Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV)

PPVWhat Is It?

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is a ventilation systems that stop the spread of smoke through buildings to increase the likelihood of safe evacuations in the event of a fire.

The Smoke Control Association (SCA) regulations dictate that lobby ventilation is required either by natural ventilation or mechanical smoke control systems and how to meet these standards.

How It Works

The system works by driving air into a lobby or stairwell, moving high-pressure air into low-pressure areas, and forcing smoke out of the communal areas, meaning people can evacuate safely.

The unit is operated by a smoke detector and will continue to run until it is reset.

PPV

The Result

This reduces the risks during a fire as people will be able to vacate the building safely.

What a Unit Contains

The PPV unit contains duty and standby fans, duty and standby fire dampers, a smoke detector interface, a phase automatic electrical change-over switch, controls, a status LED and a volt-free contact for 3rd party monitoring.

Benefits

The primary benefits of the PPV unit are evacuating smoke in the event of a fire, meeting safety regulations, and ensuring compliance. However, other benefits include the unit takes up minimal space, is relatively cheap to buy and install, causes little disruption to your building, and the units can be used for buildings or car parks.
