What is the heat detector?

Heat detector is a device used to warn people of possible fire. These alarms are designed to go out when a certain temperature is met, or when the room temperature rises at a certain speed. Kitchens and cabinets are areas that can benefit from installing heat detector, as smoke detectors are not suitable for these types of spaces. Although they are not intended to replace smoke detectors, heat detectors are a useful additional form of fire detection. These detectors are particularly useful if the fire grows rapidly or explosive. If the room temperature rises rapidly, this type of alarm will be triggered. Many modern heat detectors are also designed to ignore the temperature change, as if it was due to the opening of the oven door. These detectors work well in cold areas. However, slowly growing fires do not have to trigger this type of alarm system.

6 The metal component on the heat detector is designed to melt at a certain temperature, causing the sound of the alarm. The melting temperature of this component is set to 117 degrees Fahrenheit (47 ° C) or higher and the device is designed to function without energy source. Meanwhile, when the room temperature reaches the melting point of the alarm and when the temperature in the thermal detector causes the device to melt. This type of fire safety is the most useful in warning against slow -breating fires.

Heat detector is not designed for use as the only fire in the building. The vast majority of fires are detected faster in smoke detectors than in heat detectors. The combination of two types of equipment can provide the most reliable fire alert system for the house or other type of building.
