Are you worried about an uninvited fire which could cause harm to
your family and property? Do you want to protect your family, however, are
confused about how you can achieve this goal for their safety. No worries, heat
detector is something that would reduce your tension and reduce the percentage
of danger that could happen after a sudden fire attack. Get heat detectors installed on the ceilings of your home and get alert as soon as the temperature of the room increases due to the heating of heat sensitive materials, which may even cause a fire.
Basically, heat detector is that part of the fire alarm system which alerts the occupants from the danger of possible fire. Do not get confused with heat detector and smoke detectors. As both are the part of the fire alarm panel and the end function of both the detectors is the same i.e. to detect upcoming fire. However, both works with a different mechanism. Heat detectors work by detecting the thermal lag or a bump up in the thermal temperature of the premises whereas smoke detector functions when the smoke from the fire starts traveling to the detector.
As the fire is to be burst out, the air starts becoming hot which eventually gives rise in the temperature of the surrounding, and this hot air enters the sensor chamber of the heat detector. When the hot air travels in the chamber it gives rise in the temperature of the chamber that directly sends an alert to the integrated circuit. This leads the alarm to produce an announcing sound depicting the occupants about the dangerous fire to occur.
Methods used by heat detectors to measure the temperature increase in the room are depicted under:
First one is predicting the presence of heat by a rate of rising technique which involves the mechanism of a rapid increase in the ambient temperature over a period of time even more than the rate of heat-detector level changes and the alarm start producing sound to alert the occupants inside.
The second method is depicting upcoming fire with smoke detectors is fixed temperature and above this fixed temperature, if the thermal lag jumps, the alarm starts beeping indicating the people inside to come out.
An important point to be noted: The principle of designing a heat detector is to provide safety to the people by notifying them from upcoming dangers. The life span of a heat detector is 8 to 10 years which is the maximum of duration during with the heat detector could work efficiently and after that, it is mandatory to replace it with the new one. Though periodic testing and maintenance are necessary to detect any mishappening or defect in the heat detector.
