Xtralis VESDA Systems
To provide a comprehensive range of solutions to our customers, Intelligent Fire offers specialized services related to Xtralis VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) systems.
What sets VESDA apart from traditional smoke and heat detectors is its highly sophisticated aspirating smoke detection (ASD) technology, which can detect smoke in the very early stages when traditional fire alarms are not sensitive enough. The effectiveness of Xtralis VESDA systems lies in continuous air sampling and analysis, with intelligent compensation that detects the smallest traces of smoke while reducing the risk of false alarms.
Typical Installations of Xtralis VESDA Systems
Most commonly, we install Xtralis VESDA smoke detectors where we believe they will be a significantly superior option to traditional smoke detectors. For example:
- Areas with high airflow, such as industrial facilities with powerful exhaust capabilities, can dilute the initial presence of smoke.
- Air conditioning ducts, where smoke can pass through quickly and remain undetectable until it reaches a high concentration (meaning the fire must become more intense before it’s detected).
- Large open spaces, like amusement parks and concert venues, where late detection of smoke is amplified by the difficulty of evacuating thousands of people.
- Ceilings with beams, which contain large-volume air pockets and greater airflow, require larger smoke buildup for detection.
- Specialized applications, like high-end residential facilities, art, and car collections, for example, where aesthetics are very important and equipment must be installed in a manner that is highly functional, yet virtually invisible.
Xtralis VESDA Buys You Time
When your safety team is dealing with a fire emergency, just a few lost moments can mean the difference between life and death. The most lethal aspects of a fire are its rapid spread and the quick filling of a facility with toxic smoke. Out-of-control flames can block exits, and dense smoke can make it difficult for occupants to find their way out, even causing some to succumb to the effects of excessive smoke and heat. This isn’t a Hollywood movie scenario, but a reality that unfortunately repeats itself all too often.
In some settings, however, these tragic results can be significantly magnified by a unique structural layout and above-average occupancy. These types of settings are considered zero-tolerance incident zones, including:
- Airports
- Museums
- Research facilities
- Cultural facilities
- Clean rooms
- Warehouses
- Telecommunication centers
- Prisons
In these settings, early fire detection is crucial to ensure everyone’s safety and minimize the risk of serious damage. At Intelligent Fire, we have a deep understanding of when VESDA systems are most appropriate and how to install them to leverage this unique Xtralis technology to its full potential.
