Fire Pressure Ventilator FPV

Purpose and goal

The function of the product that we wanted to investigate in the project would allow a whole new way to prevent fire to spread through the ventilation system in buildings. Because of unforeseen consequences regarding how buildings are affected by surrounding weather conditions, we have been come to the fact that the product does not apply to the wide range of applications that were originally intended.

Results and expected effects

This study was expected to verify the theoretical conditions for the idea regarding a fire pressure ventilator. After calculations and assumptions, we could conclude that the outcome was negative and that the study therefore is not completed as we had expected from the beginning, since the performed calculations show that the intended function of the fire pressure ventilator were not achievable.

Approach and implementation

The calculations and the theoretical verification were performed according to the project plan and resulted in a report with complete calculations and analysis. An investigation of the potential for the fire pressure ventilator on the market was carried out to some extent. A market analysis through review of other possible competing solutions on the market were carried out only briefly. Reporting of the study is done according to the plan, however, with the conclusion that the idea of a fire pressure ventilator will not work in the way that the idea was originally.
