In extreme environments - such as dirty environments, cold environments, large volumes such as warehouses and high spaces such as atria - point detectors cannot always detect fire early enough to avoid severe damage. For these environments, a different solution is required, such as aspirating smoke detectors

Aspirating smoke detectors are extremely sensitive to smoke and can differentiate smoke from dust. In addition, because air is actively drawn to the detector, it is able to pick up smoke much earlier than point detectors, including at the smoldering stage. As a result, it is able to overcome the challenges of stratification and humidity. It is also ideal for correctional facilities where vandalism may be a problem.

Carrier has a market leading range of aspirating detectors, with unique features to help detect a fire early and reliably. Please click on the links to find out more
