Description

Xtralis VESDA in-line filters offer a cost-effective solution for extending the operational life of aspirating smoke detectors in environments with high airborne contamination. These filters significantly improve detector longevity and reduce maintenance frequency, providing superior performance and ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership for VESDA systems.

Installation is straightforward, facilitated by a tapered inlet that allows direct fitting into sampling pipes without requiring additional pipe fittings, thus keeping initial costs minimal. The filters are compatible with both metric (25mm OD) and imperial (1” OD) pipe sizes. Their elegant design ensures smooth integration, and for multi-pipe installations, up to four filters can be installed side-by-side.

Operationally, air passes through filter elements positioned at a fixed angle, a design choice that maximises the exposed surface area and extends the filter’s life. A key feature is the replaceable filter elements, which can be exchanged without removing the entire housing from the pipe network, simplifying and reducing the cost of ongoing maintenance. These filters are available in red, grey, or metal finishes to suit various aesthetic requirements.

Eurofyre, an authorised Honeywell distributor and a long-standing technical wholesaler of Xtralis products, supplies these VESDA in-line filters. They provide expert advice and comprehensive support for VESDA, FAAST, and ICAM aspirating smoke detection systems, including pipework calculations, training, and robust after-sales service.
