Types of Fire Detection Systems

Making sure that the fire is detected as soon as possible is one of the most crucial aspects in battling it effectively. When a fire is detected early, fire suppression systems can react more quickly and enable building occupants to safely evacuate the structure sooner. There are various detection techniques to pick from when it comes to fire detection. Heat, smoke, and flame detection are the three primary methods of detecting fires that people make use of today. Here, with Filcom, find out the various types of fire notifying devices in Qatar which you can get for yourself. Read on!

Heat Detection:

When a fire breaks out and raises the local temperature, heat detectors are triggered. The heat detectors are triggered when the surrounding temperature reaches a predetermined level. Heat detectors can identify a fire more slowly than other types of detection, but they often have fewer false alarms. Heat detectors work best in unoccupied spaces and in situations that are difficult for smoke detectors to detect, such steamy, humid, or dusty ones.

Smoke Detection:

When a fire produces smoke, smoke alarms detect this smoke and alarms go off. Smoke is detected by a variety of smoke detector types using various techniques.

Ionization:

Ionization detectors work by producing an electric current between two electrodes using radioactive material. When smoke is produced by a fire, it interferes with ionization and sets off the alarm. These kinds of smoke detectors work well for spotting quickly spreading flames.

Photoelectric:

These alarms detect smoke using a light beam. The detectors are triggered when fire smoke particles pass through the beam. This kind of detector rarely triggers false alarms and is dependable. Photoelectric detectors are effective in detecting small, simmering flames.

Combination:

Combination detectors can distinguish between simmering and fast-burning fires by utilizing technologies from both photoelectric and ionization detectors.

Aspirating Smoke Detectors:

When the amount of smoke particles in the air climbs over normal levels, this kind of detector detects it by sampling and testing the particle levels in the air. Since the fire may be identified before it causes damage, this sort of smoke detector is resistant to false alarms and performs well around sensitive equipment.

Flame Detection:

When there are flames present, flame detectors are used to find the fire. UV and/or infrared detectors are used in this kind of fire detection to recognise flames and sound an alarm.
