Room Integrity
Test
(Door Fan Test)
What is a door fan test?
The door fan merely measures the
size of the holes in the enclosure and the pressure that may exist
across them. The computer on board does the rest of the
simulation and comes up with the prediction.
Retrotec began producing state of
the art air flow testing equipment in 1981 and has performed
thousands of tests, making them a leader in the industry.
Renotec gave presentations to the FSSA, NFPA, SFPE, and NAFED, and
wrote most of NFPA Appendix B.
Getz Fire Equipment recommends
doing a room integrity test anytime holes are made in the
protected enclosure. It is also recommended that room
integrity be done before and after any new fire suppression
equipment is installed. This affords the opportunity to
properly seal the room before extra equipment is moved in.
Door fan replaces the discharge
test.
Now both NFPA2001 and 12A require
an enclosure test (section 4-7.2.3) as part of the acceptance
procedure for all clean agent systems.
Our technicians are trained on and
use only Retrotec room integrity testing equipment. Our
commitment to use state of the art testing equipment assures you
will receive the most accurate information available. A fan
test performed by Getz Fire Equipment  gives
the peace of mind of knowing the fire suppression system will hold
the concentration of agent as designed.
