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 […]
Hybrid Fire Detection for Garages
A garage is a walled, roofed structure that is traditionally used for storing vehicles.
