ABSTRACT:
A fire detection system cross correlates the responses of a temperature and smoke sensing units to achieve early-detection characteristics. The system also performs threshold-type detection on the smoke obscuration, temperature, and rate of temperature rise. If any of the thresholds are surpassed, the same alarm condition will be set. As a result, the detection characteristics of the resulting detector can be no worse than the conventional threshold-only systems. The system advantageously, however, provides for the early detection of fires that satisfy the cross correlation characteristics. Thus, it achieves the best performance characteristics of both approaches.
