They detect heat instead of smoke.
They are widely used in boiler houses, kitchens where a lot of steam and smoke is created. If a smoke detector was installed in this application, then there would be a lot of false alarms. So instead, they detect the heat intensity of a fire which will set off the fire alarm. They are also less likey to be set off by accident. Spiders, dust, deodrant etc sets off smoke detectors quite frequently. this does not happen in heat detectors.
What else can I help you with?
What is the distance between heat detectors?
5M Detector to Detector
Do pets cause interference with ademco heat detectors?
I am not personally familiar with the ademco heat detector, but I have done some research and have found that this head detector is pet immune, and pets do not cause interference with this heat detector security system.
How far is Ottawa from Vancouver appoximately?
first optical smoke / heat detector to second optical smoke/heat detector maximum distance.
What are the benefits of owning a heat detector?
A heat detector is a good addition to the smoke alarm. It will help to detect a heat source that is growing in case the smoke alarm in the home is not functioning.
What is the most sensitive heat detector?
A Bolometer.
Can you use a heat detector in dried sauna?
no
What happend when a convection current detector came near a heat source?
When a convection current detector comes near a heat source, it will detect the movement of air or fluid caused by the temperature difference. This movement creates a convection current around the heat source, which the detector can measure to indicate the presence and intensity of the heat source.
What might happen if an insect got into a heat detector?
The insect would cause distruption for the heat detector and it would stop working. Oh also the insect dies...LOL
What is a heat detector?
A heat detector is a device designed to sense a significant increase in temperature, typically above a certain threshold. It is commonly used in fire alarm systems to detect fires in areas where smoke detectors may not be suitable, such as kitchens or areas with excessive dust. When the temperature rise is detected, the heat detector triggers an alarm to alert occupants of potential fire hazards.
What is the detector?
Any device that detects smoke or heat and that sounds an alarm.
What happen when the convention current detector came near a heat source?
When a convention current detector comes near a heat source, it typically detects an increase in temperature due to the heat generated by the source. This change in temperature can cause a variation in the electrical resistance or current within the detector, potentially triggering an indication of the convection currents produced by the heat. As warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it, the detector may register changes in air movement or temperature gradients, providing insight into the convection process occurring around the heat source.
What is the fire detector?
Any device that detects smoke or heat and that sounds an alarm.
