Infrared early fire detection
Infrared early fire detection Made in Germany
When storing paper, waste and fuels in closed bunkers and in open areas, reliable equipment for detecting and fighting fires is required.
Self-ignition of the stored materials or external entry of hot substances can cause fires that pose a high risk to operators and the environment. Effective prevention is provided by an early fire detection system based on an infrared camera, including evaluation of the thermal images using software.
In combination with a water spray extinguishing system, the system can extinguish fires fully automatically. For this purpose, the monitoring area is divided into individual sections, each of which is assigned to a water spray alarm valve station.
We would be happy to develop a customized protection concept for you. With a well thought-out fire protection concept, you signal reliability and safety to your customers.
The thermographic images are displayed on a black and white scale. Dark areas stand for cold areas, light areas for high temperatures. If preset temperature limit values are exceeded in the scanned area, the software signals the alarm status.
Recognize fire hazards at an early stage
The infrared cameras in compact or weatherproof housings are aligned to the freely definable sectors of the area to be monitored and continuously measure the temperature distribution at the various positions. Thanks to the infrared technology, the measurement result is not affected by smoke or dust. In the event of a fire, areas where the temperature is exceeded are colored red. This allows the operator to immediately identify the location of the fire and initiate fire-fighting measures.
Alarms and system statuses are displayed on the monitor and on the control panel. External devices for alerting (forwarding to a permanently manned location, alerting personnel e.g. via SMS) and firefighting can be activated directly.
In combination with a water spray extinguishing system, the system can extinguish fires fully automatically. For this purpose, the monitoring area is divided into individual sections, each of which is assigned to a water spray alarm valve station.
As the camera precisely determines the position of the source of the fire, the water spray extinguishing section located above the source of the fire can be controlled in a targeted manner. This minimizes the use of extinguishing water. At the same time as extinguishing is activated, the personnel are alerted and the machine is switched off.
A fully equipped system meets the requirements of VdS guideline 3189 for IR camera units for temperature monitoring in fire protection. In addition to the installation of an early fire detection system including water spray extinguishing system, T&B offers you the installation of spark extinguishing systems to protect transport lines and filters against dust explosions and the installation of gas extinguishing systems for object protection (e.g. processing machines).
