How to Install VESDA into Wet or Condensing Environments
A wet or condensing environment is simply any location in which there is a presence of water or moisture. These areas may include:
How to Install VESDA into Dirty Environments
Many industrial applications are considered to be a “dirty environment”. 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 […]
VESDA Aspirating Smoke Detection for Dusty Environments
There are many types of facilities that create dust in their day-to-day activities. Processes such as; cutting; sieving and screening; crushing and grading; weighing loose powders; stockpiling large volumes of processed materials; milling, grinding or sanding; and maintenance work are just a few dust generating jobs that make providing reliable fire detection difficult.
How to Install VESDA into High EMI/RFI Applications
Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also known as radio-frequency interference (RFI), is a disturbance created by an external force that affects an electrical circuit by electromagnetic induction, electrostatic coupling or conduction. This disturbance may degrade the performance of an electrical circuit or stop it from performing altogether.
VESDA for Industrial Applications
Many industrial applications have many fire detection challenges including dust, dirt, water, corrosive chemicals, extreme low temperatures, high electromagnetic interference or vibration, or hazardous locations.
