What Are Fire Dampers and How Do They Work?
Fire dampers are installed inside ductwork where it passes through fire compartments such as fireproof walls, ceilings, floors and partitions. They remain open when they are not in use, allowing air to pass and flow freely throughout the ducts.
There are different types of fire damper but the majority come with a thermal element or fusible link which melts when the temperature is higher than normal, activating the damper and triggering it to slam shut. This then seals the ductwork and delays the spread of smoke and fire throughout the property.
