Know Your Suitable Type of Fire Detector Are
you unsure which fire detector is right for your
business? You don't need to know! QuickShipFire
is ready to help you create the ideal fire
protection system for you. There are actually
four different types of detectors that are used
to sense the presence of a fire. The difference
is in whether they can detect smoke or heat.
Understanding the differences between the
detectors is the best way to decide which one is
right for you and your building. The best option
would be to purchase an ionization or
photoelectric detector. This could change
depending on the type of building.   Heat
Detector The heat detectors are usually used in
warehouses, storage rooms and other areas that
arent often occupied. The detectors will notify
you if the temperature rises or the room is
heated. Heat detectors take longer to detect fire
than smoke detectors. They are less likely to go
off when there is steam, humidity, or
precipitation. Ionization Smoke Detector Smoke
detectors that detect ionization are often found
in restaurants and commercial kitchens. These
detectors activate when smoke is detected in the
air. Two metal plates are inside the detector,
and they have an electric current that flows
back-and-forth. The alarm will sound if there is
smoke in the chamber.

Photoelectric Smoke Detector These detectors can
detect small fires. Similar to ionization
detectors but using an electrical current
instead, photoelectric detectors use a beam light
to detect smoke. The alarm will go off if smoke
is detected in the chamber. Ionization and
Photoelectric Smoke Detector The best way to arm
your house is with a smoke detector that detects
both photoelectric smoke and ionization. This
detector works together the photoelectric and
ionization detectors. Smoke in the air will cause
both the electric current and the beam of light
to be disrupted, which will trigger the alarm.
This detector works as a 2-in-1 system. However,
it will not detect heat.   QuickShipFire can
