Hi All,
I wanted to ask if you needed to put vents into a small air conditioned room to allow airflow.
There is a small server room that has 1-2 portable air cons keeping the temperature well. They are exhausted through window and wall.
It was suggested by electrical contractors undertaking other work that I should fit a vent in the fire door to allow the air to be sucked into the room.
Is this true? There is a substantial gap at the bottom of the door now and you can feel air being pulled.
They said to put a vent in a door which is marked a fire door with a sticker but is a room that does not form a fire walkway.
Do I:
a) Install a vent at all?
b) Can I do this in a door marked as fire door with sticker (could be over enthusiastic sticker person - however it does have servers in for small business).
c) Must I use special vent rather than a simple plastic grill from B&Q as some people are talking about something which sounds self sealing upon gases or something.
Many thanks in advance
