Linear Heat Detection for Grain Silos
A silo is a structure for holding bulk materials. In agriculture, silos are used to store grain or fermented feed known as silage. There are many types of silo used for a variety of storage tasks. These vary from tall “tower” silos to horizontal silos and can be made from many different materials including wood, concrete and steel.
Wireless Linear Heat Detection Integration for Warehouse Racking
Like most business premises, warehouses require a reliable fire detection system to keep staff, personnel, visitors, equipment and produce safe from fire. In order to achieve this, a variety of detection types are required to suit the unique needs of each area. In particular, warehouse racking can create a number of challenges that require very specific fire detection to overcome.
How to Install VESDA into Dirty Environments
Many industrial applications are considered to be a “dirty environment”. Dirty environments can contain high levels of airborne dust, steam, heat and other vapour discharges which can all make fire detection difficult. There are many applications that are considered to be dirty environments, some of which include: Power plants Rendering plants Tanneries Processing/production plants Garbage […]
Using Messenger Wire with Linear Heat Detection
Messenger wire is a secondary, steel wire used to add rigidity to cable. It does not carry any signal but is used to add strength to the cable to prevent sagging when running through the air or to make it easier to fish over long distances in commercial installations. In effect, messenger wire provides a backbone so that the cable carrying the signal is not under any strain.
Hybrid Fire Detection for Storage Facilities
Self-storage facilities rent out space, usually on a short-term basis, to individuals that need some extra space to store furniture, household items or anything they don’t have the space to store elsewhere. Businesses also often use self-storage facilities to store other items such as stock, inventory or archived records. The hired space can be a simple locker, a container or small to large rooms.
