Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fire alarm system with a fire alarm center, primary alarm lines and smoke detectors connected to it, which detect different fire parameters, the smoke density being measured with a smoke sensor and the heat or temperature being measured with a temperature sensor and being stored for further processing.
  • a physical fire parameter either smoke or temperature
  • a physical fire parameter is generally used for the early detection of damage fires in order to determine the alarm. This can more easily lead to malfunctions or deceptions, for example caused by cigarette smoke.
  • the parameter under consideration does not change or changes only slightly. For example, when burning alcohol, a liquid fire, no aerosol formation, i.e. no smoke occurs, a smoke detector does not respond. A heat detector would recognize such a combustion process, but relatively late.
  • liquid fires such as alcohol
  • the temperature change is not always detected early, ie quickly enough.
  • hydrogen is released, which combines with the atmospheric oxygen to form water, which in turn accumulates in the form of water vapor in the surrounding atmosphere. It is therefore an object of the invention to detect damage fires early and reliably with the aid of multi-criteria detectors and also to take account of the water vapor formation that occurs.
  • a moisture sensor is additionally arranged in the fire detector, with which the relative atmospheric humidity is measured and temporarily stored
  • a microcomputer and at least one read-only memory in which the water vapor saturation curve is stored are provided are that using the microcomputer and the stored data of the saturation curve from the measured temperature and the measured relative humidity, the absolute humidity is calculated and saved as a new and additional fire parameter, namely absolute humidity, for further processing, and that the three fire parameters smoke density, temperature and absolute humidity, can be related by means of a linking device in such a way that fire alarm criteria for the formation of an alarm signal are derived therefrom.
  • the fire events described at the outset can be detected early, for example if there is a rise in temperature and a simultaneous rapid increase in the absolute humidity due to the combustion of a certain liquid, such as eg alcohol, can be recognized.
  • a certain liquid such as eg alcohol
  • the fire parameter smoke density is also advantageously recorded, and from the three fire parameters, namely also the additional fire parameter absolute humidity, by means of suitable ones in a read-only memory stored detection algorithms in the event of fire form an early and safe alarm signal.
  • the calculation of the absolute air humidity and the combination of the various measured values to form an alarm signal can either be carried out in a fire detector, which is designed as a combination detector, or else in the fire alarm center, with the individual detector measured values being periodically transmitted to the alarm center.
  • FIG. 1 shows the measured value curve for the fire parameters temperature T, absolute humidity AF and smoke density RD of an optical smoke detector over a time axis.
  • the same scale factors are used for the measurement axis for all drawings.
  • the time axis is based on 14 minutes. It can be seen very clearly here that the three fire parameters increase relatively evenly.
  • FIG. 1 A typical cigarette fire over a time axis of 25 minutes is shown in FIG.
  • Fig. 4 a spirit fire is now shown over the time axis of thirty minutes. Here you can see very clearly that this fire has a very strong part in the temperature increase T and a very strong part in the increase in the absolute humidity AF. The percentage of smoke density RD is negligible.
  • the fire characteristic curve when boiling water is shown in Fig. 5.
  • the timeline has a scale of 90 minutes.
  • a high proportion of the absolute humidity AF can be seen.
  • a slight heat development in the course of the measured value of the temperature T can also be seen.
  • a very sensitive heat detector could possibly trigger a false alarm, but this can be prevented here with a multi-criteria detector according to the invention if an extremely strong course of the absolute humidity is detected in relation to the weak temperature course.
  • the three fire parameters smoke density, temperature and absolute air humidity are taken into account in the fire alarm system according to the invention.
  • the acquisition of the measured values and the processing expediently take place with an intelligent, microprocessor-supported combination detector which periodically records these values.
  • the smoke density is measured according to the principle of optical backscattering and a measurement value for the smoke density is made available for further processing with a downstream electronic circuit.
  • the moisture sensor for detecting the relative air humidity is expediently formed by a capacitance which generates a frequency-analog signal with the aid of an oscillator circuit.
  • the downstream microcomputer measures this frequency with a quartz-controlled time base counter and uses this to determine the value of the relative air humidity from a linearization table that is stored in a read-only memory.
  • the sensor for the ambient temperature can be formed by a temperature-dependent resistor, for example an NTC resistor (thermistor), which uses a second oscillator circuit to generate a second frequency-analog signal.
  • the microcomputer measures this frequency with a quartz-controlled time base counter and uses this to determine the value of the ambient temperature using a second linearization table.
  • the absolute humidity is calculated using the water vapor saturation curve, which e.g. is in the form of a table.
  • the corresponding maximum possible water content is assigned to the corresponding temperature.
  • the instantaneous absolute humidity is multiplied by the relative humidity.
  • the absolute humidity is determined in the combination detector. This measured value of the absolute humidity is linked with the determined temperature and smoke density measured values with the aid of a detection algorithm located in the combination detector to form an alarm signal which is output to the fire alarm control panel.
  • the absolute humidity can also be calculated and the alarm signal generated in the fire alarm control panel itself.
  • the combination detector transmits its periodically determined measured values of the relative humidity, the temperature and the smoke density to the fire alarm control panel.
