Valor Fire Safety's ESP Advanced Smoke Detection

May 28, 2013
New technology delivers faster and more reliable smoke detection

Londonderry, NH - Valor Fire Safety, LLC will introduce its External Sampling Photoelectric (ESP) Advanced Smoke Detection on June 10th -12th at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Conference & Expo in Chicago. ESP Advanced Detection eliminates the smoke entry lag time associated with conventional ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors by directly measuring the ambient smoke concentration outside the detector. The technology delivers faster and more reliable detection in residential and commercial buildings.

Over the past year, Valor Fire Safety has been conducting extensive testing at Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Fire Science Laboratory. Results conclude that ESP Advanced Detection activates more quickly to both flaming and smoldering fires than ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors. It also activated to cooking sources only when fire was imminent. Valor Fire Safety Co-Founder & Senior Vice President Jeffrey Silvestro explained that smoke detectors equipped with the technology are smaller in size and could be similar in cost to standard photoelectric smoke detectors.

“Fires have become more dangerous with the widespread use of synthetic materials in home and furniture construction,” said Silvestro. “Our detector’s level of performance has yielded positive results throughout testing and most importantly is attainable at a reasonable price point.”

The organization is seeking a manufacturing partner to bring its patent-pending technology to
market. “Valor Fire Safety will license ESP Advanced Detection to industry-leading smoke detector manufacturers to enable a much faster market penetration than a traditional start-up manufacturing firm,” stated Co-Founder & President Matthew Erdtmann, PhD. “The NFPA Conference & Expo is the ideal venue to introduce this technology to the public and the fire
protection industry.”
