EXS Smoke and heat vent

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the EXS smoke-heat vent system, designed to improve safety during fires by facilitating the removal of smoke and heat. This system, developed by Basso Lucernari, is certified under regulation EN 12101-2 and serves as both a safety measure and a ventilation solution for industrial and commercial environments.

Component Characteristics

Base Frame: Made from folded galvanized steel, 15/10mm thick, 300mm high.
Opening Frame: Constructed with natural aluminum, featuring a double frame joined by an aluminum hinge with stainless steel pins.
Opening Mechanism: Utilizes a pneumatic cylinder activated by a safety circuit, with a heat-sensitive tube triggering at 68°/93°C to open the vent.
Cover: Features a thermoformed dome made from Perspex or polycarbonate, designed for quick installation without screws.

Performance and Classifications
The vent is classified for reliability (RE50), opening under weight (SL1000), low temperature (T00), wind load (WL 1500), and heat resistance (B300).

Inspection and Maintenance
The vent includes a removable release lever for external opening, ensuring maintenance access while preventing unauthorized use.

Innovative Opening Mechanism
The EASY AIR mechanism offers a single actuator with a double leverage system, enhancing stability and reducing pressure on the actuator during strong winds. This mechanism can be installed post-mounting.

Automatic Opening Device
Activated at 68°/93°C, the device includes a heat-sensitive tube, CO2 canister, and can be integrated with smoke detectors and emergency buttons.

Available Sizes
The vent is available in various square and rectangular sizes, with custom sizes available upon request.

LESS SMOKE, MORE SECURITY The first thing to do when a fire starts is to direct the removal of smoke and heat. By doing this the risk of intoxication and accidents caused by the rush of people to exits can be reduced and it will be easier to carry out first-aid. Thanks to its automatic opening using the revolutionary EXS mechanism, the new smoke-heat vent, researched and patented by Basso Lucernari, creates a layer of smoke-free air at ground level therefore making it easier for authorities to intervene. Used daily EXS works as an opening skylight for the ventilation of industrial and commercial...

EASY AIR EASY AIR mechanism for daily ventilation DAILY VENTILATION AN INNOVATIVE OPENING MECHANISM FOR DAILY VENTILATION EASY AIR is an innovative opening mechanism with a single electrical or pneumatic actuator and a double leverage system. This optional component means that the vent can be used as a normal opening skylight. A real change from traditional opening mechanisms. ADVANTAGES • Using a single thrust point the synchronism-parallelism of using two actuators is avoided (used in traditional mechanisms) • When using one single actuator and the leverage mechanism the opening vent is stable...
