Advanced fiber optical linear heat detection
A blazing fire has devastating consequences. It damages the assets, causes down-times and will risk life. A proper fire protection concept is not simple when the protection area is affected by harsh environmental conditions. Industrial facilities always produce dirt, dust, humidity and corrosive atmospheres in the production, storage or transport of goods. Conventional sensor technology often fails and tends to produce false alarms. High efforts are needed to keep the conventional fire detection system properly maintained. AP Sensing’s unique linear heat detection solution, the “Linear Heat Series”, is designed to reduce the operational costs and offers maximum reliability even under severe conditions like:
- dirt, dust and corrosive atmospheres
- high humidity and dynamic temperature fluctuations
- solvent vapors and radioactive radiation
- ATEX classified areas of gas or dust
Fire detection in hazardous and harsh environment
Safety systems demand reliable and quick fire detection. Furthermore – in harsh environments solutions need to be immune from any interference, free of false alarms and must be easy to handle. AP Sensing offers a protection concept based on a simple fiber optic cable as a high–precision addressable heat sensor which is easy to install, maintenance free and certified for several thousand meters. It leaves no area unmonitored and displays the real-time temperature development and heat transport of the entire area at once. AP Sensing’s “Linear Heat Series” is perfectly suited for all large-sized applications in special hazardous environments.
