 Storage areas

Our fire detection system is a reliable system for surveillance and recognition of spontaneous
fires inside bunkers or free air dumps of waste or combustible materials like paper, wasteor charcoal among many others.
Since the dumped materials are mostly inflammable the probability of spontaneous
combustions is high with disastrous effects for man and environment.
Many insurance policies recommend the usage of fire early warning systems based on infraredcameras.
The high performance infrared cameras PYROVIEW FDS 380L and 640L combined with thepowerful Software PYROSOFT FDS for the analysing the thermographic images allows anearly warning and fire prevention.
The infrared cameras PYROVIEW FDS 380L and 640L mounted on a pan-tilt head
automatically monitors the user defined area to be observed and continuously quantifies thesurface temperature distribution.
The PYROSOFT FDS software checks the temperatures inside the regions of interest (ROI).
An alarm will be raised in case the predefined temperature limits are exceeded and thecurrent infrared image is saved.
Alarms and the system status are displayed on the monitor and the control panel. External
equipment for alerting and firefighting can be controlled via the flexible I/O system.

 Waste bunkers

I

f waste is stored for waste incineration plants, as well as combustible materials for coal-fired or wood-fired power plants in closed bunkers
and storage areas, devices for the detection and control of fires are necessary. Due to chemical processes within the material or the insertionof hot material may spark a fire with great danger for people and environment. Proper facilities for early fire detection and fire fighting areneeded. A proven early fire detection is based on the use of PYROVIEW infrared cameras within the wavelength range from 8 µm to 14 µm fora continuous automatic temperature measurement of waste and combustible filling. In this way hot spots or smoldering fires can be detected
early and get eliminated with suitable measures before the fire can break out. The cameras are built in a robust industry housing (IP 65).
A fully equipped system meets the demands of the VdS guideline "IR camera units for temperature surveillance for firedetection" (VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH, guideline no. 3189).

Hot spot in a waste bunker Fire detection
The infrared image is displayed in a pseudocolor image mode gray-scale; the brighter
the color, the higher the temperature.
In case of fire areas exceeding thetemperature limits become red colored.
The operator recognizes the source of fire
immediately and can start fire fighting
actions. The infrared image on the left sideshows a initial fire in a paper stock.
Because of the early recognition andwarning fire fighting is started instantly witha high efficiency – ecological and material
damages are avoided.
