What is an AOV System?
An Automatic Opening Vent System (AOV) is an essential part of modern smoke control systems. It works by automatically opening vents, windows, or hatches when smoke is detected, allowing the smoke to escape efficiently.
This reduces heat and toxic fumes, keeps escape routes clear, and provides firefighters with better visibility and safer access.
AOV systems are designed for rapid smoke extraction, protecting lives and limiting potential damage to the building. By creating a controlled pathway for smoke and hot gases, these systems give occupants precious time to evacuate safely.
Components of an AOV Ventilation System
AOV Vent:
An automatic opening vent window is a special type of window, rooflight, or louvre that automatically opens to release smoke and heat during a fire.
Smoke Detectors & Sensors:
These detect smoke or heat and send a signal to activate the system.
AOV Control Panel:
The “brain” of the system that processes signals from detectors and controls the opening of vents.
Manual Override Switches (MCPs):
Allow occupants or fire marshals to manually trigger or reset the system in case of emergency.
Actuators & Motors:
Mechanical parts that physically open and close the vents when triggered by the control panel.
Power Supply & Backup Battery:
Ensures the system works even in case of a power failure.
Where Are AOV Smoke Ventilation System Used?
AOV systems are incredibly versatile and can be installed in a variety of properties. Residential buildings, especially modern apartment blocks and high-rise flats, often require AOVs in stairwells and communal corridors to comply with fire safety legislation.
In commercial properties, such as offices, retail spaces, and hospitality venues, AOV systems provide a safe evacuation route while maintaining compliance with UK regulations. Large industrial buildings and underground car parks also benefit from AOVs, which help remove smoke and toxic fumes efficiently during an emergency.
