- Abstract
- The introduction of ceiling mounted destratification fans into rooms protected by "products of combustion" type fire detectors will reduce the effectiveness of these detectors. This report documents the tests, test results and recommendations concerning the effects of ceiling mounted destratification fans on "products of combustion" type fire detectors arising from the experiments and data analysis performed at the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory under sponsorship of the U.S. Air Force Engineering and Services Center.
