Fire Detection and Fire Alarm System

Fire Incident is the most common news nowadays in Bangladesh. According to a Bangladeshi newspaper called The Daily Star In 2023 thousands of people were injured in the fire incident. So, Fire safety is the most critical aspect of building and industry management, and it’s important to ensure fast response to potential dangers by implementing fire detection and fire alarm systems.

In this category, Build Safe Engineering explores the intricacies of this system and also, all our related products linked by this category called Fire Detection and Fire Alarm System.

What is fire alarm system?

The fire alarm system is an integrated network of pipes, pumps, detectors, and sprinklers, that alert mechanisms to occupants and provide emergency resistance from any fire.

Types of fire alarm system:

There are two different fire alarm systems mostly used in Bangladesh, Conventional fire alarm system and addressable fire alarm system. Here are some details about those two alarm systems

Conventional Fire Alarm System:

Conventional fire alarm system is an old type of fire alarm system in Bangladesh. A conventional fire alarm system uses a simple wiring configuration to connect all the detectors and alarm devices to the central control panel.

Conventional fire alarm system products:

• Fire detectors
• Manual Call points
• Sounders
• Visual indicators
• Central Control panel

addressable Fire Alarm System:

The addressable fire alarm system is a smart way to discover fires. It’s a special fire alarm system and even it’s not like the regular fire alarm you found in the Bangladeshi market.

It discovers the fire’s exact location like a map that shows the fire’s incident occurred. This helps firefighters to find and stop the fire faster.

Now Talk about the fire detection system, A Fire detection system is the most important part of a fire alarm system because, first of all alarm system needs to detect the exact location of a fire hazard.

What is a fire detection system?

A network of devices that built-in fire identification sensors work to identify the presence of fire at its early stages. Early detection is crucial in preventing the escalation of fire incidents and minimizing damages. All of the detection devices are based on 2 different categories, Addressable detection systems, and Conventional detection systems.

Here are all three types of detector systems used in Bangladeshi fire alarm systems.

Smoke Detection:

Smoke detectors work by detecting smoke particles from the air, which can be a sign of fire or a possibility of to fire incident. When the detectors detect smoke, they give a signal to the alarm systems, and then the alarm sounds louder to alert related people.

In Bangladesh, two major types of smoke detectors are available

• Ionization-type smoke detector
• Photoelectric-type smoke detector

Gas detection:

Gas is dangerous for human breathing, sometimes it needs to protect your home or business in Bangladesh. The gas detector is the device that detects the presence of gases in the air. It helps to protect people from carbon monoxide, and other gases.

Gas sensors apply common science to detect the presence of gases in the air. When the sensor detects any kind of gas, it sends a signal to the detector, which sounds an alarm to alert people by sounding louder. Two types of gas detectors are fixed and portable.

Heat Detection:

Heat sensors work to detect the heat produced by fire and then the fire alarm systems awake and sound louder to alert everyone.

Heat sensors are mainly designed for areas where smoke detectors may not work. That’s why the importance of heat detectors is increasing in our country.

The main two types of heat detectors were available in Bangladesh. Fixed temperature heat detectors The second one is Rate-of-rise heat detectors.

Fire alarm system control panel:

The fire alarm control panel is called the heart of the alarm system. It plays a critical role in serving as a command center orchestrating the coordination and communication among various detectors and alarm devices. The control panel ensures a harmonized response to potential fire threats and provides safety from fire.
