Without an NSHEV system

Lives are endangered, rescue work is impaired and property is damaged
With an NSHEV system
Vents and air inlets remove smoke, gas and heat
Smoke is diverted to produce a stable smoke layer boundary

NSHEV Operation
NSHEVs clear escape routes of smoke, and/ or provide smoke-free space for fire-fighting. They can vent directly via external walls / roofs using windows, louvres and rooflights, or through internal smoke shafts via smoke dampers. NSHEVs can be triggered automatically via smoke detection or fire alarm interfaces, or manually using call point units, opening fully within 60 seconds. NSHEV’s can be reset and closed automatically or manually through the control system.
