Linear heat detection

Have you ever driven through a tunnel wondering what would happen if a fire suddenly broke out? What would you do? Push the claustrophobic feeling away and speed up a bit? Read more

The LIOS DE.TECT fiber optic linear heat detection system from NKT Photonics has been installed in the Eisenhower Tunnel where it accurately monitors the temperature in the two tunnel bores 24 hours a day. The high spatial resolution and temperature sensitivity enable fast and accurate detection of a fire in the tunnel. Read more

Tunnels are sensitive traffic bottlenecks and consequently extraordinary vulnerable in case of accidents or fire blasts. With life-threatening dangers and enormous economic consequences, these tunnels are obvious subjects for technical solutions of prevention and limitation of damage. Read more
