Design considerations for smoke
control

Two occurrences will hinder smoke control:

•

Plugholing

•

Smoke feedback

Smoke control systems should be designed to address the problems that
are caused by plugholing and smoke feedback.

Plugholing

Plugholing occurs when an exhaust fan pulls fresh air into the smoke
exhaust (Figure 10). Plugholing decreases the smoke exhaust and
increases the smoke layer depth. It has the potential of exposing
occupants to smoke.

The maximum flow of smoke (Q

max

) exhausted without plugholing

depends on the depth of the smoke layer and the temperature of the
smoke. If the required total smoke exhaust is greater than Q

max

,

additional exhaust vents will eliminate plugholing. The distance between
vents must be great enough that the air and smoke flow near one vent
does not affect the air and smoke flow near another vent.
