High Temperature Fans

Inbuild UK’s High Temperature Fans are engineered to deliver consistent airflow in environments exposed to elevated temperatures, particularly during fire and smoke events. These fans are commonly used in smoke control systems, pressurisation systems, commercial kitchens, and industrial ventilation applications. 

Manufactured using heat-resistant components and robust construction, high temperature fans are tested to operate at extreme temperatures for defined durations, ensuring continued performance when standard ventilation equipment would fail. They are suitable for use with smoke ventilation controls, fan actuators, and fire alarm interfaces, allowing automatic activation during emergency scenarios. 

Key product features include: 

• Designed for high-temperature operation 
• Suitable for smoke extraction and fire safety systems 
• Robust, heat-resistant construction 
• High-performance airflow capacity 
• Compatible with ventilation and smoke control panels 
• Tested for continuous and emergency duty 
• Available in multiple sizes and configurations 
• Supports regulatory and life safety compliance 

Inbuild UK’s High Temperature Fans provide dependable airflow when it is most critical, supporting occupant safety and building protection. 

Standard fans fail in heat-intensive environments, whereas high-temperature fans use heat-resistant materials and are certified for elevated operating conditions.

Yes. They support compliance with Part F (ventilation) and Part L (efficiency). In smoke control applications, they must also meet Approved Document B and BS EN 12101-3.

See technical bulletin for more relevant standards.

Fans above 125 W must comply with UK Ecodesign regulations for efficiency and carry UKCA marking.

Yes. ATEX-certified models in line with BS EN 14986 are available for explosive or dust-prone environments such as chemical plants and flour mills.

Installations must meet BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), and electrical components should carry UKCA/CE marking. Other standards may apply.

See technical Bulletin for lists of standards that apply to fans.

Some models are suitable for outdoor use, but always confirm manufacturer specifications for weather resistance.

Yes. Certified high-temperature fans can be used in smoke and heat exhaust systems,
compliant with BS EN 12101-3.

You should obtain performance data, airflow/pressure curves, certification documents (UKCA, Ecodesign, ATEX if relevant), and O&M manuals.

At least annually, with more frequent checks in extreme environments. Bearings, blades, and housings should be inspected for heat damage or wear.

Some systems require more frequent maintenance depending upon their particular use.

See technical bulletin for more info on standards that may apply but consultation with building control is essential when dealing with high-risk buildings.

They are widely used in manufacturing, power generation, chemical processing, foundries, and any environment with high heat loads.

Inbuild UK supplies a full range of high-temperature fans designed for compliance with UK regulations and standards. Our products combine durability, efficiency, and certification to provide reliable solutions for demanding thermal environments.
