Heat Detectors

Heat detectors provide reliable fire detection in areas where smoke detectors are not suitable, such as hot, dusty, or humid spaces. We supply industrial‑grade fixed‑temperature and rate‑of‑rise heat detectors for factories, warehouses, kitchens, plant rooms, and harsh environments across Saudi Arabia.

Product Overview

A heat detector senses changes in temperature and sends an alarm signal when the heat rises past a set level or increases too quickly. Unlike smoke detectors, heat detectors do not react to dust, steam, or normal fumes as easily, so they are ideal for demanding industrial and commercial areas. We offer fixed‑temperature models that trigger at a specific temperature, such as around 57°C or 90°C, and rate‑of‑rise models that react when the temperature rises sharply in a short time. These detectors integrate with conventional and addressable fire alarm systems used in Saudi buildings and industrial sites.

Key Features

  • Designed for use in hot, dusty, or humid environments where standard smoke detectors may give false alarms.
  • Suitable for commercial kitchens, boiler rooms, plant rooms, warehouses, workshops, and parking areas.
  • Fixed‑temperature detectors trigger when the air around them reaches a preset temperature, such as 57°C or 90°C.
  • Rate‑of‑rise detectors trigger when the temperature climbs quickly over a short period, even if it does not reach the maximum set point.
  • Available for conventional and addressable fire alarm systems, with compatible bases and wiring.
  • Rugged design to handle vibration, dirt, and changing temperatures in industrial environments.

Benefits

  • Reliable fire detection in spaces where steam, dust, or fumes make smoke detectors impractical.
  • Helps reduce false alarms and unwanted system shut‑downs in production or process areas.
  • Supports compliance with fire safety codes and client HSE standards for industrial projects in Saudi Arabia.
  • Works with smoke detectors, manual call points, and sounders as part of a complete fire alarm system.
  • Simple design with long service life when installed and maintained correctly.

Usage Instructions

End users do not manually operate heat detectors, but correct installation and care are essential.

  1. Install heat detectors in line with your fire detection design, focusing on hot, dusty, or humid areas where smoke detectors would cause false alarms.
  2. Mount detectors on the ceiling or high on the wall, away from vents that could affect airflow around the sensor.
  3. Do not cover or paint the detector, and keep the area around it clear so heat can reach the sensor.
  4. Arrange regular testing and inspection as part of your fire alarm maintenance schedule, checking the communication with the fire alarm panel.
  5. In very harsh environments, clean detectors and inspect them more often, as dust, oil, or condensation can build up over time.
  6. If a heat detector activates, follow your fire procedure: investigate if safe, raise the alarm, and evacuate as required.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use a heat detector instead of a smoke detector?
You should use a heat detector in areas with high dust, steam, or fumes, such as kitchens, boiler rooms, plant rooms, and some industrial processes, where smoke detectors might trigger false alarms.
What is the difference between fixed‑temperature and rate‑of‑rise heat detectors?
A fixed‑temperature heat detector triggers when the air around it reaches a set temperature, like 57°C or 90°C, while a rate‑of‑rise detector triggers when the temperature increases very quickly over a short time.
At what temperature do heat detectors usually trigger?
Many fixed‑temperature heat detectors are set to trigger at around 57°C or 90°C, but the exact value depends on the model and the environment it is designed for.
Can I use only heat detectors for my whole building?
Most buildings need a mix of smoke detectors and heat detectors; using only heat detectors may delay detection in some areas, so a proper fire detection design is important.
How often should heat detectors be inspected or cleaned?
Heat detectors should be inspected during regular fire alarm maintenance visits, and in very hot or dirty environments they may need more frequent cleaning and checks to keep them reliable.
Do heat detectors react to normal temperature changes?
Correctly selected and installed heat detectors are designed not to react to normal daily temperature swings and should only trigger when temperatures rise beyond their set conditions or very quickly.
