2. PURPOSE OF THE DEVICE
m
cr PROSMOKE FS
rolling curtains form part of a smoke control system also including
other products by MERCOR SA, such as
mcr PROLIGHT
point smoke exhaust vents,
mcr
PROLIGHT
system skylights and smoke exhaust vents integrated with continuous rooflights,
mcr
9705 and
mcr
0204 smoke exhaust control units, and others.
m
cr PROSMOKE FS
rolling curtains are used to define smoke zone in the space
under the ceiling in smoke and heat gravitational exhaust systems. Fire smoke is collected in
the smoke containers, and then is removed by smoke exhaust vents, e.g.
mcr PROLIGHT
.
Defining smoke zone in the space under the ceiling, the curtains confine the spread of
smoke, prevent it from cooling off and form a smoke layer of a designed thickness, ensuring
appropriate conditions for
mcr PROLIGHT
smoke exhaust vents to operate in.
mcr PROSMOKE FS
smoke curtains have a
certificate of conformity (No. 1396-
CPD-0033) with the requirements of the EN 12101-1:2007 standard, issued by a notified
certification body No. 1396.
The building designer is responsible for a proper design of the venting system and for
the selection of appropriate curtains for a specific application.
mcr PROSMOKE FS
curtains
are not intended to be used as smoke control doors. The curtains are fire protection devices.
They cannot function as gates or anything similar and they are not designed to be
activated/used every day for other purposes.
3. DESIGN OF CURTAINS
Rolling curtains consist of a casing, a roller with smoke-tight fabric (with a bottom bar)
wound onto it and a drive system
(fig. 1).
The casing is composed of two elements
– a fixed part and an access cover type K,
C, L, K-T
(fig. 2, 3).
