heat detectors

Heat detectors are safety devices designed to sense increases in temperature within an environment. They activate when the temperature rises rapidly or reaches a preset threshold, signaling a potential fire. Unlike smoke detectors, which respond to smoke particles, heat detectors respond specifically to heat, making them suitable for environments where smoke may be present from non-fire sources or where dust and fumes could cause false alarms. They are commonly used in industrial settings, commercial kitchens, and areas with high humidity. When activated, they typically trigger alarms or fire suppression systems to alert occupants and initiate safety protocols.
