Each
property whether residential or commercial requires fire protection
system. There are variety of fire suppression systems such as fire extinguishers fire
sprinkler system
and
more. However, before the fire can be taken care of it needs to be
detected. It is when the fire is detected they can be prevented
through the fire sprinkler systems.
Two
basic components of a fire are the heat and smoke. These two are also
the reasons why fire is so dangerous. It is through these two
elements that the fire is actually detected. Here are the ways to
detect the fire in the commercial places and ensure the safety of the
occupants:
Ionization
One
fire detection system that focuses on the smoke elements is the
ionization system. The presence of the fire is detected by these
systems through the smoke. The ionization fire detectors have two
metal plates in them that have electrical current running through
them . In case of fire, when smoke reaches the chamber, the
electrical current gets cuts off and alarm blares turning on the fire
sprinkler systems. These
systems are perfect for the places such as commercial kitchens where
fires can quickly spread.
Photoelectric
The
Photoelectric fire detector systems are similar to ionization
detection system as they also detect the fire through smoke. However,
the major difference between the two systems is of the way how they
detect the fire. The Photoelectric fire detector systems uses light.
When the smoke enters the room, it disrupts the beams of light that
the detectors project. This leads to alarm blaring and fire
sprinkler systems
turning
on. The benefits of these systems is that it has ability to detect
small fires and are rarely trigger the false alarm.
Heat
To
detect the fire through heat is tough and extremely hazardous. The
heat based fire detectors are less sensitive than the other detection
systems and are most preferred in commercial buildings as they rarely
trigger false alarm. The system with all its benefits also has
drawbacks in the area where there is humidity, dust or huge amount of
steam. Warehouses and storage facilities are right places for these
detection system.
