Early and Reliable Detection
Xtralis is the leading global provider of powerful solutions for the early detection of fire, gas and security threats. Xtralis has been a pioneer in life safety and security for more than 25 years. We are the world’s largest manufacturer of very early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems, including VESDA, the world’s No. 1 ASD brand. In an industry driven by very high standards of accreditation, regulatory compliance and applications solution design, Xtralis has a solution for any environment from the “Ultra Clean” to the “Ultra Dirty”.
VESDA Aspirating Smoke Detection
VESDA detectors are highly sensitive smoke detection systems capable of functioning and detecting smoke in a wide range of conditions and applications. For every environmental condition, regardless of the clean to dirty extremes of these applications, VESDA is the solution. In the high airflow conditions of an ultra clean environment the delayed detection of smoke not only compromises the sterile environment, but can also cause irreversible damage to the clean room, the equipment and the manufactured product. A VESDA detector constantly draws air to the detector providing the optimum protection against fire by reliably detecting the presence of smoke at the earliest possible stage. A VESDA system can be designed, modeled and installed to cater for any harsh, dirty, dusty or polluted environment. Traditional smoke detection systems have always struggled to perform and distinguish smoke in these difficult, hazardous or polluted environments. Poor detection, shorter detector life, false alarms and higher levels of maintenance are all factors that create concern and increase the ongoing costs to the end user.
Solutions and Applications
From the confined spaces of correctional institutions to the large, open spaces in cultural facilities, warehouses and airports to data and telecommunications centers with rows of server cabinets to heated production floors in industrial complexes, VESDA ASD systems deliver superior very early fire detection in all environments. Traditional smoke detectors are either ineffective or cannot reliably protect such environments due to dust, humidity or corrosive atmospheres and can be expensive to deploy. Xtralis very early warning fire detection systems provide cost-effective, easy-tomaintain protection regardless of the environment.
