Dry pipe, preaction, time delayed, recycling type system that automatically shuts the water off when heat is reduced below the heat detector operating temperature, and turns the water back on when that temperature is exceeded. The main advantage over a wet pipe sprinkler system is that the firecycle system automatically stops water flow when heat is reduced below the thermal detector temperature located in the vicinity of the fire, and after a 1 to 5 minute preset time delay has elapsed. 1, record 13, English, - firecycle%20sprinkler%20system

Record number: 15, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The test equipment consists of a horizontal tunnel 7. 6 m long, 450 mm wide, and 300 mm deep... The roof is removable and lined with a low density material of mineral composition. The walls and floor are constructed of refractory fire brick. One wall has observation windows along its length. Flames from two burners at one end are forced down the tunnel by a steady draught of air at 1. 2 m/s. These burner flames are about 1. 37 m long, release heat at a steady rate of about 90 kW, and impinge directly on the test specimen, which is mounted either on the floor or on the ceiling of the tunnel. This exposure is similar in intensity to what occurs when a small piece of furniture leaning against a wall is set on fire. The tunnel is calibrated by adjusting the rate of heat release of the burners so that it takes about five and a half minutes for flames to reach the exhaust end of the tunnel when the specimen is 18 mm select-grade red oak. In the exhaust duct at the end of the tunnel are a light source and detector for measuring smoke and a thermocouple for determining heat released. 3, record 15, English, - tunnel%20test

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 19, English, - pneumatic%20rate%2Dof%2Drise%20spot%20detector

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.

Remote heat sensing techniques evolved from space technology developments related to weather satellites can be used to detect comparative heat energy losses from roofs, walls, windows, and so on. A method called thermography is defined as the conversion of a temperature pattern detected on a surface by contrast into an image called a thermogram... Thermovision is defined as the technique of utilizing the infrared radiation from a surface which varies with the surface temperatures, to produce a thermal picture or thermogram. A camera can scan the area in question and focus the radiation on a sensitive detector which in turn converts it to an electronic signal. 2, record 27, English, - thermovision

Optoacoustic detector. Light which is absorbed by a molecule is generally reradiated from the molecule in the form of heat. If a laser, at an absorbing wavelength of a gas of interest, is passed through a closed cell, the temperature of the entire gas in the cell will rise and thus the pressure of the gas in the cell will rise. If the laser is turned on and off at a frequency of 100-20000 Hz, the resulting pressure rises and drops can be picked up as a signal by sensitive microphones. This somewhat odd combination of optics and acoustics turns out to have several advantages over systems which measure the absorption directly. The absorption will be quite small and thus the change in intensity of the laser beam is nearly impossible to detect. Because pressure in the cell rises more quickly for small length cells, this effect exactly cancels out gains in overall absorption by making the cell longer. Thus, a small optoacoustic cell will accomplish the same as a larger cell making its size a great asset.... The device is being tested as a sniffer for bomb vapours and for ambient air analyses. 1, record 28, English, - optoacoustic%20detector
