Detection of Hidden Fire Hazards

For numerous industries, preventive fire protection is crucial to safeguard not only assets but most importantly the people behind them. After all, numerous hidden hazards lurk within industrial processes, which are often overlooked and can lead to catastrophic consequences.

At Fagus-GreCon, the recognition and prevention of fires and explosions start with understanding their causes—for example, through precise examination and classification of ignition sources and optimized product development based on the findings.

Therefore, we have increasingly focused on the development of intelligent sensor technology—with success! The challenge lies in detecting these risks, which are not always visible to the human eye, and taking effective measures before hazards arise. With the development of the spark detector DLD 1/9, the prevention of fires and explosions has reached a new dimension since the invention of the spark extinguishing system in the mid-1970s.

The Solution: Intelligent Spark Detector Technology of the DLD 1/9

Identifying different types of ignition sources is complex and requires precise monitoring to minimize false alarms while ensuring reliable detection. Traditional systems often do not offer the speed and efficiency required for modern fire protection.

This is precisely why Fagus-GreCon developed the spark detector DLD 1/9, as it provides superior detection performance based on physical facts compared to other providers.

The intelligent spark detector has been specifically designed to safely monitor industrial processes under the most challenging conditions by using its advanced technology to early detect potential hazards such as flying sparks, which can lead to fires or explosions.

How is this detection performance achieved?

In industrial processes, sparks, hot particles, and smoldering embers are the main causes of fires. These ignition sources vary significantly in temperature and lifespan, which complicates their early detection. Depending on their temperature, they emit radiation in different wavelength ranges. The innovative DLD 1/9 takes this into account and is equipped with a range of sensors that are specifically tuned to offer high sensitivity in their respective spectral ranges.

The advanced sensors are distinguished by their ability to reliably identify ignition sources at minor deviations, making them particularly fast and reliable in detection. Moreover, the DLD 1/9 can be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements of the production environment to optimally utilize its potential. These measures enable preventive and defensive extinguishing actions to be initiated with extraordinary speed and reliability.

By developing our spark detectors according to the physical properties of the ignition sources, Fagus-GreCon offers the most powerful solution on the market.
