The Advantages of and Suitable Applications for OSID
Some environments present unique challenges when it comes to reliable fire detection; high airflows, reflections, vibrations, building movement, steam, fog, dust and other obstructions all make reliable detection difficult. Xtralis OSID detectors are uniquely designed to overcome such barriers enabling early and reliable response to the presence of smoke. OSID detectors use dual wave-length beam […]
Car Park Linear Heat Detection – Handpicked Solutions by Eurofyre
Multi-storey and underground car parks are widely used to provide sufficient parking where space may be limited. By taking a multi-storey approach, multiple cars and other vehicles can be parked on a smaller, more conveniently located plot of land. Car parks like these are often used by thousands of people every day and are integral […]
Linear Heat Detection for Animal Housing Facilities
The term “animal housing facility” refers to any housing facility where animals are kept for any purpose, including barns, stables, kennels, animal shelters, veterinary facilities, zoos, laboratories and racetracks. The welfare of the animals kept in the facilities is important and, as such, a suitable fire alarm must be present to protect them from fire. […]
Hybrid Fire Detection for Modular Buildings
Modular buildings are prefabricated buildings that consist of repeated sections known as modules. “Modular” is a construction method that involves building sections away from the building site and then delivering them to where they are to be installed. Modular buildings can be used for long-term, temporary or permanent facilities such as construction camps, civilian and […]
Using VESDA in Areas Outside of its Operating Temperature Range
VESDA aspirating smoke detectors are used in a wide range of industrial applications; some of which are extremely challenging environments. On occasion, these applications require detectors to be installed in areas that are close to or outside the operating temperature range of the detector. These situations mean that designers often reject VESDA as an option […]
