Smoke dampers, as defined by Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA), are devices installed in HVAC systems to prevent the passage of air and smoke. These dampers are equipped with mechanisms connected to smoke detection systems, enabling them to close automatically when smoke is detected. This helps control the movement of smoke through the ventilation system. In an emergency, smoke dampers can stop smoke from entering critical escape routes like stairwells and elevator shafts via the HVAC system. As life-saving devices, smoke dampers play a vital role in protecting building occupants during a fire.
All Tamco smoke dampers are UL/ULC rated leakage class 1 and are UL/ULC approved for use in passive systems, smoke control systems, and smoke management systems. Tamco smoke dampers are all designed to prioritize safety and functionality while providing a maintenance-free operation.
