The Battle of Fire Safety: Ionization vs Photoelectric Sensors
When it comes to fire detection technology, two popular sensor types stand out: ionization and photoelectric sensors. Both play crucial roles in fire alarm systems, but understanding the differences between these sensors is essential for effective fire protection. Ionization Sensors: Ionization sensors are known for their sensitivity to fast-spreading fires. These sensors operate by using radioactive material to ionize the air within the chamber. When smoke disrupts the ion flow, the alarm is tr
