About Alfred Eichelberger
Alfred Eichelberger GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed family business that has been producing fans and air-handling products in Berlin Neukölln since 1931. The portfolio includes plant construction for ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration technology (HVAC), smoke protection pressurization systems (RDA) for keeping escape and rescue routes free of smoke, as well as measurement, control and regulation technology (MSR) including in-house control cabinet manufacturing. Manufactured products include smoke protection supply air units (RDV, RDS, RDA2, RDS-L90), pressure control units with automatically acting pressure control dampers, over- and outflow units, and switchgear combinations with DBA controls up to safety PLCs with SIL certification. The housings are predominantly made of galvanized sheet steel with non-combustible mineral wool insulation, hoods made of aluminum and, for fire-resistant versions, calcium silicate. The offering also includes planning and project engineering, special constructions, installation, commissioning, maintenance, servicing and plant refurbishment. Reference projects include Berlin Central Station, completed in 2006, and the new Berlin city center.

Quality and Suitability Evidence
The reliability of the pressure control dampers and units has been demonstrated through functional testing, durability testing with 10,000 cycles and vibration testing at the Material Testing Institute for Civil Engineering Braunschweig (MPA BS). The function retention of the RDS-L90 was certified over 90 minutes by means of a fire test conducted by a publicly appointed and sworn expert.
