Room Integrity Testing – Fan Pressure Tests
The door fan merely measures the size of the holes in the enclosure and the pressure that may exist across them. The computer on board does the rest of the simulation and comes up with the prediction.
Retrotec began producing state of the art air flow testing equipment in 1981 and has
performed thousands of tests, making them a leader in the industry.
Retrotec gave presentations to the FSSA, NFPA, SFPE, and NAFED, and wrote most
of NFPA Appendix B.
Global Fire
Suppression recommends doing a room integrity test anytime holes are made in
the protected enclosure. It is also recommended that room integrity be
done before and after any new fire suppression equipment is installed.
This affords the opportunity to properly seal the room before extra equipment
is moved in.
Door fan
replaces the discharge test.
Now both
NFPA2001 and 12A require an enclosure test (section 4-7.2.3) as part of the
acceptance procedure for all clean agent systems.
Our
technicians are trained on and use only Retrotec room integrity testing
equipment. Our commitment to use state of the art testing equipment
assures you will receive the most accurate information available. A fan
test performed by Global Fire Suppression gives the peace of mind of knowing the
fire suppression system will hold the concentration of agent as designed.
