FIXED HEAT
DETECTORS
58 OR 82
|
A Fixed Heat is recommended
due to the possible rapid changes in room temperatures.
Use of 58° C or 82° C depends on normal ambient
temperature expected. |
| Car Parks |
RATE OF RISE
|
Smoke Detectors would be activated
by vehicle exhaust fumes. |
| Kitchen |
FIXED HEAT
|
Due to the heat that can be
produced by cooking appliances, the higher temperature
detector should be fitted |
| Loading Bays |
RATE OF RISE
|
Smoke Detectors would be activated
by vehicle exhaust fumes. |
| Furnace / Kiln Rooms |
FIXED HEAT
|
High temperatures can be present
which can rapidly change, thus making the Rate of Rise
unsuitable. |
| 1 |
In Computer Rooms as unacceptable losses
can be caused by small fires which may not convect the
fire product to the detector rapidly in order to operate
an alarm and start effective fire fighting. |
| 2 |
Where ceiling heights exceed
the following :
Heat Detectors Rate of Rise - 9.0m
Heat Detectors Fixed Temperature - 7.5m
High Temperature Heat Detectors 90 Degrees C - 6.0m
|
- 9.0m
- 7.5m
- 6.0m
|
| 3 |
Do not use Rate of Rise Heat Detectors where
the temperature can change rapidly |
| The above information is only guide. When designing
a system all matters must be considered ie: room type, contents
and your country standards (ie: British and European), to determine
the type of detector required. |
