What Is a Smoke Duct?

A smoke duct is a component of a building’s ventilation system designed to channel fumes out of a confined space. An efficient smoke ventilation system will manage and direct the movement of fumes from its source to a safer, less populated location. Smoke ventilation can be traced back to ancient times when the earliest forms of ventilation were designed to move exhaust and fumes away from a confined space. However, there weren’t any significant advancements until the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. During that time, increased production and manufacturing led to the creation of complex fume control and ventilation systems to prevent catastrophic accumulation of fumes in factories. Fast forward to today; smoke ducting and extraction have become staples in safety regulations during residential and commercial property construction and industrial applications worldwide.

What Is the Purpose of an Extraction Fan?

An extraction fan is designed to draw in contaminated or smog-filled air from within a building and transfer it outside through a building’s ductwork. While there are many excellent exhaust and fume ducting options, if you do not utilize a smoke extraction fan, any generated fumes will linger in your flexible ducting and leave a strong and lasting smell. When the exhaust is being ventilated through your ducting, the materials in your ducts can absorb the fume particles and odors and leave stains at the most dense and concentrated point in your ducting. Without a proper smoke extraction fan to continually channel and push out fumes from one end of the duct to another, you potentially risk dirtying your smoke ducts and possibly having the odor penetrate the ventilation system. If exhaust penetrates your ventilation system, then the fumes will coat the coils with residue and eventually ventilate a pungent coating and smell throughout your ductwork and the entire building. To prevent such a scenario, many commercial businesses, such as restaurants, utilize smoke extraction fans to avoid these problems because if the ventilation system breaks down due to improper ventilation, it can create an unsafe working environment.

Is Extraction Better Than Recirculation?

Extraction and recirculation are different approaches to handling air quality, and when it comes to figuring out which is a better and safer method to ventilate exhaust, smoke extraction is undoubtedly the safer and more practical option out of the two. The main issue with recirculation is that the collected fumes need to be filtered and returned to the same space, and depending on the fume’s density, this could prove to be a difficult and costly task. Compared to extracting fumes, the process would require a mechanical smoke and heat exhaust system, which would draw the fumes into several vents and eventually funnel them directly outside the building through some durable and reliable flexible ducting. At the same time, a comparable amount of fresh air is fed in through the backflow opening, giving the building a new source of airflow. No matter what kind of ducting you are installing for your commercial or industrial application, you must implement a smoke extraction system to not only lower overall utility and energy costs but also to ensure the health and wellness of everyone working in the building.
