Enclosure Integrity
Certification Course
Date: 13th & 14th April 2015
Venue: Energy Conservation Australia Head Office - Melbourne
Enclosure Integrity Certification
- Course Overview
LEVEL 1 – INTRODUCTION TO
ENCLOSURE FUNDAMENTALS
Level 1 is targeted at witnessing authorities, designers, and
consultants. Learn about post-discharge behavior of different
agents types (Halocarbon and Inert gases), hold time of agent,
and peak pressure theory. Understand circumstances when it
is acceptable to specify a longer or shorter hold time. Optimize
enclosure designs for peak pressure, hold time, and pressure
relief vents. Also, there is a section for witnessing authorities
to help AHJs understand what to look for during an Enclosure
Integrity Test. Modules include:
• Introduction to clean agent suppression systems
• Research and experiments relating to peak pressures at discharge
• Peak pressures theory
• Hold time theory and recent experiments
• Designing enclosures for hold time requirements
• Testing enclosures for hold time requirements
• Optimizing enclosures for hold time and peak pressure
• Witnessing an enclosure integrity test
LEVEL 3 – ADVANCED ENCLOSURE
INTEGRITY TESTING AND
EVALUATION
Level 3 is targeted at testers who are comfortable with performing
a basic test and need to be able to do larger and more complex
tests. Technicians will learn how to determine the lower leakage
fraction F, by doing leakage neutralization tests. This course will
cover more of the theory behind the test concepts and give the
technicians a deeper understanding of what they are measuring
and why. Also, more advanced tests on attached volumes and
subfloors will be covered in detail. Modules include:
• Advantages of measuring lower leaks
• Measuring lower leakage with a flex duct
• Measuring lower leakage with plastic on the ceiling
• ISO 14520 method for estimating F
• Subfloor testing
• Multi-fan testing
• Extended discharge systems
• Attached volume testing
LEVEL 2 – BASIC ENCLOSURE
INTEGRITY TESTING AND PEAK
PRESSURE ANALYSIS
Level 2 is targeted at testers. This course will teach technicians
about door fan test equipment, including basic theory and
operation, and give them the foundation to run a single fan
Enclosure Integrity Test in accordance with NFPA 2001, ISO
14520, or EN 15004. Technicians will become familiar with the
enclosure test form (a step by step guide for conducting a test),
and how to use Retrotec’s FanTestic Integrity software. Learn
about the differences in test procedures between NFPA and ISO
standards. Also, learn about peak pressure evaluation and how
to measure free vent area. Modules include:
• Using smoke to locate air leakage
• Pressure gauge training
• Door fan equipment training
• Conducting a total enclosure leakage test
• Peak pressure and free vent area evaluation
• Analyzing results with software
• Troubleshooting
• Leak location in failed rooms
