Phoenix Contact provides reliable automation solutions for the energy-efficient and cost-effective operation of your tunnel ventilation system. Traffic conditions in automobile tunnels mean it is crucial to continuously monitor the oxygen supply, visibility, and the concentration of pollutants in the tunnel. Ventilation systems work closely with traffic control systems to maintain the air quality in regular operation. It is particularly important to ensure ventilation remains available in the event of a fire, so that rescue operations can be conducted.
Removing smoke and heat in the event of a fire:
In order to conduct rescue operations, appropriate ventilation control is used to manage smoke and heat in the tunnel tube. The ventilation runs in extraction or injection mode, depending on the specific fire scenario. Smoke and heat must be kept away from the rescue service personnel and the other road users remaining in the tunnel. The way in which ventilation is controlled in the event of a fire depends in large part on the source of the fire being pinpointed within the tunnel tube. Excess pressure is generated to prevent smoke from entering the evacuation shaft.
Integrated sensors:
Phoenix Contact enables you to connect your sensors in tunnels quickly and easily. Make the most of efficient engineering, thanks to preprogrammed software function blocks.
Increased efficiency:
Ventilation systems are one of the biggest consumers of power in tunnels for motor vehicles. It is therefore important that fan drives start up and operate in a way that is energy-efficient. Integrating the drives into the tunnel control system enables any anomalies to be identified at an early stage. Benefit from increased efficiency, thanks to continuous monitoring and status-based maintenance.
Reliable availability:
Ventilation devices are a key element of tunnel safety. Fresh air is brought in to ensure pre-defined levels of carbon monoxide and diesel emissions are complied with in the event of a fire. The controller has a redundant configuration to prevent the ventilation system from failing. Phoenix Contact provides tailored solutions for safeguarding the availability and the redundant design of the ventilation system.
Your Advantages:
- Quick and easy connection of your sensors via pre-programmed software and app solutions
- Reduced costs, thanks to low programming efforts
- Failsafe ventilation, thanks to redundant Controllers
