BDS Products: Air Sampling
Airsampling can be used for extremely early detection of combustion or as a replacement for point type detectors.
Applications include:
- Atruims & Voids where maintenance access is difficult and expensive
- Computer & Clean rooms - Detection of component failures
- Heavy industrial areas
- Shopping Malls
- Areas of high airflow
All fires have four stages:
- Incipient (pre-combustion)
- Visible Smoke
- Flaming Fire
- Intense Heat.

This chart shows the progression of fire over a time period you will note that the incipient stage of smouldering fires provides the widest window of opportunity to detect and control the spread of fire. Aspiration smoke detectors can be configured to generate multiple alarms within this window, to provide the time needed to help minimise or prevent fire loss.
