5. Cirrus Pro Series ‘Cloud Chamber’ Aspirating Fire Detectors
How do they work?
What do they detect?

6. Every combustible material has a NORMAL temperature range
Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
How does a fire start?
Every combustible material has a NORMAL temperature range
Temperature
‘Ignition Point’
Visible smoke (detected by ‘optical’ detection methods)
Massive generation of INVISIBLE
sub micron particles
Cirrus Pro Series Aspirating Fire Detectors
‘Thermal Particulate Point’
The worlds most versatile fire detector

7. Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
What are these sub-micron particles?
These are sub micron carbon particles
They are mirco-meters in size
They exist in normal air all the time
We breath them in continuously
In normal conditions only combustion generates the massive quantities that the the ‘Cloud Chamber’ can interpret as a fire condition

8. Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors Sub-micron particle detection?
micron particles ?
Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
Sub-micron particle detection?
In an air space 1 cm3 there are approximately 15, sub-micron particles in normal conditions i.e. (no overheat condition or fire)
In the same size air space (1 cm3 ) when there is an overheat or fire condition approximately 10,000,000, sub-micron particles are produced
The ‘Cloud Chamber’ detects this increase in particle generation
The problem is that these particles are
INVISIBLE

9. Invisible 0.0025 micron particles ?
Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
Sub-micron particle detection?
Cloud Chamber
From invisible particles that cannot be measured
To BIGGER visible particles that can be measured
‘Cloud Chamber’ process condenses
water droplets on to all particles
The enlarged particles form a cloud and the
‘Cloud Chamber’ measures the resultant cloud density
Airflow containing ALL particles
passes through the ‘Cloud Chamber’

10. Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
Why are Cloud Chambers immune to false alarms from dust ?
Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
sub micron
combustion particles
micron
dust/smoke particles
Cloud Chamber
Condensate water droplets onto the sample
Introduce dust into the cloud chamber
Dust particles cannot provide enough cloud density to cause an alarm from the cloud chamber
