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