Under the enclosed conditions of offshore wind energy environments, ventilation systems are crucial for personnel safety and equipment integrity. The potential for fire is always present, where smoke and toxic gases often pose a greater threat than the flames themselves. Thus, ventilation must ensure both effective airflow and reliable fire containment, supported by continuous air quality monitoring to safeguard personnel health. With extensive experience in offshore wind indoor ventilation, Halton provides robust solutions to address these critical requirements.
Certified Fire Dampers
In fire safety ventilation, fire dampers are critical in preventing smoke spread. Halton is the top manufacturer of gas-tight fire dampers.
With 30 years of experience in producing marine-type fire dampers, Halton has delivered over 200,000 certified units to the market. All dampers are approved by major classification societies. Selected products also carry ATEX certification and have passed rigorous g‑shock and vibration tests, making them fully suitable for the demanding conditions of offshore wind energy environments.
Halton offers a complete range of reliable fire dampers for various ventilation needs, effectively blocking the spread of smoke and toxic gases from the source, thereby securing valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.
Beyond Fire Safety
While fire safety is critical, maintaining healthy indoor air is equally vital for personnel working in offshore wind environments. People spend most of their time indoors, on average 90%, and each individual requires 12,000 litres of clean air daily. The quality of the indoor environment therefore directly impacts health and wellbeing. Pollutants indoors can cause or worsen allergies, irritation, and respiratory conditions, and may lead to more serious health issues.
With over 50 years of experience in indoor air solutions, Halton provides a cloud-based air quality monitoring system that enables 24/7 tracking and data analysis. Our monitor measures up to 8 key parameters, including temperature, humidity, and common indoor pollutants such as dust (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), CO, CO₂, O₃, NO₂, and VOCs. These sensors deliver real-time air quality feedback and help verify proper HVAC operation, with all data accessible and manageable via a secure cloud platform.
Ventilation on Demand
Halton also excels in energy efficiency and operational management. Its demand-controlled ventilation solutions use CO₂ sensors to dynamically adjust airflow based on occupancy, delivering high-quality indoor air while saving energy. Monitoring data further enables predictive maintenance, helping to prevent equipment issues and lower operational costs.
From reliable fire dampers to intelligent air quality monitoring, Halton provides a complete solution that builds dual protection for both safety and health in indoor ventilation environments of offshore wind power systems. This enables personnel to work with peace of mind, free from concerns over ventilation or air quality risks.
