Heat & Smoke Removal Configuration
While Fumex fans are commonly used for general ventilation, they are also designed to discharge contaminated or grease-laden air
or fumes up and away from building surfaces with the Fatrap option. When equipped with the Heat and Smoke Removal option, this
series of fans incorporates features exclusively designed to exhaust heat and smoke in the event of fire. During these emergencies, the
fans are designed to operate at the temperature and time limits stated below. To maintain power to these fans during emergencies,
special consideration must be made for field power supply. In the event of an emergency, if power is maintained, the units will operate
for the times and temperatures indicated, after which they will continue to operate until they are destroyed by the extreme temperature
generated during an actual fire, or their roof structure collapses.
For smoke control systems, Heat and Smoke Removal configured fans are listed per UL for emergency smoke removal, referencing UL705,
UL793, Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI), and Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI).
The UL standard requires the fan to run at 500°F for 4 hours (IRI) and 1000°F for 15 minutes (SBCCI). PennBarry Heat and Smoke Removal
configured Fumex units are listed at 500°F for 4 hours and 1000°F for 1 hour. The additional 45 minutes at 1000°F will buy precious time
in the event of a fire.
Steel Wheel: The wheel is a standard duty, all-welded wheel (standard duty and high pressure belt drive). The blades are curved for
improved air performance while increasing their strength and rigidity. The wheel assembly is fully welded to provide extremely durable
and consistent performance. The wheel is dynamically balanced. Balancing weights are mechanically attached to the inside of the rims
of both the backplate and wheel inlet. This allows a precise placement of the weights anywhere within a full 360° range on two separate
planes, without the possibility of detachment.
Forced Motor Cooling: Motors and drive components are located out of the airstream in a separate compartment. Two cooling tubes
are located between the motor dome and discharge apron which enables fresh air to be drawn into the motor compartment during fan
operation. This allows the cooler outside air to wash over the motor and bearings. This positive cooling promotes longer life for the motor
and drive components.
High Wind Construction
High wind construction Fumex fans are specifically designed for high wind hurricane zones (HWHZ). The Fumex models are designed
to withstand 150 MPH winds in accordance with Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards. The units are 3rd party tested and
certified through a 3rd party Professional Engineer (P.E.) to meet these strict standards. Installation details are provided and since there are
no tie downs or external braces required for attaching the unit to the roof or curb this makes installation simple and easy. A wide range
is offered to meet all of your ventilation needs which includes all belt and direct drive sizes 36 and under.
