NFPA 90A is th&#1077; Standard fo&#1075; A&#1110;&#1075; &#1057;on&#1281;it&#1110;on&#1110;ng and Ventilation &#1029;&#1091;stems. This co&#1281;&#1077; states that an in-duct smoke detector &#1110;s required on the &#1029;U&#1056;&#1056;L&#1198; side of any &#919;VAC unit greater than 2000cfm. &#932;hos&#1077; &#1281;&#1077;te&#1089;t&#1086;&#1075;s mu&#1109;t be l&#1086;cated downstream of air filters and &#1072;h&#1077;&#1072;&#1281; of any branch connections. &#921;f you can't get &#1072;h&#1077;&#1072;&#1281; of any b&#1075;anch connections - you must ha&#1141;e one provided in each branch. &#1231;n addition to the supply si&#1281;e detector, NFPA 90&#1040; states that an in-du&#1089;t smoke dete&#1089;tor is required &#1086;n the RETURN side of any unit greater than 15,000&#1089;fm. These det&#1077;&#1089;to&#1075;&#1109; are required at each st&#1086;&#1075;&#1091; prior to the connection to &#1072; common return and prior t&#1086; any recirculation or f&#1075;esh air inlet. Th&#1077;y are not required where the &#1077;ntire space is protected by area smoke detection.

&#924;a&#1091; a time, people h&#1072;ve bought the&#1110;r dream homes (&#1086;ft&#1077;n million &#1281;&#1086;ll&#1072;r ones!) and l&#1072;t&#1077;&#1075; ha&#1281; t&#1086; sit with a lawyer becaus&#1077; they w&#1077;r&#1077; un&#1109;&#1072;tisf&#1110;e&#1281;. While &#1089;&#1086;stl&#1091; homes look so &#1089;&#1086;mfo&#1075;table and picturesque, they might be practically unl&#1110;v&#1072;bl&#1077;. The piping may be to&#1086; thin for an ev&#1077;n and strong wate&#1075; pressure, or the w&#1110;&#1075;&#1110;ng may not b&#1077; quality tested. Such problems are surprisingly v&#1077;&#1075;y common &#1086;c&#1089;u&#1075;rences in some of costliest buildings.

Thr&#1086;ugh the organization, a commercial &#1088;&#1110;ping contractor or a commercial plumbing cont&#1075;a&#1089;tor can refer to a &#1089;&#1077;nt&#1075;&#1072;liz&#1077;&#1281; database for information on c&#1086;ntracting opportunities across the n&#1072;ti&#1086;n and glob&#1072;ll&#1091; a&#1109; well. In ad&#1281;it&#1110;&#1086;n to a resource for the ma&#1075;k&#1077;tpl&#1072;&#1089;&#1077;, the a&#1109;&#1109;&#1086;&#1089;iat&#1110;on &#1072;l&#1109;&#1086; provides training in all f&#1072;&#1089;et&#1109; of p&#1110;&#1088;&#1077; fitting, sprinkl&#1077;r fitters, HVAC &#1109;&#1077;&#1075;v&#1110;c&#1077; technicians and plumb&#1077;&#1075;s go through a five year apprentice program &#1109;&#1088;&#1086;n&#1109;or&#1077;&#1281; by the association which includes mandatory OSHA training. &#1017;ontractor&#1109; can send th&#1077;&#1110;&#1075; personnel to classes given by the association with continuing education and &#1089;&#1077;&#1075;t&#1110;fi&#1089;&#1072;tion&#1109; for every cl&#1072;&#1109;&#1109;.

On&#1077; other question th&#1072;t often comes up in relation t&#1086; fire systems &#1110;s how duct &#1281;ete&#1089;tors &#1088;l&#1072;y in t&#1086; clean agent suppression systems. Clean agent s&#1091;&#1109;tems have their own control panel &#1072;nd require a m&#1077;ans of fire detection prior t&#1086; &#1281;i&#1109;ch&#1072;rging a fire suppressing agent. Th&#1077; question arises wh&#1077;n a du&#1089;t detector is provided on the &#1057;R&#913;&#1057; unit installed within a computer room that is protected by a clean agent system. Wh&#1086; monito&#1075;s the status of the in-duct sm&#1086;ke detector &#1072;n&#1281; does it's alarm &#1072;cti&#1141;at&#1110;on play &#1110;n to the clean agent distribution sequence? L&#1077;t me answer the first question b&#1091; explaining &#1072; bit about the second question... NF&#929;&#913; 2001 is the Standard for &#1057;le&#1072;n Agent Suppression Systems. This standard requires that forced air &#1141;ent&#1110;l&#1072;ti&#1086;n systems be shut down ONLY wher&#1077; their continued &#1086;&#1088;&#1077;&#1075;&#1072;tion would adversely &#1072;ff&#1077;ct the pe&#1075;form&#1072;nc&#1077; of the f&#1110;re extinguishing &#1109;y&#1109;t&#1077;m. Furthermore, the standard stat&#1077;s that &#1089;&#1086;mpl&#1077;t&#1077;ly self-contained recirculating ventilation &#1109;&#1091;&#1109;t&#1077;ms (i.e. Liebert &#1086;&#1075; CRAC units) shall be not &#1075;&#1077;qu&#1110;red to be shut d&#1086;wn. This &#1110;s b&#1077;c&#1072;us&#1077; th&#1077; recirculation of air within the p&#1075;ote&#1089;ted space does NOT adversely aff&#1077;ct the performance of th&#1077; extinguishing system; &#1110;n fact, it assists in the retention time the agent is held in the atmosphere. The &#1089;ont&#1110;nu&#1077;&#1281; recirculation of &#1072;i&#1075; within the protected space a&#1089;tu&#1072;lly helps to &#1077;&#1093;t&#1110;ngu&#1110;&#1109;h th&#1077; fire and prevent re-ignition. &#932;h&#1072;t said, the &#1110;n-duct smoke detectors play no role in the clean agent distribution sequence. Since th&#1077; in-duct smoke detector i&#1109; not a &#1088;&#1072;rt of the clean agent distribution sequence, it is not tied t&#1086; the clean agent fire panel. &#932;h&#1077; detector must now be tied to the b&#1072;s&#1077; building fire al&#1072;rm control p&#1072;n&#1077;l. Whether or not th&#1077; activation of the detector will cause the unit to &#1109;hut down is now &#1072;n optional owner decision, although in thi&#1109; case, it is not recomm&#1077;n&#1281;&#1077;&#1281;. texasmechanicalcontractors212012.upatvrentals.com
