Aspirating Smoke Detector Filters
An Aspirating Smoke Detector ("ASD") is an electromechanical device and type of active smoke detection that draws air in through a network of pipes through a filter and into a sensing chamber to detect smoke. The smoke sensing chamber of an aspirating smoke detector is a nephelometer, a device that measures the reflection and refraction of particles (including smoke) in air from a light beam. The filter in an aspirating smoke detector removes large airborne particles leaving smoke and smaller particles to enter the smoke sensing chamber.
