Duct smoke detectors
Duct smoke detectors activate early, even at low smoke particle concentrations
What are duct smoke detectors?
In any modern fire protection strategy, early smoke detection plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of fire through air ducts. Duct smoke detectors are devices designed to identify the presence of smoke inside ventilation shafts before it can circulate throughout the building.
Unlike traditional detectors, these units are built to integrate with HVAC infrastructure. They continuously sample the air that moves through ventilation ducts. If smoke particles are detected, they immediately trigger the alarm and sends a signal to activate the fire suppression systems. Their purpose is simple but vital: to stop the threat before it becomes an emergency.
These detectors are mandatory in many buildings according to fire safety regulations, particularly in large complexes where air is distributed through centralized HVAC systems.
Where to use them?
These devices are engineered to detect even low concentrations of smoke particles early enough to trigger alarms and initiate emergency response protocols. Here are the most common use cases for duct smoke detectors:
- Commercial buildings: shopping centers, hotels, offices, where large volumes of air circulate through centralized HVAC systems.
- Industrial facilities: warehouses and manufacturing plants, where overheating or machinery faults can lead to fire incidents.
- Hospitals and care homes: environments with vulnerable people where early smoke detection is crucial for evacuation.
- Schools and universities: to protect students and staff by ensuring smoke doesn’t spread via ventilation systems.
- Public buildings and airports: high-traffic areas requiring immediate fire detection to prevent panic and accidents.
- Server rooms and telecom facilities: where electronic equipmentneeds constant monitoring.
