Eurofyre’s Product of the Month – VESDA-E VEU Aspirating Smoke Detector
The product that we feel deserves its own mention this month is the VESDA-E VEU aspirating smoke detector from Xtralis. The VESDA-E VEU offers short-wavelength, laser-based detection with advanced detection technology equivalent to thousands of sensors, all housed in a stylish, IP 40 rated enclosure.
Design Tools For Aspirating Smoke Detection
There are two main elements to consider when designing an aspirating smoke detection system. The first is the design of the system itself and the second is the operation and function of the ASD system, in the situation of a reporting or response system, that commonly forms part of the overall fire alarm system.
Smoke Detection for Prisons
Many businesses and public buildings come up against an array of challenges when it comes to protecting their property, staff and visitors and valuable contents from fire. Designing a fire alarm system for properties such as these involves a huge planning process where obstacles such as detection time, the aesthetics of the property and access for maintenance all have to be considered.
TUMI, Regent Street, London
Regent Street is one of the biggest shopping streets in the West End of London. With over two kilometers of store frontage and an exquisite assembly of prestigious international brands such as Burberry, Apple and Anthropologie, Regent street rivals world renowned shopping streets such as Champs-Élysées in France and America’s Fifth Avenue.
Using VSD and ASD Technology in a Petrochemicals Plant
Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum or natural gas. There are two common classes of petrochemicals; olefins (including ethylene and propylene) and aromatics (including benzene, toluene and xylene isomers). As you may expect, the production of petrochemicals such as these poses very high risk of fire.
