Aspirated smoke and off-gas detection systemsLithium-ion battery cabinet protectionSiemens aspirated smoke and Off-Gas Particle detectionHow does ASD “Off-Gas Particle” (OGP) detection work?Venturi bypass flowInsect filter Chamber flowDustIntelligent Classification of Airborne ParticlesAdvantages of using blue and infrared light scatteringEasy Installation and IntegrationLow Maintenance and Long Product LifecycleFeatures and BenefitsApplicationsAs its name implies – "aspirated" smoke and off-gas detection systems use an "aspirator" mounted in a detector unit. The detector connects to a sample pipe network mounted within the area or object being protected. Using the suction from the aspirator, air is continuously sampled and transported to the detection chamber for analysis for particlesSee more on assets.new.siemens
