Flammable Gas Hazards

From Honeywell Analytics, Inc.

Combustion is a fairly simple chemical reaction in which Oxygen is combined rapidly with another substance resulting in the release of energy. This energy appears mainly as heat - sometimes in the form of flames. The igniting substance is normally...

Heat Detectors
Heat detectors are fire detection devices that sense heat produced by combustion.  Heat detectors can trigger an alarm when they detect rapid temperature rise or reach a preset temperature.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors are designed to sense the products of combustion. Common types include ionization chambers and photoelectric devices.
