Smoke control systems are now being used in spaces that are very challenging from a fire detection standpoint. High ceilings, high airflows, automobile exhaust, dust and dirt can preclude the use of traditional spot-type smoke detectors in these spaces. This session provides an overview of other fire and smoke detection technologies that are currently available and presents the results of tests comparing the performance of these different detection technologies in warehouse, high ceiling and tunnel environments. The information presented should help designers choose appropriate fire and smoke detection technologies for activation of smoke control strategies in specialized environments.
