Car Park Fire Safety & Ventilation
Car park system solutions should monitor and control pollution and also be ready to jump-into-action during a smoke extraction emergency in the case of a fire.
The FläktGroup Thrust Fan System is one of the most efficient and cost effective car park ventilation systems available on the market today.
Both day-to-day pollution and emergency smoke are safely and effectively ventilated. Designed to the highest standards and meeting the most stringent criteria to ensure all design requirements are met.
- High System Performance
- Low Installation Costs
- Low Running Costs Optimises Car Park space
- CFD System Design
- Complete Turnkey Package available
We have built up vast applicational knowledge through involvement in many major construction projects, such as offices, hotels, airports, commercial buildings but also demanding applications like car parks, cruise ships and oil & gas platforms. The ability to offer a full range of products, coupled with our vast experience of HVAC systems, makes FläktGroup the ideal provider of Fire Safety solutions.
Jet Thrust Systems
The FläktGroup Jet Thrust System replaces traditional ductwork with arrays of small fans called Jet Thrust Fans, that distribute the supply air towards the extract point.
Higher System Performance
By controlling the air supply with Thrust fans a full smoke control design can be made – something just not possible with a conventional ducted extract system. In an emergency situation, full fan extract rate can be reached in as little as 20 seconds allowing immediate response to the situation. Full smoke control can be designed into the system, which can encompass fully reversible Jet and extract fans if required.
Lower Installation and Running Costs
Installation costs are normally lower with a Thrust Fan System, compared to a ducted system. Installation is simpler saving on labour costs, dependant on the size and form of the car park. There are other hidden savings too. With no ductwork, other services such as, cables, gas and water supplies, soil pipes and so on, can be routed straight across the ceiling line, without having to divert around extract ductwork or hangers. Access for routine maintenance is easy, and of course, there are no distribution ducts and dampers to be cleaned and inspected.
Design & CFD
Jet Thrust Fans are one part of a system, and it doesn’t mater how good the product is if the design is flawed.
FläktGroup have a design and CFD Centre of Excellence based in the UK, supported by local specialists . The Design team are focused on delivering the optimum design tailored to local regulatory requirements, optimising air quality, fire safety, installed cost and full life cycle costs.
We design smoke clearance, smoke control, temperature control and pollution control systems, using the latest techniques.
For Consultants:
- Preserve the integrity of the architects design
- Reduce project costs by optimising the system design
- Reduce energy consumption in ventilation mode
For Contractors:
- Lower installation costs
- Simplify installation
- Optimise other project costs: excavation, smoke shaft size, switchgear
For Building Owners/Operators:
- Protect life & property
- Reduce energy consumption
- Increase lettable space
For Occupants:
- Increased fire safety
- Lower noise levels
PART ONE: CAR PARKS: UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR VENTILATION
Whether for simple pollution control, smoke clearance or purging, or complete smoke control, almost every car park needs ventilation. Understanding why – and the different purposes ventilation can fulfill – is key to designing and specifying the right system for each car park.

PART TWO: CAR PARKS: THE ADVANTAGES OF A THRUST FAN SYSTEM
While traditional ducted ventilation systems are relatively simple to design and install, they have some inherent disadvantages. A Ductless Jet Thrust System can provide better and more effective airflow, can be made reversible to aid smoke control, and is less likely to reduce vehicle clearance height or car park capacity.

PART THREE: CAR PARKS: POLLUTION CONTROL AND SMOKE CONTROL
Car Park mechanical ventilation systems can be broadly defined into three types: Pollution Only; Smoke Clearance or Purging; and Smoke Control. In this article we look at the characteristics of each type of installation, and how in each case a Jet Thrust System provides a more effective solution than a traditional Ducted System.

PART FOUR: THE BENEFITS OF ENHANCED DESIGN IN CAR PARK VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Enhanced Design involves computer modelling of a project and selecting the best Controls philosophy, depending on the restrictions of the site and the scope of supply. In this article we look at computational fluid dynamics, Advanced Controls, and System benefits.
