| Abstract |
The authors studied and compared 3 different models of smoke detector: ionisation chamber, incident-light beam, and diffused-light beam detectors. The detector's sensitivity depends on a number of parameters, in particular smoke dispersion, detector design, building geometry and the type of fire hazard. To determine the sensitivity of an instrument, tests must be carried out with a number of types of smoke. Consequently, standardisation of tests and test set-ups would be desirable, as would be the development of a reproducible standard aerosol. |
