Fixed Temperature Heat Detector: Reliable Fire Detection for Safety Systems
A Fixed Temperature Heat Detector is a critical fire safety device designed to sense a specific preset temperature and activate an alarm once that threshold is exceeded. Unlike smoke detectors, which detect airborne particles, fixed temperature detectors respond to rising heat levels, making them ideal for dusty, smoky, or harsh environments where smoke detection might produce false alarms.
What is a Fixed Temperature Heat Detector?
A Fixed Temperature Heat Detector operates by monitoring the ambient air temperature and triggering an alert when it reaches a predetermined setpoint, such as 135°F (57°C) or 194°F (90°C), depending on the application. These detectors may use bimetallic strips, eutectic alloy fuses, or thermistors to sense temperature changes.
How It Works
Temperature Sensing Element: Detects ambient heat.
Threshold Mechanism: Activates the alarm when the preset temperature is exceeded.
