Automatic Fire Detection Device – Types & Their Functionality
Knowing the importance of early detection of fire, the invention, and development of automatic detection systems have moved a mile towards perfection. Lucky are we to be in this era of development where advancement is reaching a zenith in almost every field of research. Benefited from this ongoing research and development are the devices so produced under the segment of the automatic fire detection devices. These devices can be classified as the detectors, the control panel, the alarm, the suppression agent, and the delivery system. Here we are to discuss, predominantly the basics and understanding the working principle of automatic fire detection devices : 1. Heat Detectors The detection of an unusual rise in the temperature may cause the triggering of the alarm. However, false alarms too can be triggered by catching the rise of temperature when not even needed. 2. Smoke Detectors Detecting smoke arising out of the fire is the basics behind its working. Smoke detectors can ...
