Fire detection using smoke and gas sensors

Experiment investigation on the influence of low pressure on ceiling temperature profile in aircraft cargo compartment fires

“…Early and accurate detection is of significance, especially for the inaccessible areas of the aircraft, such as cargo compartments, where a direct visual inspection is not possible during flight [2]. For the selection of multi-sensor detection methods [3], it is particularly critical to identify the ceiling temperature profile especially for small fires. It should be noted that the aircraft cargo compartment is a flat long and narrow closed compartment and the atmosphere pressure inside changes from 100 kPa to 70 kPa corresponding to the sea level and cruising altitude respectively.…”

On a Controlled Random Deployment WSN-Based Monitoring System Allowing Fault Detection and Replacement

“…A solution based on DRAM can be built using the aforementioned 3-layer architecture, where we assume that detection is not made on image processing to detect energy related faults [15].…”

Development of a Smart Residential Fire Protection System

“…In other words, the amount of CO present in the detected smoke is a determining factor for fire detection, fire extinguishing system activation, and subsequent notification calls. Various other algorithms for similar kind of sensor integration for fire detection are available in the literature (see [3,6] among others). In the developed residential fire detection and extinguishing system presented herein the corresponding sensor triggers the alarm when threshold value is reached (as depicted in Figure 1).…”

“…In many cases, smoke alarms are combined with other detection technologies (such as gas and heat sensors) to ensure an efficient and reliable detection of the early indicators of fire occurrence [3][4][5][6]. For extra protection against fire, however, in addition to smoke alarms, installation of fire sprinklers is recommended.…”
