The enev-kit operates as an advanced smoke extraction and air ventilation system, particularly designed for elevator shafts. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Smoke Extraction System (RAS):
- The RAS continuously draws air through the suction piping network from the area being monitored, detecting even the smallest smoke particles.
- If smoke is detected, the built-in louvre valve in the shaft head for the smoke exhaust opening opens, allowing the smoke to escape unhindered.
- Normally, the valve remains closed, preventing heat from escaping the building.
- The system includes temperature and time controls for ventilating the shaft.
- In the event of a power failure, it opens via a spring mechanism to ensure safety.
Monitoring & Triggering:
- The enev-kit is recognized for its reliable monitoring and triggering capabilities, making it one of the best smoke extraction and air ventilation systems for elevator shafts available in the market.
- Optional humidity measurement can be included, ensuring optimal indoor climate and preventing mold.
The device’s status and all the climate information of the space are displayed on the system’s screen. - Depending on the building type and other factors, it can offer significant annual savings in heating and cooling costs, with a rapid return on investment (ROI).
The enev-kit opens the louvre valve in response to:
- Smoke detection
- Power outage
- Disturbances
- Ventilation functions
Controlled Ventilation Intervals:
- Initiated by measuring the indoor climate, including:
- CO2 ventilation exceeding the value of 1500 ppm (hygienic indoor air value for fresh air)
- Temperature exceeding 35°C (operating temperature for elevators is 5 – 40°C)
- Adjustable air humidity between 40-90% relative humidity (optional)
- Timer switch for freely programmable intervals for boost ventilation
The system’s design and functionalities make it not only effective in maintaining a safe and comfortable elevator shaft environment but also in promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in building management.
