Early Warning Fire Detection for Small Spaces
Typically, Aspirating Smoke Detection (or ASD) is used to protect larger areas from fire. ASD’s ability to actively draw air from large areas can help tackle the issues created by high ceilings, open spaces and smoke stratification, making it the ideal solution. However, there is a wide range of smaller applications where ASD is a more than suitable choice.
Aspirating Smoke Detection Sampling Types Continued…
In June last year we published an article to introduce the types of aspirating smoke detection that are available. During the article we outlined five different approaches to aspirating smoke detection: primary sampling, secondary sampling, localised sampling, in-cabinet sampling and duct sampling, before going on to introduce primary and secondary sampling in more detail. For this article, we want to pick up where we left off and talk about the remaining three types of sampling in further detail; localised air sampling, in-cabinet air sampling and duct air sampling.
Luxury Clothing Store, Covent Garden, London
Covent Garden is a popular tourist and shopping destination in London well known for its boutiques, theatres and street performers. Divided north and south by Long Acre, Covent Garden’s main thoroughfare, Covent Garden has a panoply of famous shopping destinations and landmarks.
Introducing VESDA-E
VESDA is a very early warning smoke detection system from Xtralis. It provides continuous air sampling that can detect a fire at the very early stages thus providing valuable time to investigate the warning and initiate appropriate action. VESDA detectors can provide warnings on multiple levels and have a wide sensitivity range that does not degrade.
Very Early Warning Smoke Detection for Small Telco Sites
Aspirating smoke detection provides very early warning smoke detection for a range of applications. Based around a central detection unit an aspirating smoke detection system actively draws air through a network of pipes into a detection chamber. The air is then analysed for the presence of smoke.
