- Abstract
- Smoke detectors have been compared in an environment similar to a real computer room. Four different test fires were used: smoldering transformer coil, smoldering cable, smoke bomb producing white smoke and flaming polyurethane foam. The test samples included optical and ionization point-type detectors, optical beam detectors, channel detectors and sampling detectors.
