Applications of Linear Heat Detection
Solar Panels and Solar Farms
Fire can be caused by panels short circuiting, poor maintenance, damage from debris, or over heating. Panels are often roof mounted meaning that an overheating solar panel can lead to catastrophic fire event. Our Linear Heat Detection System is the perfect solution to these enviornments for both industrial and private solar panel fire detection.
Cable Trays
Cable trays consist of a number of individual cables packed closely together, should this overheat it can easily evolve into a fire. If this is not detected early it can cause significant loss of plant, down time of production, and in severe situations even risk to life. All of these can have a large financial impact.
Floating Roof Tanks
Floating roof storage tanks can contain highly flammable products which can cause catastrophic fires. If the fire is not detected early it can cause significant loss of plant, down time of production and in severe situations even risk to life. These can have a large financial or environmental impact.
Warehouses
Within high density storage warehouses a relatively small fire will spread vertically very quickly and within a few minutes can cause softening of the steelwork leading to collapse of the racking. The detection of overheating in the earliest stage of a developing fire is therefore essential. Our Linear Heat Detector cable can be installed within the racking itself. Making it very close to detecting the early stages of over heating and raising an alarm at the earliest opportunity.
Transformers
Large Transformers are used extensively across power distribution networks. Not only at power stations but across national electrical grids. Overheating, power surges or lighting strike can quickly lead to a catastrophic fire event. Therefore, early over-heat detection is essential. Often located in open and exposed areas our Linear Heat Detection provides the ideal solution for quick alarm detection but also removes ongoing maintanence issues.
Power Stations
Power stations are one of the biggest consumers of linear heat detection systems. They have conveyor belts, car parks, access tunnels, hazardous areas, computer banks, warehouse storage and many more. These are all ideal locations to use our Linear Heat Detection System.
Conveyors
Fires on conveyor belt systems are typically caused by the friction of the belt on seized idlers and rollers or from bearings overheating. In addition the product being transported may already be on fire. The situation becomes even more dangerous because a conveyor...
Tunnels
Fire detection in tunnels should be considered as essential. A fire within the confined spaces of a tunnel can quickly produce intense levels of heat, smoke and toxic gases leading to structural damage and loss of life.
Bus and Coaches
Bus fires are a global problem. Statistics show that in the USA alone there are, on average, six bus fires a day: that equates to over 2,000 a year.
