Abstract
This paper is basic study for development of the photoelectric-type smoke detector that is able to distinguish fire source as well as fire detection. For this subject, Light source and sensor which is normally used for the conventional smoke detector are assembled for the optical chamber. Using 3 type of the test fires (the paper fire, the wood fire, the flammable liquid fire) this paper attempts to find optical properties of each fire. These 3 type of fire are used in the testing of smoke detector according to UL 268 standard. As the result, there are disambiguated between the paper fire and the wood fire in scattering and reason of extinction in the flammable liquid fire is different from that of the paper and the wood fire.
