Fire Alarm Systems – Warehouses
A warehouse is a large building that stores raw materials and manufactured goods ready to be distributed for sales. Warehouse buildings tend to differ in size; however, most are very large and contain multiple stories. Warehouses are used by wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, importers and manufacturers and are typically located throughout villages, towns and cities.
Linear Heat Detection for Transformers
A transformer is a component that reduces or increases the voltage of an alternating current. While they are very widely used in a wide range of environments such as offices, homes and factories, large scale transformers are also used in power stations to aid production and distribution of high voltage electricity by reducing energy losses during transmission.
The Dangers of Smoke Inhalation
Many fire related deaths are caused by smoke inhalation. Smoke has many catastrophic effects on the body and can affect it in a number of ways such as pulmonary irritation, thermal damage and toxic poisoning.
Linear Heat Detection for Low Temperature Environments
Low temperature environments are areas that contain a low ambient temperature such as frozen food processing plants, cryogenic gas processing plants, cold storage freezer warehouses or external areas in extremely cold climates. When implementing a fire detection system in a low temperature environment, installation is similar to normal, however, certain precautionary measures are needed to ensure trouble free installation and operation.
Fire Alarm Systems – Town Halls
A town hall is a large, historical building, typically located in a city’s town centre. Town halls can be used to hold conferences and events such as weddings, parties and festivals. Birmingham’s town hall, for example, holds a monumental town hall pipe organ that is 70 feet high and contains the largest metal pipe in the UK and attracts many visitors from around the world.
