Door Fan Tests

Door Fan Tests

The leakage test carried out in the protected enclosure allows SIEX to ensure the effectiveness of its installation, obtaining full assurance that it will not fail due to leaks.  To perform these tests, SIEX has the best equipment on the market and its staff has the appropriate accreditation certificates. 

 

In terms of project design, one of the key points is to look for possible openings through which extinguishing gas may leak. Open areas must be closed and, if not possible, these openings must be kept to a minimum to prevent agent leaking into adjacent spaces. 

 

This test is simple and accurate. With the "Door Fan Test" we re-create site conditions in the enclosure similar to those that would occur during gaseous extinguishing agent discharge. This has great advantages. It improves the sealing of our enclosure, so we obtain the same results as if an actual discharge had been made while saving on installation costs. Taking the pressure inside the enclosure and the flow through the fan, the calculator determines the retention time. Codes: ISO 14520-1 UNE-23570, and NFPA 2001 standards.
