What is an AOV Window
An AOV Window can be part of an AOV System which is designed to vent smoke out of a building that is on fire. They can be triggered by either a detector or a call point on a control panel unit which will cause the windows and any other vents in the area to open.
What is a Smoke Vent System?
A smoke vent system is a connected arrangement of smoke and heat exhaust vents (SHEVs) which work in unison when a call point or detector is triggered. They are intended to clear smoke from buildings making escape routes more visible and reducing smoke damage to the building.
What Does AOV Stand For?
In this context, AOV stands for Automatic Opening Vent.
What is AOV Construction?
AOVs are being more prominently used in the construction of large, high-rise, buildings for both residential and commercial use. They are also used in buildings where the risk of fire is increased, such as factories or laboratories. Due to the fact the multiple occupancy buildings are required by law to have clear escape routes which are clear of smoke AOVs are the perfect solution to this.
What is natural smoke ventilation?
Natural smoke ventilation uses the inherent buoyancy of hot smoke and the airflow dynamics of smoke and air to remove smoke.
How does an AOV system work?
AOV systems when a detector or call point is triggered and this will cause the AOV system to open its windows or vents to create ventilation. This will clear smoke for people leaving the building and vents smoke out of the are that has been triggered.
Can a window be an AOV?
Yes, windows can be an AOV. Automatic Opening Ventilation (AOV) windows help to clear lobbies, landings and corridors in the event of a fire.
