In the ReCaS DataCenter an aspirating smoke detector (ASD) has been used for its unique characteristics that make it particularly suitable to a DataCenter:
- Smoke is aspirated actively in the analysis chamber;
- Cumulative effect for early detection;
- Ease of maintenance due to lack of active elements in the field.
- Smoke detection localized near the sources of fire
- Early detection is particularly indicated in the data centers where continuity of service is a must and the high air movement penalizes point detection systems.
- An aspirating smoke detector, thanks to an early warning, can help prevent discharge of the fire extinguishing system due to possible false alarm.
NAF S 125 is used as a gaseous agent of the extinguishing system. Among the halogenated extinguishing agents, the NAF S 125 is the one that requires the lowest concentration in weight.
