DTS can measure temperature distribution over a wide area with one optical fiber sensor cable which makes
it an ideal fire detector.
-
Measured temperature distribution data can be computer-proccesed and accommodated in various kinds of
fire detections such as rate of temperature rise, fixed-temperature detection, distributed detection, and spot detection.
-
Since the location of abnormal conditions can be pinpointed, the integration of DTS systems with fire
extinguishing equipment can realize superior fire prevention systems.
