The water vapor will not lead to a smoke detector alarm

Many manufacturers will inform the user not to smoke detector installed in a place a lot of water vapor, but did not specify why cannot be installed in these places, some unknown truth, the user might think that water vapor can cause smoke detector alarm. The actual situation is not so.

Cause the user appears such erroneous ideas, I want to be with steam and smoke look too similar to a great relationship, both seem to be white, the same "smoke". But they are different in essence. Smoke is actually composed of tiny solid particles composed of a large number of water vapor, which is a lot of liquid evaporates into the air, because of the decrease of temperature. The people standing in the flue gas in a small may feel discomfort, and even life-threatening, but standing in the mist but basic does not have what thing. Whether the ion type smoke detector and photoelectric smoke detectors, are very sensitive to small solid particles in fire smoke, which is why they can prevent fire, but they have what reaction of water vapor will not.

That is why smoke detector can not be installed in a place a lot of steam? This is because the smoke detector sensor containing very high sensitivity and other electronic components, we all know that the electronic products can not touch the water, so it is the same electronic device. Smoke detector relative humidity is too high. In the long-term, will damage its service life, affect its sensitivity, causing a fire occurs, can not be timely alarm or delayed alarm.

To sum up, the water vapor will not lead to a smoke detector alarm, but also not to smoke detector installed in the humidity is too big.
