WHY PRESSURISE?
– Natural AOV’s
– Natural Shafts
– Mechanical ColtShaft
WHY PRESSURISE?
• Alternative to natural ventilation when escape stairs or
fire fighting stairs are landlocked
• fire fighting shafts over 10m deep and over 30m tall (Class B)
INSTALLATIONS
– Is there a lift?
Pressurise the stairs only. Only used where the staircase is entered via a
simple lobby (i.e. a lobby without lifts or other possible escape route) or
directly from the accommodation.

EQUIPMENT
• Fans
– ambient rated
– duty + standby (or standby motor) if only one MOE
route; usually in series to save space
– One fan set may supply stairs, lobbies and lift shaft
– not usually attenuated unless needed for test periods
– In 1 hour fire rated enclosure or roof
• Power supplies
– primary + secondary
– Mains + generator or separate mains supply
• Pressure relief
– usually gravity damper in stair
– inverter control of fans possible but difficult due to
response speed requirement
EQUIPMENT
• Ductwork
– separate vertical ducts for stair, lobbies, lift shaft
– ambient rated unless breaching fire compartmentation
– Builders work shafts are suitable if well sealed
– VCD required at each tee and grille for balancing
– Two separate inlets facing different directions with
smoke detector operated inlet dampers if at roof level
– 5m away from any smoke exhaust
• Grilles
– one per 3 storeys in stair
– one per lobby
– one per 30m in lift shaft
EQUIPMENT
• Class B initiation
– Can be manual switch from MOE state or direct from
automatic fire detection system
• P = 0.5 ( Q2/A2 )
• Q = 0.83 (A P0.5 )
– add 50% safety margin + 15% margin for duct leakage + 20%
duct pressure loss margin
• While the test method aims to neutralise the effects of wind, testing
on windy (and especially blustery) days should be avoided if
possible
• On day of test, ensure all other H&V systems are shut down
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
• PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL
51
PERFORMANCE TESTING
Pressures
• On each floor in turn open all doors, allow them to close and then
measure the pressure differential across each relevant door
Velocities
• Proposals are:
– Delete ‘kit’ references and CE marking
– Simplify system requirements
– Reduce costs
– Not likely to be published until 2011
