Book Smart Smoke and Fire Detection with Wireless and Global System for Mobile Technology

Download or read book Smart Smoke and Fire Detection with Wireless and Global System for Mobile Technology written by Abdulrahman Alsaadi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Fire safety is one of the major concerns for a safe home environment. Current implementations of home or workplace environment monitoring systems consist of rudimentary smoke detectors devoid of any communication capabilities. Recent trends in the industry have shown a growth in the use of smart devices at homes and with the recent advances in areas of machine learning and data sciences, this trend is expected to evolve at a rate faster than ever before. These smart devices constantly monitor the data of their environment and make decisions by performing data analytics on those observations. Amazon Echo is one such example where an 'always-listening' device responds intelligently to a speaker's command giving its users a Smart Home experience. In this implementation, we harness the developments in aforementioned areas to make Smart Fire Alarm System. The Smart Fire Alarm constantly monitors the environment and not only alerts the facility where it is located, but it also communicates with the fire department and the guardian of the property through Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication making the damage control procedures efficient and faster. An ARM7 processor (LPDC 2148), ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, and GSM subsystems are used in this implementation to communicate between the base station and smoke detectors.

Welcome to the path of enhanced fire safety and knowledge. Let’s begin exploring the world of fire detection systems! Ionization smoke detectors are a type of smoke detector that use ionization technology to detect the presence of smoke in the air. Here’s a detailed overview: How Ionization Smoke Detectors Work Radioactive Material: Ionization smoke detectors contain a small amount of radioactive material, typically americium-241. This radioactive material ionizes the air in a small chamber within the detector. Ionization Process: The americium-241 emits alpha particles, which collide with air molecules, creating ions (charged particles). This process generates a small, steady electrical current within the chamber as the ions move between two charged plates. Disruption by Smoke: When smoke enters the ionization chamber, it attaches to the ions, disrupting the flow of electrical current. The reduction in current flow is detected by the circuitry within the smoke detector. Alarm Activation: The decrease in current flow triggers the alarm, alerting occupants to the presence of smoke and potential fire. Characteristics and Advantages Sensitivity to Fast-Flaming Fires: Ionization smoke detectors are particularly responsive to fast-flaming fires that produce small, invisible combustion particles. These fires often spread rapidly and can be detected quickly by ionization detectors. Cost-Effective: Generally, ionization smoke detectors are less expensive than photoelectric smoke detectors. Widespread Use: They are widely used and can be found in many homes and commercial buildings. Limitations False Alarms: Ionization smoke detectors are more prone to false alarms caused by cooking fumes or steam. Less Effective for Smoldering Fires: They are less sensitive to slow, smoldering fires that produce larger smoke particles. For these types of fires, photoelectric smoke detectors are more effective. Radioactive Material: Although the amount of radioactive material used is very small and poses minimal health risk, some people may prefer to avoid products containing radioactive substances. Installation and Maintenance Placement: Install ionization smoke detectors on every level of the home, inside each bedroom, and outside sleeping areas. They should be placed on the ceiling or high on the wall. Regular Testing: Test the detectors monthly to ensure they are working properly. Most units have a test button that can be pressed to check the alarm. Battery Replacement: Replace the batteries at least once a year or whenever the low-battery warning sounds. Some newer models come with long-life batteries that last up to 10 years. Replacement of Units: Replace the entire smoke detector unit every 8-10 years, as sensors and electronic components degrade over time. Combination Detectors Many modern smoke detectors combine both ionization and photoelectric sensors to provide comprehensive protection against both fast-flaming and smoldering fires. These dual-sensor detectors can offer enhanced safety and help reduce the likelihood of false alarms. Summary Ionization smoke detectors are an effective and affordable solution for detecting fast-flaming fires. However, for optimal fire protection, especially in residential settings, it’s often recommended to use a combination of ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors or dual-sensor units. Regular maintenance and proper placement are key to ensuring these devices function correctly and provide early warning in the event of a fire.

Book The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System

Download or read book The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System written by Mohammad Samadi Gharajeh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a smart fire detection system designed using a wireless sensor network and fuzzy methods. This system predicts, controls, and provides alerts to various events based on intelligent techniques. Routing protocols are performed based on intelligent procedures in which they are classified into two main groups: static and dynamic. Static protocols are used to transmit data packets between stationary nodes, while dynamic protocols are applied to transmit messages between rescue teams and fire departments. The active and passive states are specified for sensor nodes to balance the remaining energy of the nodes and prolong the network lifetime. The probability of explosion, fire, burn, and suffocation is determined based on fuzzy procedures. People affected can be guided to the exit at event places based on an intelligent method. In addition, members and dispatch routes of rescue and support teams are selected using intelligent methods to reduce financial losses and human casualties. The book will be useful for professors, researchers, and engineers in computer and electrical engineering.
