A Colt smoke control impulse ventilation system has been installed at the new Emirates Stadium,
constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd for Arsenal Football Club, in north London. Colt also supplied
plant room louvres in a contract worth £ 1.2 million in total.
The Colt impulse system consists of 59 Jetstream fans, four 1800mm extract fans, and all their
associated carbon dioxide, smoke and heat detectors and controls. The fans are mounted under the
ceiling around the car park, to move air and smoke towards each extraction point, avoiding the
need for the extensive ductwork that would be required for a traditional system.
The benefits of the system include a more open environment, better CCTV coverage and lower initial
and running costs. In the interests of maximum efficiency, with the reversible impulse fans linked
to a wind direction sensor, the system can move the airflow around the car park in either a
clockwise or anti-clockwise direction depending on the wind direction.
