Abstract
In modern fire protection and control systems, detectors are increasingly being used as interactive equipment for sensing fire signatures. In this report current state-of-the-art in fire detection technology is reviewed considering the nature of fire signatures, detection modes used, performance requirements and code requirements. A smoke-heat sensor unit; consisting of a photo electric type smoke sensor and a thermistor used as heat sensor is designed. Functional applications of a heat-smoke sensor are also discussed. The last section reviews the basic consideration for design of a fire alarm system. System performance is also briefly considered. An extensive bibliography is provided.
