VESDA is a very early warning smoke detection system from Xtralis. It provides continuous air sampling that can detect a fire at the very early stages thus providing valuable time to investigate the warning and initiate appropriate action. VESDA detectors can provide warnings on multiple levels and have a wide sensitivity range that does not degrade.

Aircraft or spacecraft are often stored in hangars to protect them from the elements and create a safe and suitable environment for routine maintenance. Aircraft hangars can contain hundreds of thousands of pounds, or even millions of pounds worth of equipment, which means that the consequences of a fire could be financially devastating. Not only could a fire cause costly damage to an aircraft but loss of revenue due to a working aircraft being taken out of service could be significant.

Aspirating smoke detection provides very early warning smoke detection for a range of applications. Based around a central detection unit an aspirating smoke detection system actively draws air through a network of pipes into a detection chamber. The air is then analysed for the presence of smoke.

The challenges we face in protecting our businesses from fire are becoming increasingly more difficult to combat. In particular, areas with high ceilings, high air flow or outdoor zones introduce a number of factors that make conventional smoke detection systems unable to provide a suitable solution.

Wind turbines are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy. They play a valuable role in strategies established by numerous countries to reduce their dependency on non- renewable fossil fuels. In today’s ever developing world wind turbines are used for an array of applications such as providing power for charging batteries for boats and caravans, to larger scale applications providing domestic energy and contributing unused power back to the electrical grid. Collections of larger turbines, known as wind farms, also widely contribute to larger applications.
