedby 144 = sq. ft.), therefore, maximum allowable airflow is 2000 fpm x 4 sq. ft. = 8,000 cfm.

Check the maximum system pressure that could occur against a closed damper. Manufactured Air Products dynamic fire dampershave been tested and are rated to close against 4" w.g.

36" (914)

32"(813)

EXAMPLE #2: MULTIPLE SECTION FIRE DAMPERTo determine the maximum allowable airflow through the following multi-section damper assembly: Type A damper 36" x 32" opening (the assembly will consist of four 18" x 16" dampers); The maximum rated velocity is 2000 fpm.36" x 32" is 8 sq. ft., therefore, 2000 fpm x 8 sq. ft. = 16000 cfm. This is the maximum allowable airflow that may be passed throughthe 36" x 32" opening.

Check the maximum system pressure that could occur against a closed damper. Manufactured Air Products dynamic fire dampershave been tested and are rated to close against 4" w.g.
