VESDA ECO by Xtralis Aspirating Smoke Detection Plus Gas Detection and Environmental Monitoring

With VESDA ECO, Xtralis has extended its market-leading VESDA very early warning aspirating smoke detection system to include reliable gas detection and environmental monitoring. Invisible hazards can originate from the release of toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, or the presence of combustible gases/vapors. As with fire detection, proactive gas detection enables countermeasures to be taken to protect personnel and property from such unseen dangers.

VESDA ECO by Xtralis combines aspirating smoke detection with gas detection and environmental monitoring. It uses an existing VESDA pipe network to actively sample air for the presence of smoke as well as hazardous/combustible gases. Integration with other building systems (FACP, PLC, HVAC and BMS) delivers real-time situational awareness and intelligent emergency response, including the activation of demand-controlled ventilation to save energy and control costs.

VESDA ECO Benefits

Leverages existing VESDA pipe networks to cost effectively detect both smoke and gas in addition to providing environmental monitoring
Provides detection for multiple gases through simple expansion without major construction or retrofitting
Reduces energy consumption and costs through demand-controlled ventilation
Conditions air to remove dirt, particulates, moisture, poisonous agents, and cross-interference gases
Works in harsh environments
Provides non-intrusive detection for aesthetics or to prevent vandalism
Enables centralized monitoring and communication with building systems for real-time awareness
Integrates easily with FACP/PLC/HVAC/BMS

Gas Detection and Ranges
Each VESDA ECO detector can house up to two gas sensors, and additional detectors can be added easily to the pipe network to monitor more gases if required. In its initial release, VESDA ECO can be configured to detect:
