The pipes of a VESDA smoke detection system are installed at the air intake of the air conditioner inside the computer room. Is this a good practice from an early smoke detection point of view?

A : It depends on the type of gas-based fire suppression which will be installed.

B : Yes, as this reduces the amount of piping to be installed in the data center, as all air will go through the air conditioner.
