How does the VESDA system work?
VESDA® works by continually drawing air into the pipe network via a high efficiency aspirator. A sample of this air is then passed through a dual stage filter. The first stage removes dust and dirt from the air sample before it allows the sample to enter the laser detection chamber for smoke detection.
What does a VESDA system detect?
Unlike conventional smoke and gas detectors that become easily contaminated due to airborne dust, VESDA ECO overcomes harsh environmental conditions to provide reliable detection of methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO) or other hazardous gases.
Where can you use VESDA?
VESDA-E VEA The detectors are suitable for protection of areas where pinpoint location of fire events is essential, thus providing ideal fire detection solutions for healthcare, offices, education, retail, prisons and electrical cabinets.
