September 2004, GermanyA fire destroys a historic Eastern German library.30,000 priceless books from the 16th to 18th century were destroyed.

Causes

Arson

Litter and debris from visitors acts as a fuel

Cigarettes

Rapid spread of fire due to nature of storage.

Ignition due to external factors

Basic Key: Early warning/notification of incipient fire development

Smoke detection will respond to a fire development significantly faster than the operation of the important fire sprinkler system. The Key for complete protection of valued areas is both early warning smoke detection and fire sprinkler systems

Smoke detection Protects•Irreplaceable artifacts•Fine Art•Historic Documents•People•Mammals•Not just displays, but the Storage locations

Value of Smoke Detection

Smoke Detectors do not Look Cool!!!

The have conduit/raceways and wires

The Systems require notification devices both audible and visible

Challenges of Smoke Detection


Page 10

Smoke Detectors do not Look Cool!!!•Bosch has flat smoke detector•Vesda-Air Aspiration conceals the needed piping network•Wireless detection systems

Bosch

•Then there are creative applications for the special needs

Solutions to meet the Challenges of Smoke Detection

VESDA

Interiors where the appearance must not be spoilt by unsightly conventional detectors

Artistic and cultural integrity – preserve aesthetic features

Heritage

Why VESDA?

Capillary tube

Sampling trunk pipe

Capillary terminated flush with Ceiling panel tile

Heritage


Page 13

Why VESDA?

Capillary tubes runs above the ceiling and enter the fire zone through a small hole in the cornice

Cornices

Beams

Heritage


Page 14

Why VESDA?

VESDA flexible sampling allows reliable detection in difficult places

Why VESDA?Lowest cost of ownership- Easy installation- Simple servicing

Single VESDA can replace up to 40 conventional point detectors

Spot type smoke detection has advanced greatly in the past 5 years

Multi-Criteria Detection•Multiple sensors with intelligence •Responds faster to real fires•Ignores deceptive phenomena (dust, theatrical smoke etc)

Beam Detectors•Intelligence

Air Aspiration•Continues to expand the very early warning field

Technology Concepts•Red-Blue LEDS in detectors•Backwards-forward light scattering

Technology Advancements

Smoke and Fire Detection in these Applications are Challenging

Need a Very Good Design and Long Term Plan•Fire Protection Engineer•Fire Alarm Manufacture/representative

Need a very good Maintenance Program•Fire Sprinkler and Smoke Detection/Alarm System coordination

Protect the Cultural Mission, Life and PropertyWith Smoke Detection and Fire Sprinkler Systems

Needs going Forward
