Heat Detection for Airport Terminal Applications
The airport terminal. A humming centre of travel: excited families going on holiday; business men and women; backpackers; people waiting to greet arrivals or see friends and family off on journeys.
Very Early Warning Smoke Detection for Small Data Rooms
Now more than ever, data rooms are highly critical assets that need to be protected from the risk of fire. In an increasingly data-hungry climate, the load on data rooms is growing; there is more data to be stored than ever before and many organisations depend on sensitive IT infrastructure for the business-critical processes they are expected to perform.
Linear Heat Detection from Eurofyre
Linear Heat Detection can offer early detection of fire or warn of over-heating equipment in a specific area. Linear heat detection uses lengths of sensing cable that work in a similar way to conventional heat detectors, the difference being that they are capable of detecting fire, or excessive heat, at any point along their length. There is no minimum length exposure required to generate an alarm signal and systems can be installed using lengths in excess of 1000m.
Smoke Detection in High Ceiling Applications Using ASD
As a result designers and installers tend to use detection technologies such as beam detection and aspirating smoke detection (ASD) where smoke measurements over an area, rather than from a single location, are determined. Independent tests have shown that ASD has a far higher sensitivity to smoke than point detector technology, resulting in a superior ability to detect smoke that is diluted or distributed as it rises to higher levels.
Using ASD for Coincidence & Redundancy Detection
Commonly known as “double knock”. Coincidence detection relies on alarm signals across two zones or between two detectors to activate before any evacuation/alarm occurs. In this instance, depending on the ASD specification, a detector or each pipe inlet can be used as a zone/address. Look at the table below to see which detectors can be used as a single zone or multiple zones/address.
