Fire alarm designers have many different types of fire detection at their disposal. When early smoke detection is critical, air sampling detectors, “High Sensitive Smoke detectors” is the preferred choice.
Air Sampling is one of the most sensitive forms of fire detection currently available. By detecting smoke at an very early stage and taking appropriate remedial action the damage caused by fire and smoke can often be avoided.
An air sampling system is in affect a sensitive smoke detector and is usually interfaced to a fire alarm system. And it is the fire alarm system that initiates a full alarm to the rest of the building.
The design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of these sensitive fire detection systems is a specialist task and should only be undertaken by suitably qualified and equipped engineers.
Fire Systems Ltd, have been installing and maintaining Air Sampling Systems since 1992. Our staff have a great deal of experience in this field. We work with and install systems from all the major manufacturers, by being independent and not tied to any one manufacturer, our advice is completely impartial
Air-sampling Smoke Detectors work by:
- Continually drawing air into a pipe network attached to a detector unit.
- Passing the air through a dual stage filter to remove dirt
- Sending the clean air to a laser detection chamber for smoke detection.
- Measuring the light scatter caused by any smoke
- Processing the detector signal and presenting the smoke level graphically
- Communicating the information to a fire alarm control panel, a software management system or a building management system.
Air-sampling smoke detectors provide the early warning of an imminent fire hazard. Why is this important? It buys time. Time to investigate a smoke alarm. Time to take action. Time to avoid the danger, damage and disruption caused by fire.
