AIRSENSE TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCES UL LISTED CPVC ASPIRATING SMOKE DETECTION SAMPLING PIPE
AirSense Technology formally received UL Listing on its Stratos® CPVC aspirating smoke detection sampling pipe. The CPVC sampling pipe bears the markings 'Stratos Smoke Detection Sampling Pipe - Do Not Disturb' at intervals along it's length in accordance with NFPA 72 guidelines.
This was a strategic move for AirSense Technology as standard CPVC pipe, such as Blazemaster, is only UL listed "Wet", meaning it must have water within the pipe to maintain it's UL Listing. This presented a problem, specifically in plenum spaces, where a UL Listed plenum rating is required by most jurisdictions said Steven Joseph, Director of Sales North America for AirSense Technology. We now have a pipe we can offer which accomplishes meeting jurisdictional requirements and provides convenience for our customer's, eliminating the need to place adhesive labels along the pipe network during installation.
Stratos CPVC Sampling Pipe is sold in packaged quantities of 225 ft., is in stock and available for immediate delivery.
AirSense Technology continues to offer its unique red ABS 3/4" sampling pipe and fittings. Due to its chemical properties ABS is an ideal material suitable for applications where the environment is below 0° Fahrenheit, such as frozen storages.
CPVC becomes brittle at temperatures below 0° Fahrenheit and can become problematic in hostile environments subject to low temperatures.
AirSense Stratos red ABS pipe also comes pre-printed bearing the markings 'Stratos Smoke Detection Sampling Pipe - Do Not Disturb' at intervals along it's length in accordance with NFPA 72 guidelines, relieving the installer of manually placing adhesive labels.

AIRSENSE TECHNOLOGY STRATOS-MICRA 100® RECEIVES UL LISTING
AirSense Technology formally received UL Listing on its Stratos-Micra 100 Aspirating Smoke Detector, completing its line-up of aspirating smoke detectors which are suitable for a wide range of applications and foot print.
All Stratos series detectors are of identical sensitivity capability, but vary in the recommended amount of sampling pipe and area of coverage.
The Stratos-Micra 100 detector is designed to compliment the AirSense range of aspirating detectors. Now the concept has been extended to permit a maximum recommended sampling pipe length of 320 feet (100 meters) and as many as 50 sample ports.
The Micra 100 is fully compatible with all other Stratos detectors and ancillary devices, such as remote bargraph displays and the Command Module, for interconnection of large quantities of Stratos detection devices. All Stratos series detectors use the acclaimed combination of laser forward light scattering and the unique Perceptive Artificial Intelligence system - ClassiFire® which continually optimizes sensitivity to account for fluctuations in ambient conditions.

HIGH DENSITY IN-ROW COOLING SYSTEMS AND RELATIVE SENSITIVITY BASED FIRE DETECTION
PTS Data Center Solutions of New Jersey has recently conducted a study on Relative Sensitivity based Fire Detection Systems used in High Density Computer Rooms with In-Row Air Conditioning Units.
Relative Sensitivity is a function of all Stratos series detectors and is a patented feature known as ClassiFire. ClassiFire automatically ensures optimum sensitivity regardless of changing ambient conditions.
A growing trend in datacenter and computer room construction is the use of in-row air conditions units. This method of cooling, while efficient, poses a new challenge for traditional spot-type detection systems and aspirating smoke detection systems that utilize fixed sensitivity.
Fixed sensitivity type aspirating smoke detection systems are prone to either being too sensitive or not sensitive enough in these environments which are subject to drifts in ambient levels due to heat loading, cycling and varying air velocities.
