Never before has a Fire Damper offered so much flexibility!

Lorient LVH Series Intumescent Fire Dampers

IFD’s are designed to seal penetrations provided for movement of air via ducted or naturally ventilated means.
Lorient’s LVH series of IFD’s have no moving parts providing a reliability unmatched by conventional mechanical type fire dampers.
The operation of the Lorient LVH series IFDs is by heat activation of the intumescent material.
The intumescent swells many times its original thickness to form a solid barrier to fire.
This mode of operation means that the Lorient LVH series intumescent fire dampers are bi-directional and cannot rust open.
In addition they are not affected by building movement or thermal expansion if built or cast into the opening.

Lorient Technical Support

Lorient provides free technical support for the design, specification and installation of its Intumescent Fire Damper products and systems.
Contact Lorient (Ph 1300 858 010) to ensure that the most effective and economical solution is specified and installed.

Standards & Codes

Relevant standards and codes relating to Fire Damper performance, Fire Resistance, installation and maintenance include:

• AS 1668.1 Design
• AS 1530.4 Fire test methodology
• AS 1682.1 Air leakage testing / design
• AS 1682.2 Installation
• AS 1851.6 Maintenance

Lorient Approvals

Approved installations and applications for Lorient Intumescent products is growing all the time, and includes a number recent approvals such as:

• CSR Hebel Wall Systems
• Pyropanel constructed door systems
• E-Core door assemblies
• Firecore Door assemblies
• CSR Security Wall

Testing is carried out by independent laboratories throughout Australia, New Zealand and other overseas locations.

Lorient Intumescent Mastic

Designed for use in Fire Damper installation plus uses where other intumescent material may be impractical.
When exposed to fire, Lorient Mastic swells to many times its original volume while maintaining adhesion to all common construction materials.
Water based for easy clean up, and offering smooth gunnability, Lorient Mastic is Flexible, Paintable and has acoustic properties.
Lorient Approvals specify the use of ONLY Lorient Intumescent Mastic

Regulatory Requirements

To comply with the Building Code of Australia and referenced standard AS 1668.1. Lorient LVH Series IFD’s are fully fire tested in accordance with AS 1530.4 and the air leakage test detailed in AS 1682.1.
Comprehensive approvals provide users with confidence to specify Lorient intumescent fire dampers for both “Deemed to Satisfy” and “performance based alternative solutions”.

FRL (Fire Resistance Level)

FRL refers to the time in minutes as determined in accordance with the AS 1530.4 laboratory Test methods for:

• Structural Adequacy – The ability to maintain both stability and load bearing capacity.
Fire dampers have no requirement for this criterion.
• Integrity – The ability to prevent the passage of flame and hot gases as specified in AS 1530.4.
• Insulation – The ability to maintain a surface temperature below that specified in AS 1530.4.

FRL is expressed in order of: Structural Adequacy / Integrity / Insulation

Generally, Fire Dampers require an FRL for Integrity only.
Thus a Fire Damper may have a Fire Resistance Level of ' FRL - / 120 / - ' giving a 2 hour Fire Rating.

Note that where a dash appears – there is no requirement for that criterion.
