This paper introduces a novel new smoke detector characterized by its very small size and very high sensitivity.
Therefore, such material has potential for use in cigarette smoke detector.
The SDAA was found to be very accurate in determining detector activation times for both high- and low-velocity smoke flows.
It was determined that FDS can predict smoke detector activation when used in conjunction with smoke detector lag correlations that correct for the time delay associated with smoke having to penetrate the detector housing.
It is shown that such a smoke detector is able to operate reliably under low concentration of smoke and high relative humidity conditions.
The results also show that the scattering photoelectric smoke detector is much more sensitive to the simulated dust and the nuisance alarm would occur more easily.
In its completion and entirety, the smoke detector unit properly functions and in the manner it was originally planned and designed.
As a result, the Heskestad model could result in an inaccuratethe activation time of photoelectric smoke detector compared to the Cleary model.
