Aspirating smoke detection systems

An aspirating smoke detection system detects smoke in air drawn from the protected space. The air samples travel through a pipe network to the detector, where they are analysed. The solution may suit sites that need highly sensitive smoke detection or where conventional detectors are difficult to position.

PAP’s sales team helps you assess whether an aspirating smoke detector is suitable and prepares a quote. Our design team prepares the design needed to implement the chosen solution as part of the fire alarm system.

What kinds of sites is aspirating smoke detection suited to?

Aspirating detection can be used, for example, in industry, logistics premises, data centres and high-ceilinged spaces. When assessing the solution, the protected space, the conditions and the objectives set for smoke detection are taken into account.

The sensitivity and operation of the system are adapted to the site. Aspirating detection is not chosen on the basis of a single feature, but as part of a whole that must work in the real operating environment of the space.

A new solution or supplementing the existing one?

Aspirating detection can be designed together with a new fire alarm system, or its suitability can be assessed alongside a system already in use. The existing equipment and the method of connection are determined before an implementation decision is made.

PAP helps you compare whether it makes sense to supplement the existing system or whether a more extensive system upgrade would be more appropriate.

How do you start procuring an aspirating smoke detection system?

Tell our sales team about the use of the space, its height, the conditions and your current fire alarm solution. Floor plans and information on changes to the spaces support the survey. Our sales team helps you choose a solution and puts together a quote for equipment and services.

Aspirating smoke detection at customer sites

At Best-Hall’s production hall in Kälviä, aspirating smoke detectors installed by PAP Group responded to a fire at an early stage, and the production stoppage was limited to two days. At Haapajärvi Church, the fire alarm system upgrade included a sampling pipe installed in the attic.
