EQUATIONS FOR THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THERMOSENSITIVE ELEMENTS OF FIRE DETECTORS EMBEDDED IN A CONCRETE BLOCK

Statement of the problem. Solving the problem of giving the properties of a building structure to detect fires outside buildings is one of the ways to prevent the transition of fire from one building to another. Embedding of fire automation equipment in construction products should be carried out after making the appropriate calculations. The absence of an expression for determining the temperature of the heat-sensitive element of a fire detector inside a concrete block requires detailed calculations. At the same time, it is necessary to study the influence of the distance to the object of a possible fire, the size of the heat-sensitive element, and the heat flow on the time of fire detection by a construction product included in the smart home system.Results. As part of the temperature measurement of heat-sensitive elements of fire detectors inside the concrete block, empirical data were obtained. This information allows us to describe the radiant heat exchange at an early stage of a fire. This is typical of open burning outdoors. Conclusions. Approximate equations are obtained for determining the temperature and response time of a fire detector inside a concrete block at the initial stage of a fire, depending on the distance to the fire object (radiation source), heat flow, and the size of the thermosensitive element. These values can be determined with sufficient accuracy.
