Alien Systems & Technologies has announced the latest in linear heat detection systems – the ProReact range of linear detection heat cables. Linear heat detection is a cable type of detection, formally.
Fire protection systems form a crucial part in any risk management system. They control and minimise the consequences of a fire. The best outcome of course is to reduce the consequence to a negligible.
Silent delivery nozzle eliminates vibration damage to hard drives when a gaseous fire extinguishing system discharges in the data centre.
Noise and vibration sensitivity problems in disk drives.
Did you know that you now need a certificate of conformity for gaseous fire extinguishing system installations? These certificates are, in fact, a legal requirement and an inspection report cannot be.
All gas extinguishing system standards require a certain concentration of extinguishant to be maintained in an area for a minimum time period, generally 10 minutes for clean agents. Discharge testing.
Flammable material must be handled safely, sources of ignition excluded and good housekeeping standards maintained.
Two more Alien Systems & Technologies employees have achieved an IFE Level 2 Certificate in Fire Science, Operations and Safety. Design engineer, Nathan Stewart, and Room Integrity Testing Technician.
A few years ago when Halon gases were banned, the industry saw a brief rise of what it termed ‘Halon Bandits’. Unscrupulous companies would offer to remove Halon gas filled cylinders at no cost, only.
It seems governments have a different outlook this time around The problem is engineers and designers need to provide fire protection for hazards such as computer rooms, sub-floors, tape storage, telecommunications/switchgear.
