Pickard, R.W., 1957. A STUDY OF THE OPERATION OF "RATE OF RISE" HEAT-SENSITIVE FIRE DETECTORS. Fire Research Notes 248


ABSTRACT

It is shown how the design of a "rate-of-rise" heat-sensitive fire detector is governed by the conditions of performance it is required to fulfil. The operating time of a detector of this type is compared with that of a similar fixed-temperature detector.
