Description
VESDA “Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus”. It is a specialized air sampling smoke detection system used to detect smoke at an early stage, before a fire actually occurs. The system works by constantly drawing air samples into a network of pipes, which are then analyzed for the presence of smoke particles using a laser-based technology.
VESDA systems are highly sensitive, able to detect smoke particles in concentrations as low as 0.001% obscuration per meter. They are also able to differentiate between smoke particles and other types of airborne contaminants, such as dust and moisture, which helps to reduce false alarms.
Top manufacturers of VESDA are Honeywell and Xtralis.
