FDA – A0(A60) Fire and gas damper

Overview

• Type-approved by most recognized classification societies: A0 without insulation, A-15 to A-60 when suitably insulated
• Blades contain stainless steel spring seals for low leakage in normal conditions and thermal expansion graphite seals (effective from 150ºC) to seal the damper in case of fire. Silicon sealing as an option
• Closed damper fulfills the requirement of leakage class 3 (EN1751:2014) for size > 300×300 mm and for size > 200×200 mm (silicon seals). Casing leakage class C
• The nominal strip fuse release temperature is 50 ºC, 74 ºC or 100 ºC. Other temperatures available
• Nominal glass bulb fuse release is available as an option with temperatures of 68 ºC or 93 ºC. Other temperatures available
• Low weight due to double skin blade structure
• Electrical or pneumatic operation system available
• Maximum duct pressure for damper construction 5000 Pa and maximum air velocity 15 m/s
• Normal operation temperature for damper between -50 ºC to +80 ºC. Actuator and component selection can affect this temperature range. Other temperatures available on request
• Available as ATEX/IECEx certified
• SIL 2 safety assessment certificate available for the damper on specific terms

Specification

Halton FDA fire dampers are type-approved class A0(A60) fire and gas dampers for use in offshore, marine and navy ventilation systems. The FDA can be installed in rectangular or circular ducts. All fire dampers have a fusible link and they prevent the spread of fire and gases within the ventilation ductwork. When the blades are in the open position, the device does not cause significant pressure loss, noise or flow disturbance. An open-closed indicator is visible on the outside of the damper. Fire dampers with non-standard dimensions can be supplied on request.

Dimensions and Material Thickness

FDA fire dampers meet international standards for both rectangular (width B 200-1200 mm with 25 mm division and height H 200-1600 mm with 50 mm division) and circular ducts (Ø200-1250 mm). Modular constructions up to 2500×2600 mm available.
Non-standard dimensions and flange drilling available on request. Standard flanges and drilling according to ISO 15138 standards. Frame thickness 3 mm or 3-5 mm according to SOLAS.
Blades are made of two sheets, each of them being 1 mm thick (sandwich design).

Product Models and Accessories

Halton FDA is available with following actuators:

• FDA-EL: Electrical spring return actuator; standard actuators being 24 VAC/DC or 230 VAC or 120 VAC. Depending on the choice of actuator, the actuator might contain built-in open-closed limit switches. Separate junction box included in the EL-model. A wide range of Ex actuators available, including a one second closing time function as an option.
• FDA-PNR: Pneumatic rotating actuator

Operation principles
