Description
- The invention relates to a fire damper, and more particularly, to a fire damper having a fusible link, and a normally open, thermally insulated rotating louver connected to an external biasing member.
- Fire dampers are used to seal an air handling system from a space experiencing a fire, thereby preventing any backflow of oxygen to the space through the ductwork. Sealing the ductwork deprives the fire of oxygen.
- Fire dampers may generally comprise louvers, but, such louvers comprise simple metallic sheets. Such construction adversely affects the period of time that the louver, and thereby the fire damper, can resist failure caused by hot gases from a fire.
- Representative of the art is U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,867 to VanBecelaere (1985) which discloses a transversely circular fire damper having a butterfly type blade operated by a jack shaft spaced longitudinally of the housing from the blade axle. Linkage including an “over center” stop rotates the blade in one direction by operation of a motor coupled with the shaft. A clutch in the form of a pair of relatively telescoped members secured together with entectic solder is connected with the jack shaft and the motor so that the shaft is released from the motor when the ambient temperature reaches a point high enough to melt the solder. The jack shaft is spring biased in a direction to close the damper blade under such condition.
- What is needed is a fire damper having a fusible link, and a normally open, thermally insulated rotating louver connected to an external biasing member. The present invention meets this need.
- The primary aspect of the invention is to provide a fire damper having a fusible link, and a normally open, thermally insulated rotating louver connected to an external biasing member.
- Other aspects of the invention will be pointed out or made obvious by the following description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.
- The invention comprises a fire damper comprising a housing, a louver member rotationally engaged within the housing, the louver member having a substantially gas tight seal with the housing when the louver member is in a closed position, a biasing member disposed outside of the housing and engaged with the louver member for moving the louver member from an open position and holding the louver member in the closed position, a temperature sensitive member releasably connected to the louver member, the temperature sensitive member for releasing the louver member from the open position at a predetermined temperature, and the louver member further comprising insulation material to control heat transfer through the louver member for a predetermined period of time.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with a description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
