The emergency power control unit GEZE THZ Comfort

Added security with the new complete RWA solution for staircases

(PresseBox) (Leonberg, )
Smoke and heat extraction systems (RWA) save lives, as they keep emergency escape and rescue routes clear of smoke in the event of fire. After automatic triggering, for example by a smoke detector, they efficiently remove smoke from the building. Doors serve as fresh and exhaust air openings in a building's lower levels, and doors and windows in its upper levels.

Smoke and heat extraction and natural ventilation all in one

Co-ordinated control and actuation of all fresh and exhaust air openings fitted with electric motor drives is made possible by RWA emergency power control units. With RWA, GEZE offers added safety in places where building regulations only require smoke extractors to be installed, such as in the staircases of multiple-occupancy buildings. For reliable smoke extraction in staircase, GEZE offers the THZ emergency power control unit. As a welcome natural side-effect, it can also be used for day-to-day ventilation.

Small and smart - also suitable for narrow staircases

The THZ now has the "Comfort? version added to the range. Attractive and with extremely small dimensions, its space-saving design can be installed within the field of vision even where there is little room in narrow staircases. A particular benefit of the new integrated smoke and heat extraction and ventilation buttons is that they no longer need to be cabled separately. In the event of fire, the smoke and heat extraction button (RWA) can be used to manually trigger the alarm. The ventilation button can also be used to control the natural ventilation function. Both buttons are backlit and thus easier to see and use. In the event of fire, the illumination increases the level of safety. The THZ Comfort enables the connection of a complete smoke removal solution. With a high output current of 3.4 Ampere, it is very powerful and offers greater flexibility in the selection of window drives.

To match every fire protection concept

The central unit is made up of a solid, tough metal housing and is thus ideal for use in staircase areas with public access. Eight smoke and heat extraction buttons (RWA) and ten smoke detectors can be connected to each to provide safety for a large surveillance area. Individual adaptation to on-site conditions is easily possible. Adjustable reactions in case of a power failure such as "Open?, "Shut?, "No response? and the functional reliability of smoke extraction for 72 hours assured by a rechargeable battery make an individual adjustment of the THZ Comfort to the fire protection concept of a building possible. With three floating alarm contacts "Alarm", "Malfunction" and "Windows open?, reporting of the window status is possible regardless of location. A building manager can then react at once in case of a malfunction. Onward transmission of the signal is also possible, e.g. to the building control engineering or to the fire brigade. Wind/rain alarms can be connected directly to the THZ Comfort over a cable length of up to 30 metres. This permits windows to be reliably shut when it is raining or there is a strong wind, and this saves costs in planning.

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.
