Name
AK-Ex
Technical purpose of product or process For low-leakage shut-off of volume flows in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX). For more information see: https://www.trox.de/en/shut-off-devices/ak-ex-759d2e3fcee54fc5. Circular shut-off dampers for shutting off or restricting the airflow in potentially explosive atmospheres, for supply air or extract air, available in 6 nominal sizes. Suitable for duct pressures up to 1500 Pa. Ready-to-install unit consists of the casing with damper blade, and parts for equipotential bonding and for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Spigot with lip seal, for circular connecting ducts according to EN1506 or EN13180. Closed blade air leakage according to EN 1751, class 4 (nominal sizes 125 and 160, class 3). Casing air leakage according to EN 1751, class C. This EPD includes the environmental data of the product series AK-EX. The following represents a representative dataset of the most sold variant in the declared sales year (AK-Ex/250/T0Y).

  • EPDNorge: Construction / Ventilation components
General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Energy, water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
