Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs) are electrically operated smoke vent rooflights





AOV Smoke Vent [Central Actuator] 

AOV Smoke Vent [Central Actuator]

  • Central Actuator combining smoke ventilation with access
  • Construction features a PVC kerb and a polycarbonate dome
  • Designed for automatic smoke extraction in the event of a fire
  • Typically sited on flat roofs above corridors and stairwells
  • Vents open to an angle of 140 degrees (140°)
  • Achieves full opening in less than 60 seconds
  • Fully tested and certified to BS EN 12101-2
  • Fully certified to Approved Document B (Fire Safety)

UK Made



Specifications

Standard Actuator positioning is as shown above (central to the hinge).

AOVs can be fitted on flat roofs with a pitch of up to 15°. The hinge side needs to be facing up the slope, please ensure you take this into consideration.

Free Area explanation for AOV Smoke Vent with PVC kerb

The size of the vent (at the smallest point) minus the area of any obstructions such as motors, ladders or grilles - how well air travels through a vent for natural ventilation:


Coefficient of Discharge (Cv) - a value to quantify the efficiency of a smoke vent. This is calculated by a third party.

Aerodynamic Free Area

The Smoke vent size a multiplied by the Coefficient of Discharge - overall performance of the vent. This is the most important, as it is the most accurate way to quantify the performance of the smoke vent. It is used in EN12101-2, BSI & UKCA certification and also stated on NBS specs.

* Not suitable for Stairwell use because does not achieve an Aerodynamic Free Area of more than 0.70 Aa m2 in a stairwell as per the requirement of EN 12101-2, not the grey area "free vent area" that is often quoted.

Free Area explanation for AOV Smoke Vent with DF Kerb (being fitted to existing upstand)

The size of the vent (at the smallest point) minus the area of any obstructions such as motors, ladders or grilles - how well air travels through a vent for natural ventilation:



Coefficient of Discharge (Cv) - a value to quantify the efficiency of a smoke vent. This is calculated by a third party.

Aerodynamic Free Area

The Smoke vent size less 150mm on each dimension, multiplied by the Coefficient of Discharge - overall performance of the vent. This is the most important, as it is the most accurate way to quantify the performance of the smoke vent. It is used in EN12101-2, BSI & UKCA certification and also stated on NBS specs.

Abbreviations: Aa = Aerodynamic Free Area, Cv = Coefficient flow

Mardome Trade Electronically Operated Smoke Vent Rooflights are individual polycarbonate domes intended for easy installation on flat roofs of all modern building types to provide natural smoke and heat exhaust, as well as comfort ventilation.

Control Panel

It is recommended that Mardome Smoke Vents are connected to the Smoke Vent control panel available from us. The control panel is designed to be used with the actuator of the Mardome Smoke Vent and provides a battery backup and additional line monitoring functionality. A Mardome Smoke Vent can be installed alongside other EN12101-10 compliant control systems but we cannot provide technical support concerning the control of the product and do not keep a list of compatible control systems. Installing with an alternative EN12101-10 control system will not affect the guarantee of the product. View control panel information here.
