A photo-thermal smoke detector works on a different principle than an optical smoke detector. Here’s a brief explanation of how it works:
- Light Source: The detector emits a beam of light (usually infrared) into a chamber.
- Smoke Detection: When smoke particles enter the chamber, they absorb some of the light energy. This absorption causes a slight increase in temperature around the smoke particles.
- Temperature Sensor: A temperature sensor is positioned near the light source. It detects the slight increase in temperature caused by the absorption of light energy by the smoke particles.
- Alarm Activation: When the temperature sensor detects a significant increase in temperature (indicating the presence of smoke), it triggers an alarm. The alarm can be a local audible alarm or a signal sent to a central control panel.
- Advantages: Photo-thermal smoke detectors are less likely to be affected by dust or other airborne particles that can interfere with optical smoke detectors. They are also less likely to be affected by changes in temperature or humidity.
