Inspection and maintenance of temperature control and smoke evacuation systems

Smoke and heat evacuation systems are used to remove the smoke and heat produced by a fire, facilitating extinguishing operations and the evacuation of people. Smoke and heat evacuation systems maintenance is a regulatory obligation that must be carried out by qualified personnel to ensure their correct functioning in case of fire.

Rely on Gielle SHEV systems maintenance service

  • Save lives: they enable the removal of the smoke produced by the combustion while keeping the escape routes free of smoke.
  • Prevent the structure from collapsing: fresh air from outside enters the smoke layer through the plume (smoke column), lowering the temperature significantly and preventing the building ceiling from collapsing.
  • Stop the rest of the building from combusting by flashover: by reducing the heat, we make sure that the smoke does not reach the temperature required to cause a Flashover (>650 ºC), thus avoiding a sudden widespread combustion of the other flammable materials in the building.
  • Assist the fire suppression services to extinguish the fire faster: keeping the lower part of the room free of smoke allows the fire suppression services to have a better visibility and easily access the fire source.

    SHEV SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY ON A REGULAR BASIS

    All those operations must be carried out by a professional company specialised in maintenance of smoke evacuation systems.

    01

    Every three months

    Ensure that there is no obstruction in the system and that no alterations were made to the geometry of the inspected building (partitions, false ceiling, furniture relocation, etc.) that could prevent its proper functioning. General visual inspection.

    02

    Every six months

    Verify the correct functioning of the system components by manually activating them and, if necessary, repair them so that the system is reliably and safely ready for use in case of a fire. Perform a thorough cleaning of the system components.

    03

    Every year

    Ensure that the system operates correctly in both its activation and rest positions. This includes testing its response to both manual and automatic activation signals. Confirm the availability of both the main and auxiliary power sources. Apply oil to the system components. Check the alarm and malfunction signals, as well as their interaction with the fire detection system.
