Today we are going to look at how fire detection systems can be used in Data Centers to prevent catastrophic loss and damage; we will focus on Very Early Smoke Detection Systems, (VESDA – Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm).
Without an efficient and safe environment, there is no way to be assured of business continuity. To [...]
VESDA Air-sampling Smoke Detectors work by:
Continually drawing air into a pipe network attached to a detector unit.
Passing the air through a dual stage filter to remove dirt
Sending the clean air to a laser detection chamber for smoke detection.
Measuring the light scatter caused by any smoke
Processing the detector signal and presenting the smoke level graphically
Communicating the [...]
