Linear Heat Detection for Solar Panels
Photovoltaic solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. Solar panels are used in commercial and residential applications to provide a source of carbon-free, renewable energy. The use of solar energy is becoming increasingly popular and solar power systems now range from small residential outfits, that combine a handful of panels […]

How to Install VESDA in High-Temperature Environments
VESDA aspirating smoke detectors can tolerate a wide range of sampled air temperatures between -20°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F). This makes VESDA the ideal smoke detection for a variety of industrial environments. However, some industrial applications, such as industrial ovens, smelters and powder coating plants, require sampling from areas with extreme temperatures, outside of the […]
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 […]
