Project Overview

Aspirating Detection – When it comes to intricate spaces covered with fire protection, most people will consider linear heat detection as the solution. Linear heat detection can be installed in pretty much any environment as it’s only a simple cable linked to a control unit. However, the problem with linear heat detection is that it doesn’t offer the early warning that other types of detection do. With that in mind, aspirating detection would be the only solution to be considered for this complex challenge.

The Cirrus HYBRID detectors offered swift and effective detection of smoke and fire. The possibility to reach the demanding spaces is also a distinct advantage thanks to Protec’s extensive collection of aspirating pipes, capillaries, and other purpose-made components. These innovative products all proved imperative, especially in the cases of the compressor housing areas. A mixture of ABS impact resistant pipes and sampling points makes up the compressor housing aspirating systems; this detection method allies perfectly with complex structures requiring detection. The detection pipes sit inside the machine housing, which links back to the Cirrus HYBRID detectors mounted externally adjacent to the valuable machinery.

The maintenance of the Cirrus HYBRID aspirating detectors continues to be beneficial to the client. The aspirating pipes all feedback to a detector mounted on the wall adjacent to the machines, enabling an easily accessible maintenance solution at periodic intervals without dismantling any of the compressor housings. An engineer goes to the easily assessable detector and utilises a 7-inch touch screen, and controls the units from there, omitting any need to open high-value compressors.
