9、 is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be repre
10、sented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are
11、 drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a
12、vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 10294 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 10294-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire
13、 safety, Subcommittee SC 2, Fire containment. A test method was needed to evaluate the correct operation of damper-operating mechanisms. ISO 10294 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fire resistance tests Fire dampers for air distribution systems: Part 1: Test method Part 2: Cla
14、ssification, criteria and field of application of test results Part 3: Guidance on the test method Part 4: Test of thermal release mechanism Annexes A and B of this part of ISO 10294 are for information only.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10294-4:2001(E) ISO 2001 All rights reserved 1 Fire resistance te
15、sts Fire dampers for air distribution systems Part 4: Test of thermal release mechanism WARNING In order that suitable precautions may be taken to safeguard health, the attention of all concerned in fire testing is drawn to the possibility that toxic or harmful gases may be evolved during the conduc
16、t of this test. 1 Scope This part of ISO 10294 specifies the test requirements related to thermal release mechanisms used in fire dampers tested in accordance with ISO 10294-1. Only the thermal release mechanism is subjected to the tests described. The test methods are designed to ensure that under
17、fire conditions the thermal release mechanism complies with the expected functions so that the damper will close completely so as to prevent the spread of fire. This part of ISO 10294 also includes a method for ensuring that the thermal release mechanism does not close the damper in non-fire conditi
18、ons. The effect of corrosion on the operational reliability of the release mechanism is also evaluated. This method is only applicable to thermal release mechanisms installed within the damper or duct. It does not cover thermal release mechanisms that are located outside the ventilation duct. The te
19、st can provide information on comparative performance between one thermal release mechanism and another and thus provides for the testing of thermal release mechanisms that have not been included in the damper assembly that was tested in accordance with ISO 10294-1. The method specified in this part
20、 of ISO 10294 will determine whether the thermal activation system for the closing device of a fire damper system is suitable for a fire damper assembly to be tested according to ISO 10294-1, is suitable for a fire damper already qualified according to ISO 10294-1 with an alternative system of the s
21、ame class (temperature-load), is capable of maintaining its performance after the reliability tests.ISO 10294-4:2001(E) 2 ISO 2001 All rights reserved 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part

24、43:2000, Fire safety Vocabulary. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this part of ISO 10294, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 13943 and the following apply. 3.1 fire dampers mobile closure within a duct which is operated automatically or manually and is designed to prevent the pass
25、age of fire 3.2 thermal release mechanisms system which evaluates the parameters of temperature in the airflow of the ventilation duct and initiates the closing of the fire damper before a predicted threshold limit is reached NOTE The sensing element may be, for example, a fusible link, memory metal
26、, frangible bulb or electrical sensor. 3.3 threshold limit temperature before which the thermal release mechanism must have operated 4 Requirements 4.1 Thermal release The thermal release mechanism is installed in the centreline of the cross section of the test duct, which is part of the test arrang
27、ement according to Figure 1 or Figure 2. The test arrangement shall include a heating arrangement that can expose the thermal release mechanism to the conditions specified in 4.2, also a fan and velocity measuring equipment. A suitable method of controlling the air temperature and velocity shall be
28、provided. The position in which the thermal release mechanism is installed shall be chosen such that the airflow conditions near the heat-sensitive element are in accordance with the practical conditions. If the test specimens are not absolutely symmetrical, the test of response behaviour described
29、in 4.2 and the test of faulty set-off described in 4.3 shall be performed in both possible directions of airflow.ISO 10294-4:2001(E) ISO 2001 All rights reserved 3 4.2 Response behaviour Starting at an initial temperature of (25 2) C, the specimen shall be exposed to an increasing air temperature su
30、ch that it follows the relationship (see Figure 3): T =(25+20 t)2 where T is the temperature, in degrees Celsius; t is the time from the start of the test period, in minutes. The response threshold of the thermal release mechanism shall not exceed an 80 C rise above the starting temperature. A 25 C
31、initial temperature and 80 C maximum temperature rise means that the maximum temperature of activation (threshold limit) will be 105 C. This means that the thermal release mechanism shall operate within 4 min. This test may be applied to other operating temperatures and guidance is given annex B. Th
32、e mean air velocity at the start of this test shall be (1 0,1) m/s. The test shall be performed three times for each orientation and location of the thermal release mechanism. The thermal release mechanism shall operate before the threshold limit is exceeded on each of the samples tested. 4.3 Faulty
33、 set-off For 1 h the specimen shall be exposed to an air temperature of (60 2) C. The thermal release mechanism shall be under the same loading as would be applied under normal service conditions. The mean airflow velocity (mass flow) for this test shall be (1 0,1) m/s. The test shall be performed o
34、nce for each orientation and location of the thermal release mechanism. The thermal release mechanism shall not release in any of the samples tested. Where other operating temperatures are to be used, a different limit for temperature shall be selected. Guidance is given in annex B. 5 Test apparatus
35、 The recommended types of devices with opened and closed airflow are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Larger and smaller cross sections may be used provided the requirements for the air temperature and the airflow velocity are met.ISO 10294-4:2001(E) 4 ISO 2001 All rights reserved Key 1 Baffles for a
