X Innovative ASAtechnology from Siemens How fire detectors work A fire detector aims to reliably measure critical levels of smoke or heat. However, due to the nature of certain applications, deceptive phenomena such as steam, dust or smoke may cause false alarms. For example, it is difficult for some fire detectors to distinguish between heat and smoke emissions from a welding device and a smoldering fire.
X Innovative ASAtechnology from Siemens ASAtechnology explained ASAtechnology™ (ASA = Advanced Signal Analysis) uses sophisticated algorithms that dynamically combine and interpret multiple signals in real time. This makes detectors with ASAtechnology immune to deceptive phenomena that would normally trigger a false alarm. As a result, they prevent unnecessary downtimes and costs caused by false alarms.
X ASAtechnology – Multi-sensor. High intelligence.

X The basics of a fire Any fire requires the presence of each of the following components to burn: Oxygen Heat Combustibles Removal of any of these three elements will extinguish the fire. Based on this principle, automated extinguishing systems focus on the removal of oxygen or heat.
X Reduction of oxygen If the oxygen concentration drops below 13 vol%, the combustion process stops and the fire goes out. Siemens has a wide range of extinguishing solutions with natural agents (nitrogen, argon or carbon dioxide) based on this principle. In addition, water can be used to cool down the fire and thus remove the heat.
X Reduction of heat The reduction of heat will stop the combustion process and thus extinguish the fire. This can be done using either chemical agents or water. When chemical agents react with the fire, the heat is absorbed, which in turn lowers the temperature to a level where the fire cannot burn. Combustibles Click on one of the components to learn more about how to extinguish a fire When water is applied to the fire it evaporates due to the heat.
X Removal of combustibles As long as there are combustible elements, the fire will burn. If the combustibles were removed, the fire would go out. However, in most cases this is impossible. This is why Siemens offers extinguishing systems focusing on the other two aspects: reducing either oxygen or heat.
