Individual skylight systems for smoke extraction and natural ventilation

Skylight systems from D+H combine smoke extraction options that operate on natural principles with the convenience of intelligent ventilation. The skylight systems consume a minimal amount of current, enabling extremely cost-effective ventilation. With D+H you benefit from a wide range of flexible installation options for various skylight systems, whether as a 24 V or a 230 V system.

• Lower investment costs thanks to 230 V system

• Optimum aerodynamic smoke extraction with rapid opening to 172°

• Optimal power transmission, resulting in minimal strain and long service life of the fan frame and hinges

• High-level protection of the drive unit, so it can be used almost anywhere

• Quick installation and easy handling thanks to modules pre-installed at the factory

• Replacement for pneumatic systems in building renovations

• Highly flexible system, ideal for renovation projects

Powerful system with ingenious additional functions: SDS 3 – the flexible professional skylight system.

Even the basic equipment version of the SDS 3 drive and hardware solution offers impressive flexibility and high performance. Intelligent, easy-to-configure additional functions make the SDS 3 Series the ideal drive system for any rooflight, such as skylights or continuous rooflights. Existing SDS 3 systems can be upgraded using individual system components at any time. This saves valuable storage space for any skylight manufacturer. SDS 3 Series systems open and close even the heaviest skylights reliably, with a clear opening width of up to 2 m.

The Flex system, part of the SDS 3 basic equipment, turns even the entry model into the perfect drive for clear opening widths of 0.8 m to 1.2 m. With an installation height of less than 30 cm, the SDS 3 system can also fit in extra-flat skylight fixtures. A maximum opening angle of up to 170° can be achieved for ventilation and smoke extraction applications. This innovative rooflight drive solution features the open sky view design, enabling a clear view of the sky.

Provides maximum performance where it is needed: the SDS 2 skylight system.

The high-performance drive from the DXD Series is designed specifically for heavy-duty applications in combination with smoke extraction and ventilation for skylight systems. In addition to the drive unit, the skylight drive system (SDS) also includes a suitable installation set for various skylight providers. The drive unit is well protected, enabling it to be used even under difficult ambient conditions, such as moisture and dirt.

A high-speed function in the rack and pinion drive enables especially fast opening of the dome in case of fire. In addition, intelligent force, speed and path management provides the system with an intuitive feel for the situation during start-up and shut-down. An attenuated return flow also protects fan frames and hinges.

D+H skylight systems allow you to fulfil the highest requirements for natural smoke extraction in accordance with EN 12101-2 as well as for controlled ventilation. In addition to quick and safe opening in case of fire, you can implement effective ventilation in everyday use. It was used in the renovation of the Graz shopping centre, where a new shopping experience was built on an area of approximately 10 000 m² in late 2015.

An architectural highlight is the 10-metre-high canopy that combines two catering pavilions with the large main hall. Roof openings and skylights from Eberspächer ensure plenty of natural light and fresh air for the rest areas on the curved promenade below, and create a pleasant atmosphere for shopping and strolling.
