As the demand for compliant life safety systems continues to grow across the Building Services sector, Dalroad is pleased to introduce an integrated smoke extraction solution designed for Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems (SHEVS). Combining an ELTA Smoke Extract Fan, LS Electric S100 Variable Speed Drive and KATKO Local Isolator, the solution provides specifiers and system manufacturers with a coordinated approach to designing compliant smoke control systems.
Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems are designed to create a smoke-free layer above floor level during the early stages of a fire. By removing smoke and hot gases from the affected area, these systems help maintain safe escape routes for building occupants whilst improving visibility for emergency services.
Smoke extraction systems are commonly installed within:
As building safety standards continue to evolve, the specification of compliant, compatible electrical technologies has become increasingly important. Dalroad’s integrated solution brings together three industry-leading technologies, selected to work together within smoke control applications.
At the heart of the solution is the ELTA EN12101-3:2015 certified smoke extract fan, engineered for high-temperature operation and reliable airflow performance during emergency smoke extraction. Independently tested and certified, ELTA fans are designed to perform when it matters most, helping maintain tenable escape routes and supporting life safety within commercial and industrial buildings.
The LS Electric S100 Variable Speed Drive provides precise control of the smoke extract fan during both normal ventilation and emergency operation. The S100 can also be supplied with an adjustable Fire Mode frequency feature, providing additional flexibility for smoke control applications and a capability not yet offered by many competing solutions.
Completing the solution is the KATKO Local Isolator, providing safe local electrical isolation adjacent to the smoke extract fan. Designed for demanding environments, the isolator enables safe maintenance and servicing whilst supporting the integrity and reliability of the overall smoke extraction system.
By combining trusted technologies from ELTA, LS Electric and KATKO into a single integrated solution, Dalroad simplifies specification and procurement for Building Services professionals, whilst providing confidence that the key electrical components have been selected specifically for smoke extraction applications.
Whether supporting smoke control system manufacturers, panel builders or Building Services contractors, Dalroad continues to partner with leading manufacturers to provide the electrical technologies that underpin modern life safety systems.
