Actually they are smoke detectors, they detect the result of the fire, smoke. A smoke detector works as follows: There is a chamber with a small nuclear source in it. Smoke particles are hit by the radiation and are ionized, ie, an electron is knocked off the particle leaving the particle with a charge on it. The chamber has two parallel plates in it with a voltage across the plates. The ionized particles are attracted to one of the plates, causing an electric current to flow. This current is amplified and detected and sets off the alarm.

What is leak detecter pump solenoid?

A leak detector pump solenoid is an electrically controlled valve used in vapor-leak detection systems, commonly found in vehicle EVAP systems. It opens and closes to create pressure or vacuum in the system so sensors can check for leaks in hoses, tanks, and canisters. By controlling airflow, it helps identify even small vapor leaks during diagnostic tests. You can find related leak detectors and solenoid parts through Enrgtech.
