ISO 21927-4:2019 Smoke and heat control systems – Part 4: Natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators一Design, requirements and installation.
This document applies to the design and installation of natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (NSHEVs) for spaces from which smoke is extracted vertically by thermal buoyancy via the roof in the case of single-storey buildings and via the uppermost storey in the case of multi-storey buildings. It also applies to spaces in which NSHEVs are installed in external walls.
This document includes tables and calculation methods for the design of clear layers in order to comply with the requirements of various protection objectives.
This document includes information and provisions to be taken into account when applying the design rules set out herein and when installing NSHEVs.

3.1
aerodynamic free area
measure of smoke and heat exhaust area of the ventilator
Note 1 to entry: It is the geometric area multiplied by the coefficient of discharge.
3.2
automatic activation
initiation of operation without direct human intervention
3.3
coefficient of discharge aerodynamic efficiency cv
ratio of actual flow rate, measured under specified conditions, to the theoretical flow rate through the ventilator
Note 1 to entry: The coefficient takes into account any obstructions in the ventilator, such as controls, louvres and vanes, and the effect of external side winds.
3.4
exhaust ventilator
device for the movement of gases out of the construction works
3.5
initiation device
device that activates the operating mechanism of the component, e.g. of a damper or a ventilator, on receipt of information from a fire detection system or thermal device.ISO 21927-4 pdf download.
