In a 12 m high warehouse, smoke doesn't always reach the ceiling as quickly as you'd expect.
As smoke rises, it can cool and spread below roof level, making early detection more challenging for conventional point detectors.
That's where Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) comes in.
Unlike traditional smoke detectors, ASD actively draws air through a network of sampling pipes, continuously monitoring for smoke particles.
But how does it actually work, and when should you consider using it?
📖 Our latest technical blog covers:
• How ASD works and how it compares with point detectors.
• Why it's useful in warehouses, data centres and high-ceiling spaces.
• Key considerations for installation, pipe design and maintenance.
Whether you're an installer, fire system specifier or facilities manager, this guide is worth a read.
