Fire Alarm In Chicken Shed

Featured Replies

I have been asked to look at putting a fire alarm in a checken shed, wherehouse size ones. Has anyone got any good suggestions?

I thought about end to end beams but still not sure about the dust aspect. The only other thought so far is heat detection but would be slow to respond. Either liner cable or point detection.

Has anyone done this type of building before?

That looks good, I had thought the aspirating kit would block there filters but it looks like they get round that problem. Have you used there kit at all?

Several ships I worked on used an aspirating smoke detection system in the holds, connected to the C02 injection system. One unit at the back of a 330m ship for all 10 holds. I think the maintenance schedule was to clean the filters every 12 months, but it would fault if they blocked.

I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:

We've installed the Xtralis Osid detection and seems a good piece of kit. It can tell the difference between smoke and dust so no false alarms from dust etc
