What is a VESDA pipe?

What is a VESDA pipe?

The VESDA pipe range is based on pipework of a standard inside diameter (ID) of 3/4”. VESDA aspirating smoke detection is an early warning system that detects. fire in the incipient stages – before flames are visible – by detecting the. products of pre-combustion in the air around the area about to ignite.

How does the VESDA system work?

VESDA® works by continually drawing air into the pipe network via a high efficiency aspirator. A sample of this air is then passed through a dual stage filter. The first stage removes dust and dirt from the air sample before it allows the sample to enter the laser detection chamber for smoke detection.

What does a VESDA system detect?

Unlike conventional smoke and gas detectors that become easily contaminated due to airborne dust, VESDA ECO overcomes harsh environmental conditions to provide reliable detection of methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO) or other hazardous gases.

Where can you use VESDA?

VESDA is right for multiple applications.

1. Computer Rooms. VESDA detection is ideal for area that have high airflow.
2. Fire Suppression Applications. VESDA detection with Fire Suppression is a fantastic combination.
3. Warehouses.
4. Cold Storage.

Who makes VESDA?

Xtralis
Xtralis is a global leader and pioneer in life safety. We invented VESDA very early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD), the world’s leading ASD brand.

Who installs a VESDA system?

A: Being a critical component of the electrical life safety fire system and directly connected to the VEA detector, tubes need to be installed by VESDA certified personnel, e.g., electrical / instrumentation contractor. If a mechanical contractor must be used then it would necessitate two-trade coordination to deploy.

What is the difference between smoke detector and VESDA?

VESDA ® aspirating smoke detection systems provide phenomenal response to smoke within high airflow environments. Secondary smoke detection is also used for the eventuality that the Air handling equipment fails or is switched off. VESDA ® systems are designed using the same principles as point detection.

What is the meaning of VESDA?

VESDA (an abbreviation of Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) is a Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection solution.

Is xtralis a Honeywell?

​MELVILLE, N.Y., April 1, 2016 — Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced that it has completed its acquisition of Xtralis, a leading global provider of aspirating smoke detection, advanced perimeter security technologies, and video analytics software for $480 million.

What is the full form of Vesda?

How does the VESDA air sampling system work?

The VESDA system samples air from a fire zone for the presence of smoke. The air sampling system makes this possible by providing the means for transporting air from a fire zone to the detector. The air sampling system is active, continuously drawing in air samples by means of an integral pump. It does not

Is the VESDA intelligent interface compatible with the FACP?

The VESDA Intelligent Interface is part of a VESDA early smoke detection system and is compatible with 4100ES/4010ES Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP). The Intelligent Interface allows the system to communicate with the FACP through the VESDA High-Level Interface (HLI), which provides gateway functionality between the VESDA system and the FACP.

What are the different types of VESDA devices?

Two point types support the VESDA devices. They are: S3SMOKE  “SMOKE DETECTOR” S3UTIL  “UTILITY MONITOR” Primary Status The Primary Status of a VESDA device is derived from the generic device type (VESDA), point type and the logical state of th e point.
