Choosing the right fire and smoke alarm system for your business is vital for protecting life and your business’ assets. Some businesses require fire detection systems that are extremely sensitive and fast. However, increasing your standard smoke detector’s threshold may increase the likelihood of experiencing a costly false alarm. As a result, aspirating smoke devices (ASD) like the VES-A10-P have become a common solution for early fire detection in specific environments such as contaminated or high airflow spaces.
VESDA by Xtralis stands for Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus, and VESDA-E is the enhanced version of VESDA that offers advanced sensitivity, precision, and features. These devices provide the earliest possible detection of fire hazards even before they are visible to people or conventional smoke detectors. Because of this early warning, they are suitable for critical infrastructure facilities, as well as having other unique applications due to their unique properties.
VESDA aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems have proven to be an effective solution for rapidly detecting fires in challenging environments. This is due to the ASD’s ability to draw in air, filter out contaminants, and accurately detect the presence of smoke. However, the functionality of a VESDA ASD system hinges significantly on its network of sampling pipes which actively convey air from the detection area to the ASD. Consequently, these pipes must be durable and have effective sealing mechanisms.
VESDA Pipes & Fittings are UL1887 certified and plenum rated. Designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, they streamline tasks for specifiers and installers, potentially saving both time and money. Furthermore, their compatibility with VESDA ASDs simplifies component selection, ensuring accurate installation. Finally, VESDA is made with a unique thermoplastic polymer that is lightweight and resistant to physical, mechanical, and chemical / corrosion damage. In short, VESDA has launched their pipe and fittings range to meet stringent compliance specifications and help your ASD system perform at its highest potential.
