Speed & integrity

Gent by Honeywell has supplied its fire alarm and detection system to Brains Brewery's flagship production plant in Cardiff. Mechanical and electrical engineers JW Morris are said to have designed the most efficient, cost effective solution using a fully addressable Gent system, including the S-Quad range.

Each of these devices has up to four different functions - sensor, sounder, strobe and speech - and uses patented dual angle optical scatter smoke detection to improve the speed and integrity of fire detection.

Brains Brewery's Keith Gorf said: "Now if we have a fire alarm situation, we go straight to the device and can detect the problem and deal with it.

For example, if it's a steam leak, we can reset the system knowing exactly what the issue is."
