FIRE DETECTION
We Supply Fire Safety Specialists with Mechanical Heat Detectors for Use in Overheat Alarm and Fire Suppression Systems
We provide fire safety companies with heat detectors as part of a new fire detection system or as a service replacement part. Our heat detectors are predominantly used for oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, storage tanks and industrial and production facilities.
We also work with OEMs of fire suppression systems designed for multiple applications including food processing, power generation and rail transportation.
Our thermal detectors are manufactured by Fenwal Controls (part of KiddeFenwal) in the US. As their European master distributor, we supply over 10,000 heat detectors every year, predominantly to customers based in the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

Recommendations on Model Type and Materials
Since heat detectors form an essential component in a fire safety system, it is essential that they are specified correctly.
We've been supplying Fenwal heat detectors for 25 years so we know their products well. We ensure that all of the selection criteria are considered, not just the activation temperature. This might include recommendations for special materials, coatings or protective housings depending on the application.

Advice on Certification and International Approvals
We understand the importance of meeting mandatory standards, regulations and compliance, especially when a heat detector is used in a hazardous area.
We can suggest ways to protect a detector to meet ATEX / IECEx approval by supplying an additional explosion-proof housing. A certificate of conformity can be supplied on request. Documentation for other certification such as SIL 2 can also be provided.

Supplying Standard and Customised Fire Detectors
We stock the most popular heat detectors from Fenwal Controls in our UK warehouse. These are available for immediate dispatch to fire safety engineers across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
The heat detectors we provide to OEMs are often customised to ensure they are operate effectively within their fire suppression systems. We provide support from initial design through testing to final production.

Thermal Detection for Industrial, Process and Energy Infrastructure
Effective Overheat Detection for Oil and Gas Platforms
Mechancial heat detectors from Fenwal Controls are frequently specified for use on oil and gas platforms internationally.
The Detect-A-Fire range combines a rate-compensated method to precisely detect a rise in air temperature during both fast-rate and slow-rate fires.
A marine-grade alloy is always specified for offshore use to provide corrosion-resistance from long-term exposure to salt water.

Fire Suppression for Industrial and Process Facilities
We supply Fenwal heat detectors for new and existing industrial facilities such as energy and processing plants.
Specialist detectors are also supplied for hazardous, explosive or aggressive environments, including chemical plants, power plants, waste treatment plants and printing plants.
These environments require additional measures to protect the detector and its electronics from corrosion or damage during an explosion.

Fire Detection for UK Lighthouse
Perhaps one of the most unusual properties protected by a Fenwal heat detector is the Needles Lighthouse off the Isle of Wight, UK.
As part of a refurbishment by Trinity House in 2023, a new fire suppression system was installed including two marine grade Detect-a-Fire heat detectors designed to activate at a temperature of 88°C.
