AOV Systems

What Are AOV Systems?

Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) systems play a critical role in maintaining fire safety and ventilation in buildings. At AGO Fire And Security, we specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining advanced AOV systems that enhance safety and compliance while ensuring seamless operation.

What is an AOV System?

An AOV system is a fire safety solution designed to control the spread of smoke and heat in the event of a fire. These systems automatically open vents, windows, or rooflights to allow smoke and hot gases to escape, making evacuation safer and aiding firefighting efforts.

  • How It Works:
    When triggered by smoke detectors or a fire alarm, the AOV system activates, opening designated vents or windows to create a clear path for smoke to exit the building. This helps to maintain a safe environment for occupants and reduces property damage.
  • Key Features:
    • Integration with fire alarm systems for automatic activation.
    • Manual override functionality for emergency personnel.
    • Customizable configurations to suit building layouts and ventilation needs.

Benefits of AOV Systems

  1. Improved Evacuation Safety:
    By reducing smoke buildup, AOV systems ensure clearer escape routes for building occupants.
  2. Enhanced Firefighting Efficiency:
    Venting smoke and heat makes it easier for firefighters to locate and tackle the source of the fire.
  3. Compliance with Regulations:
    AOV systems help your building meet fire safety regulations and standards, including Building Regulations and Approved Document B.
  4. Dual Purpose:
    Many AOV systems also provide day-to-day natural ventilation, improving indoor air quality and comfort.
  5. Versatility:
    Suitable for a wide range of properties, including commercial buildings, residential apartments, warehouses, and public spaces.
