Heat detectors do not melt; instead, they typically use a bimetallic strip or a thermistor that responds to changes in temperature. When the ambient temperature reaches a specific threshold, the detector activates an alarm. Some types of heat detectors may have components that can be damaged by extreme heat, but they are designed to function within a certain temperature range.

Who invented the first Heat detector?

The first electric fire detector was developed in Brooklyn, NY in 1863 by Alexander Ross, however the first electric fire sensor to see commercial use was designed by another New Yorker, William B. Watkins. By the early 1870's, Watkins had developed remotely monitored fire alarm systems using heat detectors and in 1873 formed the first private fire alarm company (Boston AFA) which surivives to this day as AFA Automatic Fire Alarm) Protective Systems.

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.
