Summary

Minimum depth of a draft curtain: at least 0.2 times the height from the fire base to the ceiling, twice the depth of the ceiling jet. Based on Cooper (2002b), pp. 3-229 and 3-234.

Original vector illustration for Fire curtain, level 2 Intermediate.

  • Source basis: Cooper (2002b), p. 3-234 (ceiling jet depth of the order of 0.1 (zCEIL − zFIRE); recommended minimum curtain depth 0.2 (zCEIL − zFIRE)) and p. 3-229 (flow under draft curtains once the layer interface drops below the curtain); Figure 3-9.1 on p. 3-219 as a layout idea, redraw, do not copy
  • Alt text: Section under a roof: fire plume, thin ceiling jet, and a draft curtain at least one fifth of the fire-to-ceiling height deep.
