Specialists from the Giricond Research Institute in St. Petersburg have completed the development of a new line of domestic multi-range flame detectors called "Nabat."
The new devices are capable of detecting a fire at a distance of up to 50 meters in 6 seconds. The detectors detect the combustion of not only standard carbon-containing substances, but also chemical compounds such as hydrogen, ammonia, hydrazines, and sulfur, which is especially important for chemical industry facilities.
The Nabat model range is designed for the phased replacement of foreign analogues previously used at strategically important enterprises. The developers note that the detectors are integrated into automatic fire extinguishing systems, transmitting a fire alarm with the exact coordinates to the operator's console. Thanks to the use of multi-spectral infrared photodetectors of Russian production, the devices ensure high reliability of operation.
The devices have been designed to meet the requirements of explosion-proof equipment for industrial use. They are adapted to harsh climatic conditions: built-in heating allows them to be used at temperatures down to -60 °C, which makes them effective in arctic regions and remote facilities.
The new line is intended both for equipping newly constructed oil and gas and chemical industry facilities, and for replacing outdated imported systems at existing enterprises. This solution increases Russia's technological independence in the field of industrial safety and reduces critical dependence on foreign suppliers.
