Identifying heat sources – fighting them in a targeted and automated way

Early fire detection: Infrared camera and monitors for automated extinguishing

Waste, wood and paper processing facilities present high fire risks. Early fire detection systems using infrared detection quickly identify potential fire sources and minimize response times. Hazardous hotspots that may turn into a fire source are identified within minutes, even before smoke or flames appear.

The early fire detection system provides full-surface monitoring of large areas through panoramic thermal imaging. Combined with intelligent analyzing software, this enables the precise localization of a fire source. In addition, remote-controlled FireDos monitors are used for pinpointed extinguishing with water or foam. This helps avoid lengthy and costly system downtime and collateral damage with minimal effort.

Infrared detection systems: Quick response, less system downtimes

In case of a fire, infrared detection systems with heat detection and automated extinguishing systems outperform other technologies. Fires are quickly and reliably identified before professional intervention is required.

Smart monitoring, automated extinguishing

The combination of automatic early fire detection and an automatic fire extinguishing system allows tailored extinguishing strategies perfect for each application.

Smart software and analysis of individual characteristics are used to screen the surroundings, distinguishing between hot engines, exhaust pipes and hotspots that may indicate an actual or possible fire.
Integrated with the automatic extinguishing system, the FireDos firefighting monitors are controlled electronically and achieve maximum range with optimum accuracy thanks to the flow-optimized Oval Flat Design. The required extinguishing agent flow rate can automatically be adjusted during operation.

Fire detection and automatic extinguishing: six scenarios

The following systems can be coupled with extinguishing monitors from FireDos for automatic extinguishing:

Early fire detection system Orglmeister PYROsmart® pro
Early fire detection system DIAS PYROVIEW FDS
Flame detection system FGD FlameSpec-IR3

In case of flame detection, the whole area is extinguished.

If a hotspot is detected extinguishing takes place in the hotspot area.

If a hotspot is detected in one of the sectors, extinguishing takes place in the hotspot area.
(The camera controls the corresponding monitor).

If a flame is detected in one of the sectors, the sector is extinguished.
(A monitor can cover several sectors as long as there is no shadowing by e.g. walls or pillars)

If a hotspot is detected in one of the sectors, it is extinguished in the hotspot area.
