▪ Arcing and static electrical charge

▪ High pressure hydraulic systems

▪ High fuel load

▪ Lightning strikes

▪ Hot-work in an enclosed space


… and the Consequences

▪ Life safety

▪ Life safety risks to

fire fighters or

populated areas

▪ Loss of expensive

assets

▪ Service disruption

and downtime, loss

of feed-in tariffs

▪ Impact to reputation

in the community

▪ Lost licenses

Current Detection Technologies

System Comments

Linear Heat

Detectors

Often installed to activate sprinklers when

intense heat is present. These detectors

won’t detect a fire at its earliest stage.

Beam

Detectors

Building movement or stock blocking the

beam can trigger a false alarm. They are not

sensitive enough to detect a fire at its earliest

stage.

Spot

Detectors

Not good at detecting smoke in rooms with

large volumes or high airflow as the smoke

may never make it to the detector. Difficult to

maintain as each detector has to be tested

and maintained at ceiling level.


Critical Factor in Technology Choice…


Aspirating Smoke Detection Technology

11

VESDA Air-Sampling Detection System (ASD)

is a system which draws air from an area, via a pipe network, back to a

central detector which continuously monitors for traces of smoke

Specific Environmental Hazards

High airflow in a control room

▪ Sample where the smoke goes

▪ ASD is tolerant of air dilution

© 2016 by Honeywell International Inc. All rights reserved. Continued…

High airflow in a control room

▪ ASD easily detects dispersed smoke behind cabinets

and under floor



Finding Fires in Elec/Switch/Relay/Control Cabinets

▪ Which cabinet?




▪ Which cabinet?




✓ ASD in each cabinet can identify a fire risk very early

Addressability per row



Stratification in Large Open Spaces

▪ No smoke at the ceiling



Stratification in Large Open Spaces

✓ ASD sampling on walls, joists

and trusses

✓ High sensitivity cumulative

sampling detects small

increases in homogeneous

smoke




Dealing with Smoke Dilution & Stratification

The high sensitivity and cumulative sampling of VESDA performs well in the low levels

of homogeneous smoke.

Cumulative sampling and the flexibility of installation overcomes stratification.


High/Low Temperature Extremes

▪ Sensor protection/longevity

▪ Distinguishing fire event from temperature rise



High/Low Temperature Extremes

✓ ASD senses smoke where high temperatures are normal

✓ Remote detector is protected from extremes by ambient pipe cooling



Dusty and High Pollution Levels

▪ Risk of sensor

contamination and

reduced life

▪ Risk of nuisance alarms




✓ Air-sampling allows establishment of a baseline during

commissioning




✓ Quality ASD protect chamber optics for longevity and absolute smoke

detection

✓ No loss of sensitivity (drift comp or relative scaling)



Test & Maintenance

• Crowded technical spaces

• Cable spreading rooms



Easy access test point

Test & Maintenance

✓ ASD enables remote

sampling and test

✓ Last hole testing allowed

under NFPA 72

Only smoke

in last hole



Test & Maintenance

✓ Under-floor and in-duct



VESDA detectors can be installed somewhere accessible. Only the sample

pipe is in the inaccessible area

▪ Reactor building

▪ Turbine building

▪ Feed water

▪ RWCU & containment

Test & Maintenance

✓ ASD sampling pipes can

be placed on the ceiling

and around the spent fuel

pool to ensure early

detection of smoke.
