1. The function is to reduce the
spread of fire and smoke
between separate
compartments of a structure
and to enable safe egress
from a building or structure
or ship. Fire doors also
enable the

structures, helping in slowing
the spread of flames. Since
these compartments are
frequently connected by the
fire doors, they serve two
roles; when closed they
create a barrier to limit the
spread of fire and when
opened they give a method
of escape.

Having your premises equipped up with the thought required hearthplace protection
system enables to safeguard each your building to the people in and round it. But at
the same time as having these kinds of equipment is a terrific start, looking for
protection of your structure is an essential and should not simply neglect. Put off the

3.2.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
It is the most crucial activity to keep your air conditioner functioning smoothly. The
more you use your air conditioning (or heating) system, the more frequently you need
to replace the HVAC filter. Some chores are better left to the specialists. It’s
important that you have a skilled HVAC expert execute the following inspection
steps:
Dirt and dust generally collect on the AC’s evaporator and condenser coils,
decreasing airflow in the unit and their capacity to absorb heat. To maintain AC
running effectively, dirt and debris are meticulously cleaned from the coils. Inspect
and Unclog the Drain Occasionally, the drain channel of your HVAC system may get
blocked by the growth of mold and algae, which must be removed.

There are metal fins on the AC’s evaporator and condenser coils that may easily get
bent, blocking regular airflow to your HVAC system. Straightening and cleaning the
fins restores correct airflow and boosts the efficiency of your system.
An HVAC specialist will check to make sure that the right quantity of refrigerant is
being utilized, and that there are no current refrigerant leaks or symptoms of potential
leaks.
Air flow is vital to the function of your air conditioner. Your local HVAC professional
will monitor the airflow through the evaporator coil, check for leaks in ductwork, and
repair any leaks that are identified.
Your AC unit will not operate if the control board doesn’t function correctly. Your
HVAC expert will examine the control board to verify that connections are tight and
working.

3.3 OPERATION SYSTEM
Air conditioners come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all run on the same
underlying premise. An air conditioner delivers cool air within your home or enclosed
space by actually reducing heat and humidity from the inside air. It returns the cooled
air to the inside environment, and transfers the undesirable heat and humidity
outside. A standard air conditioner or cooling system utilizes a specialized chemical
called refrigerant, and has three key mechanical components: a compressor, a
condenser coil and an evaporator coil. These components work together to rapidly
convert the refrigerant from gas to liquid and back again. The compressor enhances
the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas and sends it to the condenser
coil where it is transformed to a liquid. Then the refrigerant travels back inside and
enters the evaporator coil. Here the liquid refrigerant evaporates, and cools the inside
coil. A fan sweeps inside air over the cold evaporator coil where the heat within the
dwelling is absorbed into the refrigerant. The cooled air is then circulated throughout
the home while the heated evaporated gas is transported back outside to the
compressor. The heat is later released into the external air when the refrigerant
returns to a liquid form. This technique continues until your residence has acquired
the right temperature.
