What is an Automatic Opening Ventilation (AOV) System?
An Automatic Opening Ventilation (AOV) system is a device that extracts smoke from a building. They are most commonly used in high rise buildings, such as flats and accommodation or office blocks.
It is a requirement for buildings to have smoke ventilation to help people escape from a building in an emergency, such as a fire.
How does an Automatic Opening Ventilation System work?
When a fire is detected, the Automatic Opening Vent will open. AOVs take in smoke and heat and discard it in a safe area.
