Intended Use
The re protection damper is used as a thermal barrier device to prevent the spread of re and smoke through the air duct. The re protection
damper can be used in supply and exhaust air systems, with or without heat recovery. Intended installation locations include solid walls, solid
ceilings, lightweight partitions, shaft walls, wooden ceilings, board stack walls, plywood walls, and wood stud walls. Installation can be done
vertically and horizontally with any airow direction. Connections can be made to air ducts made of combustible or non-combustible materials,
including single-sided connections with grille cover. In accordance with European standards, use without dual pipe connections is possible unless
there are national requirements to the contrary. Under the conditions of intended installation and operation, the Type WFK re protection damper
achieves the performance class DIN EN 13501-3:2007 + A1:2009. Furthermore, the general maintenance guidelines DIN 31051 and EN 13306 apply.
Prohibited Uses
The re protection damper must not be used under the following conditions
Use as a smoke extraction damper
Use in hazardous areas (Ex zones)
Use outdoors without adequate protection against weather inuences
Use in exhaust systems of commercial kitchens
Use in ventilation systems where function is hindered by heavy contamination, extreme humidity, or chemical contamination.
Use in installation situations where internal inspection, such as camera inspection, reection, and cleaning of the re protection damper in its
installed state, is not possible.
Modications to the re protection damper and the use of spare parts not approved by Bartholomäus GmbH are not allowed.
Residual hazards
geba-Fire protection dampers undergo rigorous quality controls during manufacturing. Additionally, a functional test is conducted prior to delivery.
Damages during transportation or installation can lead to a compromised function. The proper and undamaged condition of the re protection
damper must be checked before installation and during commissioning
