VESDA very early warning smoke detectors provide the earliest warning of a potential fire. This buys time to investigate and intervene, potentially avoiding the damage, downtime and cost of suppression release.
This is critical for:
• Telecommunications facilities
• Server rooms
• Financial data centres
• Utility facilities
• Clean rooms
• Power generation facilities
VESDA sampling points can be placed at the return air grille, or in equipment cabinets, detecting the smoke as it is carried by the airflow.
In a large open space, sampling points for VESDA detectors can be placed where the smoke travels—often some distance below ceiling level.
