Paloovioväylien

Paloovioväylien refers to ventilation shafts or ducts specifically designed to facilitate the passage of smoke and hot gases during a fire. These are critical components in fire safety systems, particularly in buildings. The primary function of paloovioväylien is to create a controlled escape route for occupants by removing smoke from stairwells, corridors, and other essential circulation areas, thereby improving visibility and reducing the risk of smoke inhalation. They also serve to limit the spread of fire and smoke to different compartments of a building.

The design and installation of paloovioväylien are subject to strict building codes and fire safety regulations. These systems can be passive, relying on natural buoyancy and pressure differentials to draw smoke upwards, or active, employing fans to mechanically extract smoke. Active systems are often preferred for their reliability and efficiency. Regular maintenance and testing are essential to ensure that paloovioväylien function correctly in the event of a fire. The effectiveness of these systems is a key factor in reducing fire-related casualties and property damage.
