RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- February 2025 : Teledyne Technologies Incorporated introduced the Spyglass Xtend triple-infrared flame detector, capable of simultaneously detecting both hydrogen (H2) and hydrocarbon (HC) fires. This innovation enhances safety in industrial environments where hydrogen flames may spread to nearby equipment and trigger hydrocarbon fuel fires, which are invisible to detectors designed only for H2.
- December 2024 : Siemens completed the acquisition of Danfoss Fire Safety, a Denmark-based specialist in fire suppression technology. This acquisition enhanced Siemens’ fire suppression portfolio with high-pressure water mist, drives growth in key industries, and supports the transition toward sustainable fire safety solutions.
- September 2024 : Johnson Controls launched the Tyco ESFR-25 Dry-Type Pendent Sprinkler, FM Approved for efficient fire protection in commercial refrigerated and frozen storage areas. Designed for cold storage environments up to 50 ft (15.2 m) high with temperatures as low as -60°F (-51°C), the ceiling-only, lower-pressure sprinkler reduces the need for fire pumps and eliminates in-rack sprinklers for high-piled storage in box-in-box applications
