What is the Vesda detection system?
This system is also known as an aspirating smoke detector or air sampling device, because what it does is that it constantly and actively samples the air around it. These systems detect even the smallest products of combustion and send an alert as soon as these changes occur, so what distinguishes a VESDA from other fire detection systems is its sensitivity to even the smallest smoke particles.
A VESDA system allows the fastest response to a possible fire condition because it is constantly drawing air from the room through sampling points along the piping. It will send an alert as soon as the smallest amount of smoke is detected, much faster than standard point-type smoke detectors. If immediate response is the goal, it is worth installing this system, considering also that they are especially suited to protect high-value assets.
VESDA not only protects priceless artifacts, it is also a superior life-saving system. Preventing a fire is the best possible outcome in protecting property and people, and it facilitates this by detecting smoke immediately.
Where can this type of system be placed?
Places where a VESDA system can be deployed include data centers, clean rooms, telecommunications facilities, control rooms and other mission critical facilities. For large open auditoriums and similar buildings.
Benefits of this type of system
There are many benefits to using a VESDA detection system:
- VESDA systems are designed to overcome the difficult challenges presented by a data center and telecommunications facility. VESDA air sampling smoke detection focuses on the safety of people, protection of assets and continuity of service.
- With a VESDA system, you never have to worry about smoke going unnoticed in a data center and telecommunications facility located in your company.
- They are easier to maintain than standard point-type smoke detectors and are much less noticeable than other smoke detectors, an important consideration for the period architecture often found in historic facilities.
- A VESDA system requires fewer units than standard smoke detectors to be effective, which will save money and provide a high level of protection.
