Colt Cyclone

Introduction

Colt Cyclone is a low profile, high velocity induction fan intended to control air movement and direct polluted air and smoke towards the extract positions in a car park.

Car Park Ventilation Systems:

Car park ventilation systems are required to achieve two objectives. Firstly, when the car park is in general use, it is important that the exhaust fumes produced by vehicles are effectively removed and that there are no stagnant pockets of harmful gases.

Secondly, in the event of a fire, assistance needs to be given to the Fire Service to clear smoke from the car park during and after the fire.

In addition, car park ventilation systems may be designed to provide clear, smoke free access for fire fighters to tackle the fire, or alternatively to protect means of escape from the car park.

Scheme Design:

Each car park is different and Colt will provide a scheme designed to suit the exact requirements of the project. Colt car park ventilation systems include one or more of the following elements:

  1. Inlet either naturally through the entrance/exit ramps/fixed ventilation louvres, or mechanically via supply fans.

  2. A mechanical system with dual fans discharging to atmosphere.

  3. Air distribution and mixing within the car park by a network of Cyclone Induction fans and/or Jetstream Impulse fans.

As part of a designed scheme involving detection, controls and extract units, the Cyclone fan adds momentum to the air to drive it towards an extract point.

In day to day operation the control system monitors the carbon monoxide levels within the car park and adjusts the ventilation rate accordingly, helping reduce energy use. Should a fire signal be received, the ventilation switches to the fire affected floor and the flow rates are increased.

Features and Benefits:

  1. Slimline Design – Only 314mm or 258mm deep.

  2. CE Marked

  4. Durable – Hot dipped galvanized casing with the option of polyester powder coating to any RAL colour.

  5. Inlet Guard

  6. Low Maintenance – No distribution ductwork to clean.

  7. High Thrust – Fewer units than conventional impulse fans.

  8. Inspection Hatch – Easy access for service and maintenance.

  9. Suitable for two speed or variable speed operation

  10. Protective Coating - Cyclone units are provided with a protective coating to ensure their durability in the environments for which they are installed, with optional RAL colours available if required.
