(Carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems) Where a room or process being protected requires a large number of heat detectors, it is undesirable to connect all of them together. Should they be all connected together then the air in the detectors subjected to the fire condition can expand into the other detectors and detection will be sluggish. For this reason, when installation requires a large number of heat detectors in a room or process, they are subdivided through the use of mercury checks. These checks regulate air pressures from different banks of heat detectors. 1, record 12, English, - mercury%20check

... a preaction sprinkler system may be designed to reduce accidental tripping of the water supply valve by cross-zoning smoke detectors within a zone. Cross-zoning requires the activation of two smoke detectors before water is released into the dry pipe system. Upon the activation of the first smoke detector an alarm is sounded in the control room to warn staff of the situation so that they may react without delay, and possibly manage the fire by hand, and therefore prevent water release into the system. 1, record 15, English, - cross%2Dzoning

Safety is to be improved at the Homer Tunnel.... There is only enough room for one bus at a time, the tunnel is not lit and there is no emergency phone within the tunnel itself. Sunday's fire, although an unusual incident, is now raising wider issues for Transit including whether to make the tunnel two way. But tour operators say traffic flow was not to blame.

D'autres aspects, tels la sécurité et l'entretien, doivent également être discutés en corrélation avec une seconde galerie.

C'est ainsi que le nombre d'accidents recensés au tunnel du Seelisberg est inférieur de moitié à celui enregistré au tunnel du Gothard.

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 29, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
