Heat detector

Introduction to Heat Detectors

  • Heat detectors are fire safety devices that respond to significant increases in temperature, signaling potential fire conditions. They are essential for environments where smoke detectors might give false alarms, such as kitchens and garages.

Working Principle:

  • Heat detectors operate by sensing temperature changes. There are two main types: fixed temperature and rate-of-rise detectors.
  1. Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors: These activate an alarm when the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined threshold, typically around 135°F (57°C).
  2. Rate-of-Rise Heat Detectors: These detect rapid increases in temperature, generally a rise of 15°F (8.3°C) per minute, regardless of the initial temperature, and trigger an alarm.

Applications:

  • Residential Buildings: Installed in kitchens, attics, and garages where smoke detectors may not be suitable.
  • Commercial Buildings: Used in areas like boiler rooms and mechanical spaces.
  • Industrial Facilities: Protects environments with high dust or chemical presence, such as manufacturing plants and warehouses.
  • Public Spaces: Ensures fire safety in places like cafeterias, gyms, and auditoriums.
  • Historical Buildings: Used in settings where smoke detectors might damage sensitive artifacts.
