Xtralis’ VESDA system has revolutionized the smoke and gas detection industry. This system not only detects fire, but can predict a potential fire up to 30 days before it occurs by measuring toxic gases, combustible gases, and oxygen deficiency. By notifying users when an environment enters the incipient stage of a fire, your employees can use the system to detect probable causes and take action. Large tech corporations trust VESDA for their fire and gas detection needs because of its reliable technology and state-of-the-art early detection warning, giving them the ultimate protection for valuable assets, and equipment.
SMOKE DETECTION
The early smoke detection of the VESDA system actively samples the air for even the smallest particles of smoke to detect a fire at its earliest stage. With early warning, there is time to understand the fire threat, research options for fire control, transfer important assets, data, and technology to a safer location, and evacuate the premises before fire suppression.
GAS DETECTION
Conventional fixed point gas detectors detect gas leaks and then generate an alarm. Proper placement of these units is a must for maximum effectiveness. Effectiveness also depends on the type of gas detection needed, airflow, pressure, and temperature. Other environmental elements factor in as well. More units in a particular space increase effectiveness, but also cost.
Save Money
Simply put, the VESDA system saves you dollars. It has multi-hole aspirators, providing cost-effective, 24/7 active air sampling and early detection of gas leaks in the harshest industrial or manufacturing environments. This system also offers full integrity monitoring, improved coverage, and dependable protection in areas of varying airflow.
Easy Installation
The VESDA system also offers easy installation along with with simple maintenance and service. The system operates with low energy consumption, too. All these factors result in lowering operating costs and overall cost of ownership.
Reliable
The VESDA Pro system provides reliable smoke and gas detection at the earliest presence of a hazard. Conventional detectors do not offer this early detection, as toxic or combustible gases, smoke, and fire can spread even before a warning gets delivered. Conventional detectors may not provide you enough evacuation time to secure your team and equipment.
