The GEZE MBZ 300 weather module

Smoke and heat extraction unit controlled by wind direction / Ventilation system with weather sensors

(PresseBox) (Leonberg, )
As the central control unit of a smoke and heat extraction unit, the RWA BUS MBZ 300 central unit coordinates a wide range of ventilation, smoke and heat extraction tasks. It takes on the supply, coordination and monitoring of all connected opening systems and components. The modular design of the MBZ 300 offers planners and architects great flexibility and planning security. It can not only be extended, but can be flexibly matched to a building's future requirements as well. Additional modules for even more user convenience and safety for man and building make this possible. One of these is the new MBZ 300 weather module.

In the event of smoke and heat removal during a fire, the intelligent wind direction sensor of the MBZ 300 weather module control the exhaust and fresh air openings of the building in accordance with the direction of the wind. All opening elements that are able to effectively contribute to the extraction of smoke and heat are thus opened in a targeted manner. Disruptive wind influences are prevented by the closing of appropriate windows or not opening them in the first place. This makes the removal of smoke even more safe and efficient. A significant additional benefit of the weather module is the wind direction dependant control, in particular, of SHEVS (= naturally acting smoke and heat extractors): This enables SHEVs to be used on all vertical facades, not just skylights, and thus expands the design options available.

Additional use for ventilation - protection in heavy weather

When equipped with the MBZ 300 weather module the ventilation as an added value delivered by the RWA BUS control centre MBZ 300 is even more effective: when the wind reaches a certain speed, or if it is raining, the windows are closed, and the room and objects in it cannot get damaged. Thanks to the possibilities of connecting shade drives, blinds are returned to their parking positions and protected in the case of wind and rain. Additionally, shutters and blinds can be controlled in case of emergency so that complex requirements can be fulfilled within a single system supplied by emergency power.

Highly effective - advantages in installation and commissioning

The ventilation controls of an RWA can be set individually with the configuration software. When set wind-speeds are exceeded, windows are shut automatically. A weather module is capable of providing the control information for several ventilation buttons and up to 30 RWA control units. In this way, one module can serve several groups of ventilators and control units. In the same way, one module can serve several groups of ventilators and control units. Even entire groups of SHEVs with wind direction controlled openings can be set up and controlled quickly and conveniently. This means a considerable reduction in the provision of wiring and this saves time and money. The MBZ 300 weather module is simply fitted onto the top-hat rail-mounted housing of the MBZ 300 RWA BUS central control unit and connected up. Thanks to its compact construction, it can be easily integrated into the central unit.

A direct indication of the wind and rain conditions on the weather module is an intelligent feedback and saves time and expense when commissioning. Floating contacts warn of a pending wind or rain signal and make possible simple interfaces to other possibly higher-ranking control units and potential indications.

GEZE - We open doors and set the standards of tomorrow today

The company's pioneering spirit, pursuit of innovation and uncompromising quality have been unbroken since its foundation in 1863. The independent family company develops, produces and sells system solutions for door, window and safety technology. As one of the market, innovation and design leaders, GEZE has achieved world class status. Starting from the company's headquarters in Leonberg in the Stuttgart region, GEZE is represented by 27 subsidiaries and over 2,100 employees throughout the world. In the financial year 2009/2010, a total turnover of approx. 380 million Euros has been achieved.

The door closers from GEZE are uncompromising quality and rank among the best known in the world. The automatic door systems from GEZE open up an almost unlimited range of door design options. State-of-the-art innovative drives in which a high performance capability, safety, comfort and design are the top priority ensure that they are the focus of every entrance area. The glass systems from GEZE with their award-winning fitting solutions are characterised by functionality and great architectural freedom.

The system concept always in view

GEZE safety technology on doors and windows is important for fire prevention in emergency exits, controlled access and protection of the building shell from the outside. Smoke and heat extraction systems from GEZE save lives, as they make it possible to escape from the building quickly and safely in case of fire. The central control and visualisation systems monitor automation components in building technology and provide security and comfort as a result of multi-faceted networking options. For each of these objectives, GEZE offers individual solutions and perfectly harmonizing solution concepts which combine safety requirements in an intelligent system and open and close doors and windows in a coordinated manner in the case of danger.

Innovative products determine the future

One of the issues in window technology that determines the future is energy efficiency. "Intelligent" windows with coordinated drive and control technology from GEZE save energy and also provide comfort and security. Barrier-free door and window systems, e.g. with remote control, take into consideration the needs of the older generations of tomorrow. Control and monitoring systems of the opening conditions of windows - in the case of fire or for everyday ventilation - will be standard in a few years time. GEZE is already equipped for this. A focus on the future also means sustainability. GEZE incorporates economic, ecological and technical sustainability criteria, as well as aspects of the quality of life, even into the development of its products.

GEZE in the buildings of the world

Important buildings throughout the world are fitted with system solutions and products from GEZE, for example the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the New Acropolis Museum in Athens, the Mercedes Benz-Museum in Stuttgart or the opera and concert house Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofía in Valencia to name but a few.
