Abstract

Es wird eine Vorrichtung bzw. ein Verfahren zur Prüfung eines Brandmelders vorgeschlagen, wobei neben einem Rauchmelder des Brandmelders auch wenigstens ein Gassensor des Brandmelders bezüglich seiner Funktion überprüft wird. Dazu wird ein Prüfgas neben dem Aerosol für die Rauchmelderüberprüfung auf den Brandmelder gegeben. Das Prüfgas ist entweder mit dem Aerosol in einer Gasflasche oder getrennt von dem Aerosol in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung untergebracht. Dabei kann das Prüfgas auch als Aerosol verwendet werden. Als Prüfgas kann Methanol oder Ethanol oder Wasserstoff verwendet werden, wobei Wasserstoff bei Bedarf mittels Elektrolyse hergestellt wird. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, dass neben dem Rauchmelder und dem Gassensor auch ein Temperatursensor durch Verdunstungs- oder Entspannungskälte überprüft wird.

Figure 00000001
A device or a method for testing a fire detector is proposed, wherein in addition to a smoke detector of the fire detector, at least one gas sensor of the fire detector is also checked for its function. For this purpose, a test gas is placed next to the aerosol for the smoke detector check on the fire detector. The test gas is accommodated either with the aerosol in a gas bottle or separately from the aerosol in the device according to the invention. The test gas can also be used as an aerosol. Methanol or ethanol or hydrogen can be used as the test gas, hydrogen being produced by means of electrolysis if necessary. It is also possible that in addition to the smoke detector and the gas sensor, a temperature sensor is also checked by evaporative or flash cooling.
