The IFD Aero allows for virtually unobstructed and guaranteed, trouble-free ventilation every day, while providing total closure in a fire event.
So what’s the difference between the IFD Aero and existing type 44 designs?
For 20 years, Kilargo’s IFDs have provided reliable, high-performance fire protection. By re-focussing on everyday HVAC system critical requirements, we’ve been working behind the scenes to create a breakthrough design that takes everyday benefits and guaranteed fire compliance to new levels.
With less noise, greater levels of system efficiency and based on years of HVAC industry consultation, it’s a smart step forward for quality constructions.
Existing IFD | IFD Aero | |
Turbulence | Turbulent airflow
For type 44 intumescent fire dampers – less aerodynamic profile can result in pressure loss & acoustic concerns. |
Reduced turbulence New stealth blade profile promotes laminar airflow, resulting in lower pressure loss. |
Profile | Old slat profile Heavy profile PVC cased intumescent or foiled slat, metal edged intumescent |
New blade profile Cutting edge slimline aerodynamic blade profile standard across all types.LESS BLADES = MORE AIR! |
Compliance | Complies with older standards Australian Standard:AS1530.4:1990 |
Complies with latest standards Fully tested to comply with Australian standard AS1530.4:2014 |
Materials & Construction | Type 44 IFD’s look industrial
Heavy grey PVC & foil / galvanised steel |
IFD Aero Looks sleek and unobtrusive Satin black design |
Developmental Age of Technology & Materials | 18+ years old circa 1998 |
State-of-the-art circa 2016. Supersedes the older, traditional type 44 intumescent fire dampers |
Design Purpose | Applying a passive fire industry material to the HVAC industry of the 1990’s | Today’s HVAC Industry requirements |
