The Souchier CERTILUX-T: Not Your Typical Smoke Ventilator

The Souchier CERTILUX-T: Not Your Typical Smoke Ventilator

Most smoke ventilators in the market can handle day-to-day air circulation needs, providing thermal and humidity control to building occupants. 

‍

However, the Souchier CERTILUX-T offers so much more than what’s standard. 

‍

The CERTILUX-T is a complete louver-type NSHEV (Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilator) that plays a crucial role in smoke extraction during emergencies. Made by French company Souchier, this advanced smoke ventilator is engineered to optimize airflow, safety, and energy efficiency in any commercial, industrial, or residential setting with ease.

‍

Top Quality

Reliability is first and foremost with this product, easily passing the most stringent European standards NF EN 12101-2 (EU) and NFS 61 937-1 (France). 

‍

The CERTILUX-T smoke ventilator is:

• equipped with advanced temperature and humidity control capabilities, ensuring precise environmental management
• resistant to external factors like snow and ice loads (certified against SL250 and SL500) and rated to withstand impacts up to 1200 J
• aerodynamic even with intense turbulence (Re 1,000 and Re 10,000, Cv from 0.67 with upstand and 0.62 without upstand)
• thermal efficient: Ug: of 2.5 to 3.6 W m²/°K for multiwall (honeycomb) polycarbonate, and from 6 to 10 mm for glass
• corrosion resistant with its anodized finish
• effortless to maintain with its easy-access design
• compatible with Building Management Systems (BMS) controls for remote operation and real-time adjustments.

Rigorous testing has proven CERTILUX-T’s structural integrity and functionality despite significant challenges.

Standout Feature

One highlight of the CERTILUX-T is its translucent pivoting blades. Not only does it allow for smoke ventilation and circulation, but it provides natural lighting inside the building. That’s additional cost savings off the bat.

‍

The durability of these blades is not something to overlook, either. These are made of impact-resistant polycarbonate and are UV-stabilized to avoid yellowing and dimming over time. 

‍

Highly Customizable

The Certilux T excels with its extruded aluminum frame profiles, allowing a good fit for various architectural requirements. It can be installed on all roof types including glass roofs and sheds.

‍

Choices for blade material include clear or opalescent polycarbonate and glazed glass. Laminated glass is available upon request. 

‍

Controls can be electrical, pneumatic, or mechanical with safety o/c switch.

‍

Upstands can be made with insulated bituminous polyurethane to match multi-layered roofs or insulated acoustic if external noise reduction is required.

‍

Aside from the specific compulsory temperature for each industry, thermal release triggers for the CERTILUX-T can be set at 70, 100, 140, or 180°C.

‍

Seamless Aesthetic Integration

Although each roof type poses unique installation challenges, the CERTILUX-T can be integrated seamlessly even on C, F, G, or J styles. Color and finish are also non-issues since the ventilator can match any RAL, lacquered, or anodized aluminum finish.

‍

The CERTILUX-T is already in use at the Government Data Centre at King Lam Street, Cheung Sha Wan, and the AIA Urban Campus at No.1 Stubbs Road.
