Heat Detector
Heat Detectors detect abnormally high temperatures in the protected area, which are assumed to be the outcome of a fire. Various techniques are used to differentiate between heat produced by a fire and heat increases caused by expected conditions in the area. Flame or smoke detectors typically respond faster to a fire than heat detectors. However, non-electronic heat detectors (such as our Model T300) are thought to be the most reliable fire reporting device and are thus frequently used as backups for other fire detectors.
Function
Instead of sensing smoke, heat detectors are made to detect high temperatures. When the temperature in their immediate proximity climbs above a set threshold, they sound an alarm to alert others to the possibility of a fire or a major temperature increase. Heat detectors are used to identify temperature increases in buildings or other locations as a precursor to fire. They can be installed as a component of a conventional or addressable fire alarm system. There are also wireless detectors available, which facilitate and expedite installation. A visual indication and/or an alarm sounder are optional features for detectors.Heat Detector Types
-
Heat detectors are commonly used in areas where smoke detectors may not be suitable due to the presence of dust, smoke, or other airborne particles that could cause false alarms.
-
They are often installed in environments with high levels of humidity, dust, or fumes, such as kitchens, garages, attics, and mechanical rooms.
-
Heat detectors are also used in outdoor settings or harsh environments where smoke detectors may not be effective or reliable.

Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors
When the surrounding air temperature approaches or exceeds a set threshold, fixed temperature heat detectors are meant to react. They usually have an element that is heat-sensitive, such as a mechanical switch or a fusible alloy, which, when heated, sets off the alarm. The temperature threshold at which these detectors become active is usually between 135°F and 190°F (57°C and 88°C). Once triggered, they remain in alarm mode until manually reset."Rate-of-Rise Heat Detectors
Instead of waiting for a temperature to reach a predetermined threshold, rate-of-rise heat detectors are made to detect sudden rises in temperature. A thermistor or bimetallic strip is one type of mechanism found in these detectors that reacts to temperature changes by sounding an alert if the rate of rise in temperature beyond a preset threshold. The temperature rises quickly enough to trigger these detectors, usually between 12°F and 15°F (6.7°C and 8.3°C) each minute. There is likely a fire because of this sudden rise in temperature.Combination Detectors
Some heat detectors combine both fixed temperature and rate-of-rise features for enhanced detection capabilities.Applications
