A CHA … consists of two metal hemispheres. One hemisphere being shaped concave, and the other convex. They are arranged such that their centres of curvature are coincident … Different voltages are placed on each hemisphere such that there is an electric field between the two hemispheres. Electrons are injected into the gap between the hemispheres. If the electrons are travelling very fast, they will impinge on the outer hemisphere. If they are travelling very slow, they will be attracted to the inner hemisphere. Hence only electrons in a narrow energy region(called the pass energy) succeed in getting all the way round the hemispheres to the detector. 4, record 5, English, - concentric%20hemispherical%20analyzer

A self-powered neutron detector has a neutron-sensitive emitter, a collector enclosing this emitter and insulation between these two components. When irradiated by neutrons, the emitter generates Compton electrons so that a current is produced between the emitter and electrode and which may be used with a current-measuring device to provide a readout. The emitter is enclosed and electrically connected with a metal which is substantially neutron-insensitive so that the detector provides a substantially true and prompt signal accurately reflecting the neutron flux density received by the detector. 1, record 6, English, - shielded%2Demitter%20neutron%20detector

A pneumatic rate-of-rise spot detector consists of a small dome-shaped air chamber with a flexible metal diaphragm in the base. A small metering hole allows air to enter and exit the chamber during normal rise and fall of atmospheric temperature and barometric pressure. In the heat of a fire, however, the air within the chamber expands faster than it can escape through the metering hole. This expansion causes the pressure within the chamber to increase, forcing the metal diaphragm against contact points in the alarm circuit. An alarm signal to the system control unit results. This type of detector is most often combined in one unit that also has fixed-temperature capability. 1, record 9, English, - pneumatic%20rate%2Dof%2Drise%20spot%20detector

Le détecteur ponctuel thermovélocimétrique pneumatique est constitué d'une petite chambre aérothermique en forme de dôme et d'un diaphragme en métal flexible situé dans la base. Un petit trou permet à l'air d'entrer et de sortir de la chambre aérothermique lors des fluctuations normales de la température et de la pression barométrique. Toutefois, sous l'effet de la chaleur dégagée par un incendie, l'air qui se trouve dans la chambre aérothermique se dilate plus rapidement et ne peut pas s'échapper par le trou. Cette dilatation entraîne une augmentation de la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre aérothermique et force le diaphragme de métal à toucher les points de contact du circuit d'alarme. Un signal d'alarme est alors déclenché à l'unité de contrôle du système. Ce type de déclencheur est souvent combiné à un dispositif qui est également thermostatique. 1, record 9, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20ponctuel%20thermov%C3%A9locim%C3%A9trique%20pneumatique

Flame Emissivity Detector. Another detector based on monitoring a specific property of a flame, its emissivity, was developed by Grant, who mixed coal gas in constant proportions with the effluent from a chromatographic column; this coal gas/effluent mixture burned at a wide stainless steel jet. The emissivity of the flame, changing as the flame's carbon content is varied, is measured with the aid of a metal reflector, glass condensing lens, and selenium photocell; these are held in place from each other at their proper optical distances.... For low background emissivity values, response is nonlinear. However, by controlling the coal gas flow rate to maintain emissivity between 0. 60 and 0. 80 mV, detector response is linear over a wide temperature range. 1, record 14, English, - flame%20emissivity%20detector

For the determination of combustible components of organic origin in gas chromatographic effluents, various principles of detection based on flame reactions have been utilized, namely, the hydrogen flame temperature, flame emissivity, and flame ionization detectors. In all reported systems, specific flame properties were monitored. Whereas Scott measured the flame temperature of the exit gas at a small jet and Grant the flame’s emissivity by optical means, Mc William and Dewar and Harley et al. advanced new detection concepts based on the electrical or ionization properties of hydrogen/oxygen flames. 1, record 14, English, - flame%20emissivity%20detector
