Determining the best location of smoke sensor in office room

TL;DRAbstract

Smoke detectors are considered to be the most effective type of fire detectors. But where should they be installed in an office room to give a signal in time? Instructions for installing of smoke detectors are usually given in general terms, thus further information of the best location of smoke detectors would be needed. \n\nThe aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to determine the best location of the smoke detector in an office room. Research was divided into two subtasks. The first was a comparison of smoke detector installation instructions in 3 different countries (USA, United Kingdom, and Russia). Normative documents in these countries are similar, but each country emphasizes its own parameters which affect decision of the fire engineer. The second subtask was to carry out laboratory experiments. They were conducted to study the air flow patterns in an office room and response times of smoke detectors in different locations. \n\nThe investigated office room was about 11 m2, and the
