Smart Smoke Control That Activates When It Matters Most
Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) systems are an essential part of modern smoke control solutions. Designed to open automatically during a fire, they release smoke and heat, keeping escape routes clear and helping emergency services respond effectively.
At [Your Company Name], we specialize in designing, supplying, and maintaining AOV systems that meet safety regulations and enhance building protection.
What is an AOV System?
An AOV (Automatic Opening Vent) system is a smoke ventilation solution that opens windows, roof vents, or louvres when triggered by:
-
Smoke detectors
-
Fire alarm systems
-
Manual call points
The system is either electrically or pneumatically operated, and it helps:
-
Extract smoke and hot gases
-
Provide breathable air for evacuation
-
Maintain visibility in corridors and stairwells
Key Components of an AOV System
-
Vents – Roof-mounted or wall-mounted, including louvres or domes
-
AOV Control Panels – Manage power, triggers, and fail-safe operation
