Fire Exposed Duct System

Why FEDS

What FEDS does

FEDS can calculate the necessary fire insulation for:
• Fans operating with external or internal fire
• Fire dampers, with and without leakage

Furthermore, the design is influenced by:
• Surface external emissivity, which varies with insulation point and surface covering
• Flow and flow direction
• Branches and connections
• Diffuser placement

FEDS provides a clear picture by simulating both internal and external fire temperatures for various parts of the ventilation duct system. With the program’s static calculation method and optional input temperatures, you receive resulting data on temperatures across various surfaces of the duct system.

Input in the program (general):
• Duct dimensions and cross-section (circular or rectangular)
• Optional ambient temperature on fire-exposed and non-fire-exposed sides, duct end
• Material thickness and thermal conductivity
• Air velocity/airflow
• Duct end blockage to calculate maximum outer temperature at air outlets
• Internal heat load to calculate potential duct fires

Input in the program (per duct section):

• Type of section, duct, and length, insulated or uninsulated or fire damper, and respective section ambient temperature
• Adjustable value for emissivity, for both the inner and outer sides of each section

What FEDS does

FEDS contributes to more sustainable construction

With FEDS, you can streamline insulation usage. Where appropriate, you can also incorporate safety distances to combustible material in combination with insulation in the calculation. This method optimizes the amount of insulation material, resulting in reduced construction costs while contributing to reducing environmental impact. By using less material and lowering costs, we are making a positive contribution to a greener future.
